I realised this long back, I was one of those aspirants, the culture one gets inside during the UPSC preparation is brutal competition and aggressive hustle, most of which is unproductive - reading newspapers, objective history, government schemes and many such topics which reduce you to nothing if you don’t clear this exam.
I just gave one attempt and I was good.
Thank god. I am out of it now, I am a Scientist working for Google now. Living happily.
Exactly, I was a banker, & I resigned from my job to pursue this, & gave 1 attempt. Now as my 2nd attempt is coming, I have gained a better perspective and I'm going to pursue public policy & research as I genuinely like the field. I'd be able to do the work which I hoped to in the Service, & probably a lot more.
Congratulations on your achievement, btw.

You are a failed man in your life..........virat kohli will not throw away his bat for the shake of money he will do anything to keep his dream
@doncorleone9297 given 3 attempts in upsc cse, failed
Now preparing for bank exams, failed in sbi po final result even after giving interview, now preparing for nicl AO mains.
Thank God you understood and redirected your life.
Poverty of aspiration and status driven society is leading to this situation.
On an average, there are approx 10 lakh people aspiring for UPSC out of a total population of 1.3 billion, which is approx .076%. How you can say that there is a poverty of aspiration?
@@kavishankarpandit3019 those 10 lakh graduates spending 7 years of their life equals 70 lakh years of human talent being wasted for just 500 seats, they can do a lot in these many man days !!
@@nirjharrajawat2222 But according to data 80% of engineers don't get a job after completing their degree. Human talent has also been wasted there. Who will be accountable for that loss?
@@kavishankarpandit3019the real purpose or outcome of education should be that a person becomes confident to go to world and do something meaningful, engineering degree were over sold in India market and lot of parents forced kids to study that as society is status driven, quantity is not an answer, quality of education is, people need to stop looking at Messiahs to help them, help oneself, internet is full of knowledge yet we see only social media traffic ? Why don’t folks educate themselves in same proportion and create something??
A person enjoying a privilege of joint secretary saying why are you preparing for this paper.....ye itna chutiya aadmi hain
Coming from Bihar, can't even tell, how much people crazy about UPSC nd especially IAS.
I myself was in dillema, whether to choose MBA or UPSC. Now i have made my mind clear.
Such podcasts and discussion are much needed bcz there plenty of people who are glamorizing this job, for there profit.
Repeated attempts to clear CA final exam is also a waste of time and precious LIFE
What's your point dumbo
Disagree, they keep working. Even if they fail, they have market ready skills.
IAS/govt job crowd is a different story. The amount of no work exp 30 yos is astounding.
6bo CA students do not undergo rigorous training
This is your misconception
Results of Final exams are kept artificially low
Results of Entrance exam are extremely High and students are made to work as article clerks for CA at very low stipend thus providing cheap labour to CA's
ICAI is the biggest fraud on Students
Yeah .. even without final exams - they are working and contributing to their sector
r8558 article clerks r forced to work for CA's at very low stipend
Why the CA's cannot pay them market driven salary
Better late than never. Thank god atleast someone who has worked at the highest level of the government acknowledged this fact and presented it to the public. It's high time that indian youth start to prioritise their preferences.
Hey unemployed youth leave fathers hotel and get a job. Aur kinta fake hindu communal BJP ka channel dekh k time waste karega.

Bhai Sanyal sir is not even himself a permanent bureaucrat. He is a lateral entrant, no matter on what position he is, he has never cleared Civil services, he is sitting on that position through a lateral entry, if the govt. changes, he will have to look for something else.

@@rajsharma8807 Whatever he is, whatever he does, who gave Sanjeev Sanyal sir the authority to comment upon our aspirants, does’t he feel shame? Himself being a lateral entrant, commenting negatively upon the meritorious officers who are there in the services by clearing the toughest examination of India. He should take his words back. I respect him for whatever he is, but he should show little maturity while talking on such issues, and whether it is twitter or TH-cam, see the comments below, all those who have failed the exam even after giving repeated attempts are commenting and supporting Sanyal sir’s thoughts. Ask those who have cleared the exam by working hard in the right direction, there are multiple examples every year in the result. Is he the cabinet secretary of India, or is he the secretary of ministry of personnel who is giving his personal views regarding it and trying to demean the bureaucrats who have come to service by doing sheer hard work.
