Title: Once Upon An IAS Exam
Author: K Vijaykarthikeyan
Published: 2018
Genre: Fiction
BookMarks
The book describes one year in the life of an UPSC aspirant. From missing out in UPSC prelims to breaking through in the next year. Along the way it’s a journey of friendships, experiences and a love story. There is also an attempt to align with the events of 2010-11 including the ODI Cricket World Cup and the Anna Hazare movement.
This is a light, breezy read which also throws light on the IAS entrance examinations, the types of candidates, their struggles, their support system and the business of coaching centres. The plot is straightforward with no real dramatic twists.
And there is also an analogy to MS Dhoni thrown in at the end.
