Cultural fest-cum awareness programme on UPSC exams held at Sarat Chandra IAS Academy
Assistant Commissioner, Income Tax, T. Saveesh Varma on Sunday urged students to read their subjects for pleasure rather than treating them as a burdensome curriculum.
Addressing students of Sarat Chandra IAS Academy, at a cultural fest-cum awareness programme on UPSC exams for the academy students, he said cracking the Civils examinations was an effective way to fulfil one’s desire to serve the needy in the society.
Speaking about the myths associated with the UPSC exams, he said it is not true that Civils exam is a tough nut to crack. “Along with hard work and dedication, if you invest adequate amount of interest, navigating the preparation period would become a cakewalk,” he said, adding that many students had passed the exam in Telugu medium and were serving the society in various capacities.