Poverty of aspirations ... perfect
I am glad that Sanjeev Sir is single handedly taking on the UPSC mafia...a lot of shops will get closed if India's aspirations are set higher that's why there will be a lot of resistance from poverty peddlers as Bharat Rises

No Chandril Bhattacharya and Agnijit Sen was hurt during the making of this video...
He has a unique family background,
only hindutva is the anti dote to communism, islam, evangelism, seperatism, etc. Communist ideology poisioned fools bring out opinions which stink like farts. TMC derives its ideology from communism and islam ( goonda giri, rape, fear as a tool for political control, cut money vasooli ).
This is a real problem which people are afraid to talk about as it offends some powerful people in this country. This will definitely hurt ego of some people but will benefit lakhs of young aspirants who waste energy and time in getting into services which is not actually meant for them. We should also get into larger discussion of creating a system in India, wherein one can identify his/her core area of interest at an early age and strive in that direction instead of blindly taking up UPSC or for that matter any other competitive exam.
Mr Sanyalji is destroying this obsession and i am so happy he is doing this much needed and that he is not taking a backfoot
But the word was wrong .its not aspirations rather opportunities
He himself is not a Upsc Cse officer. He is a lateral entry officer. So he has no right to comment on Upsc aspirant.

You are suggesting other to become plumber and electrician. What reputation does plumber and electrician in India. We all know they are earning in lakhs. What is bad if someone is doing B ed.
@@DipankarBhuyan-dv7rd that’s the problem…”reputation”. why look down on people who work from their hands…nothing against B.ed but way too much people doing it… so many people can’t even get into a college for B.ed then take admission in some states where degrees are given like chocolates…they come back and want to become govt teacher. Nobody wants to go in field and work under sun, then people say unemployment rising.. we are very short of good plumbers, technicians, carpenters. After few years you will make more than any govt teacher
There is no respect at all. Everybody in this planet needs respect.

It's Not poverty of aspirations.. It's Poverty in literal sense. Mr economic advisor should talk about why there aren't more jobs and opportunities for youth esp for those who aren't from a privileged background. People living in poverty can't afford an MBA or build a startup from scratch but what they can do is, spend ₹100 and dream about getting their whole family out of that poverty just by sheer willpower & hardwork. I think he should visit states like Bihar, UP to see the ground reality and understand why it's happening.
UP is developing. Tell me why is Bihar like. I am a Bihari myself and I am ashamed that my state is a burden on Our Country's economy who made it that way?
Yeah our PM's economic advisor must not have visited the various states of our country including those which are currently ruled by BJP right?... DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!... Watch all the podcasts of Sanjeev sir...
This man's knowledge about Indian history and economy is unfathomable...
@@mahanirvaantantra Bihar's economy is in shambles because people migrate to other states in search of jobs and livelihood & people who stay are largely dependent on agriculture and unorganized sector. All these things happen because our policy makers don't pay attention to the root cause of problem i.e. Lack of affordable quality education, lack of skill training & lack job opportunities near their hometown.
And as far as UP is concerned, it runs a scheme for civil services coaching, isn't it contrary to what mr sanyal believes?
@@weird_philosopher I could be wrong but the majority of videos i see, either he is doing podcasts or giving press briefings.
Let's agree that he does field visits and interact with people on ground and of course he is an eminent scholar But that should be a cause for more worry 'cause even after knowing all those things, he still couldn't understand why so many people are writing UPSC and other govt exams every year. For many it's not their dream or choice , it's simply that they don't have enough opportunities if they aren't from privileged sections of society be it economical or social.
@@suyashyadav5524 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 live in delusion chutiye
He is totally right..no one wants become ias to reform in our society..everyone wants power and money via these kinds post
100% agreement. I prepared UPSC for 5 years..and then left it realising what nonsense i was doing!
