Ziddi Vidyarthis for Public Service

The Value of Being on Time.

Today, I went to the Lucknow CSE Mains Examination Centre with a few Ziddi Vidyarthis who were writing mains this year.

While I was waiting outside till 9am after they had entered the centre, I saw a few students coming late to the centre one by one. They reached the centre by 8.40am to 8.45am.

And, it was disheartening to see today that 4 aspirants were not allowed to write their first paper (Essay) of the CSE Mains Exam 2024 because they were late by 10 minutes.

UPSC Rule: Enter the Examination Hall 30 minutes before (8.30am) the scheduled commencement of the Examination which is 9am.

The value of punctuality taught us in school becomes so much more important as we grow old.

Whenever you people have important work to do in life, make sure your time to reach there is half an hour before the designated time.

Dear Ziddi Vidyarthis,

Write the paper with all the calmness. You have already written many exams till now - 10th to Grad or PG. You have studied sincerely till now. There is nothing that you should fear.

Keep up the momentum till the exam gets over. Have Faith in your abilities.

Things to check:

1. Admit Card
2. Blue and Black Pen
3. ID - Aadhar or Driving license.
4. Basic Wrist watch (Non-smart)
5. Whitener (not required as such but incase...)
6. Reach there by 8.15am atleast. (15 minutes before reporting time)

All The Best for CSE Mains 2024