Rs 2/- credited 😂
Cuz u were not a serious aspirant! UPSC was never made for you! Good that u got to know ur level! 😂
@nousername1587 Looser with zero analytical plus critical thinking skills detected. 🦧🐷
You can use your knowledge for other competitive exams. And if you seriously study for upsc and still not clear it then also no years are wasted . You can give Bank PO, Staff selection commission, MBA exam. Knowledge never wasted .
Thank god finally someone is talking about it. Same is the case with most govt exams. You learn something usless for years to end up being unemployable
Kabhi padha hai upsc le liye!
Do you even know what's fucking the syllabus?
Morons
exactly. Best solution is to limit attempts to just two for everybody.
He is absolutely right, 7 - 8 yrs just to get a job in government & without contributing anything to the economy. lakhs of students wasting there time & money.. keeping it to max 2-3 attempts & restricting age limit will be a solution to it.
I got a job in IT company and didn't join it.Gave UPSC exams studying eveyday for 13 hours and thank God I came out of it after 2 years and joined an NGO and now working as an HOD -Head of Department in a school
Some of my friends are still preparing and its their 6th attempt
Sanjeev is right👍
Let's be blunt, the only reason people gravitate towards gov jobs are because:
1) it is pretty much the only sector where you can't get fired for non performance and
2) bribes
lets's be blunt... only reason why I hate gov jobs because I am failed man in life
you forgot one major reason, "gifts" from the bride family. Though it is applicable only for men!
@@kunti_putra : that too, but that is a function of 1 and 2
For me it's KAAMCHORI.
Why this hate towards govt jobs ... nobody forcing anyone to come to govt jobs....I have seen old generation how they passionately did work in govt jobs and helps in mobilizations of family
I have read a number of comments in appreciation of sanjeev sir's narrative. A few questions to them.
1) is govt sector and pvt sector same in facilities.if yes then remember the covide era when on 1st day of the month,the givt employees used to get the salary while a pvt sector employee used to receive half salary that too late barring IT sector which was blossoming.?
2) leave policy- ask leaves in pvt sector..the head sees as if u have asked for his kidneys?
3) firing rate--
See the lay off in byjus, Infosys.
4) just see the condition of entry level engineer in sector like mining, mechanical etc..u will realise why people are running after givt jobs.(Except IT sector which is prince among the pvt sector)
Disclaimer:: i m not supporting govt job and condemning pvt sector.The only thing that i want to emphasize is that have strict regulations in pvt sector and bring it at par with the govt sector.The day it is done..the aspirations for govt jobs will ebb soon.Else it will increase chahe jitta bhi chilla lo.
This is exactly what I wanted to say! Preparing for government jobs in droves is a symptom not a disease in itself. Address the causes and the symptoms go away.
Exactly that's why you will see a lot of people from IIM, IITs who are earning lakhs per month in corporate sector are leaving jobs and becoming IAS. Because living in the concrete jungle of metro cities..facing traffic for hours, pollution, crowd lot of people don't like it. Even if u earn a lot of money even in crores you'll have to sit for hours in traffic and inhale the polluted air. But when u become an IAS you'll get a big house away from the crowded area, the peace, the garden around your house, the organic veggies of kitchen garden, the gym.in the house and much.more which you can't buy in the cities even after earning a lot of money. That's also one of the reason of choosing this job.
Well......every job has its own problems.....I am surprised why literally nobody talks about problems in govt jobs......low salary, too much focus on protocols, messy and unkempt offices, frustrating delays, political pressure, legal issues, frequent transfers, restriction on freedom of speech, and of course, the most important, luxury trap. We need to see things the way they are.
Indian government also needs to make the laws more in favour of entrepreneurship.
And the leader of this cult is "divyakirti the great " and his other gang members
Yep he made billion through this business 😂😂😂
This cult thinks everyone that is not part of this cult is inferior and dumb.
@@juniorstrange forget divyakirti even his gang memebers who appear with him in interview pannel have made a lot of quick money // what a dirty way to earn money by fooling innocent rural children and sucking them dry //disgusting
Correct✅
DivyaKirti himself says in his speeches to go create startups.
Guys please don't take shows like Aspirants, Kota Factory and Half-CA too seriously. VC Firm Tiger Global owns a stake in TVF as well as in Unacademy (might have been clear form the heavy promotion of Unacademy in TVF shows but still).
Sanyal is making a valid point, government jobs will continue to decrease. However, there needs to be someone holding government to their end of the bargain. Bring in the Kothari Commission reforms, 6% of GDP for education, 3% for R&D. No government except the Atal government has gotten close. If done we will hit double digit growth numbers in GDP in the coming years.
PM Modi has a clear mandate (hopefully even in 2024) I do want India to spend at least 4% of its GDP on education and 1.5% on R&D in the coming year or two. Else we will leave our youth no choice.
Do me a favour. DON'T TRUST ANY MEDIA. BE IT LEFT, RIGHT OR CENTRE.
I absolutely agree...There are poor people everywhere in the country only certain regions poor people have this craze of UPSC. This is the risk averse nature is a major factor poverty of aspirations. If you take a risk and it doesn't work out that does not end of life. Can you really judge a person entire life potential based on an exam with 4 to 6 attempts? Most people who scored more than me on these test are behind in their career than me.
It is not poverty of aspiration. It is pure unadulterated greed for an easy salaried life without accountability. In a private enterprise there's serious accountability. In central government positions you could literally sit on your arse, do nothing and you get to keep your job. It is that simple.
Private jobs are nothing but pure example of existing license raj in the economy.
Accountability my foot. By which transparent process they hire people?
Totally based on networking and university tags are the criteria for recruitment.
These management colleges are nothing but a hiring agencies. Their MBA course adds zero value.
Even the IITS fall in that category. No innovation and only pushing hope to get corporate slavery in those few IT mafias.
From recruitment such favouritism and efficiency starts and continues thereafter.
In UPSC Civils one needs to appear for an exam which requires in depth knowledge of multiple subjects.
Kabhi niklega nehi UPSC to chalo gyan pel ke apna frustration nikal te hai.
Such obnoxious jealousy is reflecting from you and people like sanjeev sanyal
@@ABIRSARKAR-vl6cm Congratulations for using a lot of words without making any valid points. License raj? License Raj was a central government institution. Private companies required to pay hefty bribes to the License Raj just to get their businesses starting. Do you even know what License Raj is that you without any thought just equated it with private enterprise? The word license itself means it is a permission granted by the government. UPSC aspirants my foot. All you lazy dumbfks just want to earn a lot of money and social status without actually contributing to the economy. BSNL is a prime example. Running in lakhs of crores of losses and still using public tax money to keep afloat.
Gyan pelne ke liye gyan ka hona bahut zaroori hai be bhadwe. Aise hi Jo mann mein aayi tatti ko apne ch¿tiye jaisi muh se nhi nikalte
Why private company go to only IIT IIM and some tier one college, then they should go to tier 3 college to recruit. Donot tell govt employee sit idle and earn money this is totally misconcept now a days. What about corporate toxic culture, working like a slave for 15 16 hours a days. For extreme workaholics Japanese are suffering a lot even they donot have family time and produce baby. Japanese Govt is requesting common public. Capitalist sees their own benefits.
Shut up private sector peasant
No after UPSC you got to work but power and bribe coming with it is the attraction m

Bro don't be so silly, you can teach in Coaching, can open your own youtube channel, can be a journalist, Can work in NGOs etc by pursuing such courses and more than anything you are a civilized responsible citizen of this nation who knows everything going around world, political leaders can't fool you.. For me these words of Sanjeev sanyal is nothing more than propaganda. Because they want fewer aspirants, hence less aware people, they can hire lateral entry candidates of their own choice and nepotism in bureocracy as well. But yes all those engineers and IIM passed out candidate or doctors they don't need to come in this field rather they need to focus in their respective field and make their career high.

Great, please bring more such people with unique perspective.
Same thing was happening with CA exams few years back, I don't know what is status of it now. But I had seen a lot of students attempting CPT (CA entrance) exams. And felt the same situation Mr. Sanyal has spoken about with context to UPSC, but, on smaller scale. Yes, CA is course not job exam but still, students spent youthful energy on attempting CA exams otherwise which could have been different.
Dreams of UPSC reflect failure of Government in providing choices for better employment, don't deflect blame.
govt will NOT provide jobs. We are no longer socialist. Upsc aspirant hokar bhi yeh samajh nhi hai to kaahe ke aspirant ho
failure of Government for 75+ years
Yess, you are right
Blame will take us nowhere. It's not only the Government's duty to provide jobs. People are wasting their time and expecting that the Government should get them jobs, it's not going to happen.
Bhai govt ne LPG reforms, indirect taxes easing, direct tax rate decrease boht kia h abhi to start ups ko micro finance bhi milta hai ab ham hi govt job se obsession chor nhi rhe ,
I think, this craze for UPSC in particular and govt. exams in general will not go, unless lot of other things are fixed. For eg, , limited opportunities in private sector and entrepreneurship(long list of requirements, difficulty in enforcing contracts, etc), especially in states with no private, toxic corporate culture, Indian parents mindset regarding govt. jobs:- a govt. peon is more respected than an Apple store owner. What compounds this problem is rotten Indian education system, which has led to rise of expensive coaching classes.
Perfect answer bro
Abhi desh ke 70 percent logo ka paisa desh ke 30 percent logo ke pass hai, aur private nokri is a hell bro, life nhi hai waha, khud ka business thk hai par capital nhi hai
Bahut gali Dene ka man karta hai diya bhi hai neonshow Wale channel me, roj Naya Naya theory ata hai, poverty of aspirations mera ghanta
And strong labour law and implementation
Sanyal is trying to exactly break down this mindset of overglorification of govt jobs.
UPSC and SSC should be dissolved and a new method of recruitment should be brought which gives more credit to work ethics and performance rather than rote learning. Something similar to the Agnipath scheme should be implemented, which would allow a much larger set of candidates to start working in government services at lower levels and deserving candidates who perform well in 4 years of service should be promoted and the rest should be given a work experience certificate and a lum sum capital like it is given to Agniveers. The scheme can be called 'Kartavya Path' synonyms to the Kartavya Path in New Delhi.
Yep I agree but if it is done then officers will ask for bribe 😂😂😂
It will lead to a system like cpc in china, and for selection on senior post you need money and boot service.
Such a great suggestion from you😢
@@purushotamtiwari535 Tiwari Ji, of course corruption has to be checked while making such a scheme, I am just putting forth an idea, not specifying a detailed plan which takes into consideration all such possibilities and takes corrective measures to keep such behaviour in check. Also, I haven't heard of such problems in the corresponding Agnipath scheme. Rather, assessment of behaviour during the early tenure can be one of the foundational causes for retention and promotion of 'Kartavya Veers'.
@@juniorstrangeThose who ask for bribes should not be retained by the selection authority.
Ha ED the example of kartvya path😂
That's completely true.. Imagine what can be created out of the energies and efforts that are put behind the years and years of preparation ....a reality check to all the aspirants ...
Very good interview and Mr. Sanyal makes absolutely fine points. He makes total sense. Some people are taking it emotionally to their own detriment.
I fully agree with Dr Sanyal. We loose many bright young minds to this who could otherwise be a star in some other field.
Meaning of Antel - bengali term referring to a person who is proficient in academic practice but lacks practical knowledge,or someone who pretends to be intelligent.
antel means elitist
It reflects absolute power involved in these posts and hunger for this power...
Mr. Sanyal is completely on the point. British Raj created bureaucracy to rule over a huge native mass. Sooner this Raj legacy is discontinued better it is for the Indian society and economy. I am commenting this after watching from very close quarter for over three decades as to how civil servants work . They have created a false image about them to be omniscient and can decide or frame policies on any matter. Most of them have bloated ego and are members of a strong network. They even grab plum jobs after retirement. In 21st century, all policy making issues be it economic, industrial, labour, education or strategic etc. are highly technical and cannot be simply handled by generalists, but by the specialists. I find many of the recent batch recruits are quite mediocre and they like to create wealth for themselves from day one. Corruption is very high specially in state bureaucracy as there are hardly any watch dogs. We need a very professional bureaucracy like that in Singapore, not power grabbers we see in India.
Mr Hon'able Advisor , Kindly tell the options available in India for Middle class Students?
Same problem with CA course
Give the youth better alternatives like better colleges and better schools. Fill them with multiple dreams.
ICS then and UPSC now! (Vast difference is there! Don't show your idiocacy by writing such comments!)
@Akshay_Dwivedi It is idiocracy. Thank you for the word, man!
@@Ran_Sim_Pro thank you correcting but hope you have heard this: "typo"
Great Insight by Sanjeev Sir...
This is a very good point. I agree 👍🏾
The very phrase 'poverty of aspirations ' does sound relevant where one is surrounded with multitude of opportunities however in India , opportunities are at the abyssmal level. Resultantly, aspirations is distant term . So this best describe the situation as' poverty of opportunities' not 'poverty of aspirations'.mr. Sanyal must be rectified himself
sorry you have multitude of opportunities... we have a trade deal 100s of nations.. there are 1 lakh indians working in usa chips research and design field.. i think so you are incompetent to not find opportunities.. and i just wrote 1 lakh in high end software design.. there are crores working in different field outside not just in india.. bro come out of your comfort zone and do some research.. and btw this are all trade deal.. we give dis west jokers low end business and in exchange we go there and give our productivity which benefits them and even india.. so do some research on what you write.. stop watching dhruv rathee for god sake
In certain regions, it is a main choice.
People are becoming youtubers in other regions. Everybody has access to TH-cam, they are writing comments. Why can't they make a career out of it. With brand endorsements, easily people earn in crores
@@beyourself7280😂 bro see the demand and supply😂 youtubers dont earn much and its not sustainable.. even the famous youtuber who started first like mumbiker nikhil have become some kind of irrelevant.. not so say he has banked good money in the initial years itself.. but then he was the first to start.. in future the charm will come down coz he already aced that territory.. if you are coming with something new altogether then its a different thing.. there should be some differentiation.. many youtuber has 1m followers but dont get good sponsors coz the 1m is kind of nothing now but lemme tell you it takes good number of months or years to make 1m followers.. so make your conscious choice

Poverty of Aspiration is because of Politics killing it.
He is absolutely right. I gave 2 attempts and now i won't waste any more of my time on this exam .
Now I feel peace , started going out, meeting new people . From 2021 to 23 I just locked myself in a small room and used to study for upsc but now I have decided enough is enough. My friend gave 5 attempts still she couldn't clear all stages and now she is mentally and physically so exhausted that she can't even focus on anything. She was also the one who advised me not to waste my precious time and 20s on this exam. Finally I am happy and now life is on right track 🙂
Very very well said, it's an eye opener.
Quit studying and let's sell tea on the roadside.... everyone who got a big position suggesting others what u r doing,are meaningless......I think government jobs are a one stop solution for lower middle class families,... Because they don't have enough money to start a business if they start then have to wait their whole life to succeed the business if everything going good.So listen to inner conscience..
Its not about UPSC... but applicable for govt related jobs. One of my friends has trying to pursue govt jobs for 8 years without any success. He called and cried now to wasting his entire life and became helpless. I tried so much for him to get a corporate job but the gap and lack of technical n communication skills put him aside :(
One thing life has taught me especially during COVID is savings, buffers, surplus and most important incomes matter. We all know what happened to private workers... labor is losing and capital has won.
Absolutely correct...
Its not about poverty of Aspirations, rather people of certain Areas & their local situation every thing based on power equation....
becoming convoyee Neta ji and Mafia Don ji are more difficult , need more hardwork that too very uncertain, so the safest way to get that level of power , only UPSC can deliver...our society is more respectfully or careful about such people, even with in relatives , compared to a high earning IT or Pharma professionals .
Power of Entrepreneurship!!
So true. There is a wide spread if poverty of aspiration in our country and shortage of icones
Most of the coaching institute teachers have themselves failed the exam. But coming to the point. We need good industries in the UP for such thing to chnage
The reality is that IAS lobby is too strong. That is only reason for this cult. Govt should break down this lobby to make India move ahead.
Kaise..pls enlighten
@@sandeepkatroliya3923by outsourcing parts of administration to private companies and contractors
@@lantherpagdiThat would never happen. Remember how they all reacted with lateral entry?
Thank you 🎉
Always so refreshing to listen to this guy!
Chalo finally someone is speaking about it
When political inequality is increasing a lot...other party's have less scope to progress in today's India,, then getting into civil services is only option for people to become part of power.
U suggest GOI to allow political space equally, maintain humbleness by one who is in power. then surely people will happy to find more options.
Awesome view.highly appreciate.
Thankyou for taking this topic
He himself not able to clear in 3 attempt, ask him why he has given those attempts.
Lol he never gave attempts he went for higher studies and gained expertise, instead of upsc aspirants orgasming by believing they are the best 'generalists'
I love that he used the term AAANTEL😀
Unfortunately I couldn't understand😂😂

Exactly...
He is absolutely right.... We as a nation need to ponder over this...
Not ponder….STRAIGHTAWAY reject it simple and try for newer type of IT and Manufacturing jobs
I totally agree with point of context!
Ab koi prepare hi nahi karega.......mai akele jaunga exam dene aur sidha IAS 😂😂😂😂😂
AGREED 💯
Right suggestions sir thank you
Quite agree what sir addressed here, offcourse there should be aspirations for UPSC but never loose your strength in something where you failed or passes because there are other beautiful professions around, which are more popular,loved & valued.
Craze is high in Bihar & UP because these states have the lowest industrialization rate and so youth of these states seldom get a job in their own states and not much aware about the perks of private jobs
UPSC or any other pursuit is not inherently a waste of time. The value lies in how we approach it.
Indeed it is, they are wasting their prime years without generating wealth when they are capable to do so.
Ultimately it hampers the growth of country
Also to stop this many attempts the UPSC needs to reform its syllabus and exam pattern so that it becomes possible for serious candidates to crack the exam in 1 or 2 attempts...........rather than utilising 1 or 2 attempts just to get familiar with exam and then crack in 3rd and 4th attempts....thus almost burning 4 to 5 years of their youthful energy......even cracking a scientist exam (ISRO and DRDO) takes 1 year of serious prep and thats all.
I definitely agree, Sir.
Where else can youth take an exam on abstract subjects like sociology , gender studies, , political science, geography , Romance languages etc..and still clear a path to lifetime of power, pelf and aish? It’s not like JEE or JEE advanced …a path to guaranteed income, guaranteed pension, guarantee post retirement employment and unlimited opportunities for graft ….and you say Indian youth are stupid ?😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rpf Dede Rr mat kar idhar
More than 2 attempts is a waste.
Yoou don't have the slightest idea about the UPSCcse
Fools like you don't have even idea about the exam. Do you even know the syllabus of upsc?? This exam is not objective. Better shut up if you don't know
Pehle syllabus dekho ...fir toughness dekho....fir khud 2 attempt main clear kro tab Gyan pelo
Tere jaise se ssc ka mts na nikle. Tere bap ka aukat hai 2 attempt me upsc nikalne ka
@@sandeepkatroliya3923 Syllabus and difficult are inconsequential. 2 attempts doesn’t imply 2 year. U don’t look smart enough to understand this!
If someone is interested in UPSC start preparing from 3rd or 4th yr of graduation.
And yes I have seen UPSC syllabus and I have seen people crack it in their 1st attempt. So don’t preach ur slacking attitude as an excuse to spoil lives of many young. Not everyone can crack UPSC. Some people are born dumb, sorry to be blunt.
Insightful thoughts . Can’t be ignored on political grounds.
Eye opening, harsh reality.
Pl do hindi episode on this topic.
Now new trend in maharashtra, many brilliant students switch to Arts instead of science, on assumptions that they will get more time to study UPSC & MPSC.
Curb corruption and under the table favours completely. Then see, aspirants number will automatically come down to 20-30% of what we see today.
Scientist and SDM starts at the same salary structure, infact salaries of all Group A officers is the same. Power is more with IAS but that should be 'power to enable' not 'power to disable'. It is this 'power to disable' that is cashed by many and thus the job is lucrative. No one wants to agree this on public forums openly but the real honey is the 'other than salary' part which people crave for. 'Power' which they always crave is the power to disable, coerce and armtwist. Otherwise, if taken in a positive light that Power = Massive Responsibility and a lot of stress, and only someone who has a knack for administration will find it exciting. All others are in it just for the 'other than salary' part.
It is the colonial mindset of Indians. I think Nikil Kamath said this " Even though a call center executive may make 1lakh a month, a Doctor making 25k gets more respect"
That's legal income just think of malai 😂😂😂 12%
Doctors earns in crores through private practice don't be lame
@@sandeepkatroliya3923 🤣🤣🤣 in reality you get 1lakh per month if you do speciality then get 3 lakh per month it take 8 years + experience of 10 years to earn crore
By recommending unnecessary surgeries, prescribing medicines where they get commission, definately doctors earn more. It's a business
My father is ex ias officer 1989 batch.. he told me to focus on private sector rather than government because in their times students didn’t have enough options and private sector didn’t pay that good as compared to present situation😊
Totally agree with Sanjeev sir .
Aspiration to be an "antel" or Union leader 😅😅😅 and perfect realization.
UPSC is definitely a waste of time for many students who do not succeed even after 2-3 attempts and coaching institutions focused on UPSC can make a hell lot more money coaching entrepreneurship if they work on a mixed fees + profit sharing model with student startups... If you are a coaching institution owner or teacher, you should seriously consider opening an entrepreneurship course as well, at least for students who do not clear UPSC in 2 attempts.
I couldn't agree more!
Very important topic!
U have to give some safety nets. Even risk takers take calculated risks; not like if this doesn't work, I'll be homeless n poor n maybe starve to death, definitely worth it. Innovation doesn't happen in a vacuum. Look at the level of your universities. Unless we can provide basic amenities to at least 70-80% of our population, the patents aren't going to start flowing in.
This is one such platform...where u can become king...a royal life..for middle class ...u cannot fight election without money nd muscle power nd social background...for a poor guy ...only platform...
That poverty of aspirations is common sense if you see the facilities of an IAS officers. But this video will help reduce competition so Thanks a lot🙏
I totally concurred with him. Reformation in core areas like education, bureaucracy, police and judiciary could be a way forward but we lack political will, thats the ugly truth.
If everyone starts working for the money, who will work for the nation. Will Mr. Sanyal give the same advice to the people aspiring to join the army?
Civil services is not just a career option. Like the army, they are a way to serve the nation, which mr. Sanyal is doing himself as the economic advisor.
Masst joke maara. Everyone knows why people become IAS IPS. It's not love for nation definitely
One thing to observe: only ias/ips and coaching wallas got triggered by Shri Sanjeev Sanyal Ji's statement. And Sanyal is extremely talented, he wrote 3 well researched books and frequently writes interesting articles and research papers. Finding bureaucrats as talented as him is very difficult. Thus govt was FORCED to induct him using lateral entry. And jinka promotion nhi hua wo ias ro rhe hain.
Just wanted to add one thing , lateral entry at JS post is also due to very less numbers of vacancies for IAS during Congress and this creates shortage of ias officers at Central level ....after 2014 gov increased ias vacancies...So don't hype lateral entry as talent driven scheme...even gov had clarified in the past that it was to address shortage of officers.....(Even print has published article on this)
His thought is absolutely correct
Totally agree
This is the problem with Oxford mades who never understand the real Indian situation.. if your aspirations are to be high give equal and quality education then u may ask for it..Come out of your car and took at the people
You are in the cult .
Cult follower, he graduated from a private college in WB, his father was an IAS, still he didn't go for it and chose his own path to become global head of Deutsche Bank before govt asked for his service. His son is a singer and another, a MMA fighter, they didn't chose Upsc
Bahut achcha sawal uthaya Hai sanyal Sahab ne.
Mere dadaji kahate the ki ICS co British period mein iron gate kahate the. Yah British colony ko jalane ke liye banaa tha. IAS iska hi badnuma sakal hai. Isko badla Jana chahie. Bharat ke sabse bade corrupt afsaron mein IAS hi hai
What about politicians
Sukr hai dada ji nehi raha😂
He is absolutely right, why don't GIC do not setup center in Up, bihar or Rajasthan because everyone is running for government job
Absolutely right issue has been raised by Mr. Sanyaal
