The results of the UPSC-CSE exam were announced on Tuesday. Those who made it to the list had a reason to celebrate, but many aspirants might have been disheartened after not clearing one of the toughest exams in India. In this regard, IAS officer Jatin Yadav shared a special message with those who were not able to clear the exam.
"For the ones who did not make it to the final list. I was at home in Gurgaon and got to know that the result would come today. I checked the UPSC website every 15 minutes. Finally, the link came, and I downloaded the pdf. My heart was pumping. I opened it, started scrolling, and the list started. I did not have the courage to do Ctrl + F. I scrolled through the entire list but could not find my name. Checked it again, and it's still the same. I did Ctrl + F, and it was confirmed that my name was not there in the holy pdf. Numb. Confused. Thought I had 33% chance to make it to the final list, why only me?" wrote IAS officer Jatin Yadav in his post.

He further added, "At that moment, I got a call from a close friend who checked the result by now. He didn't say anything and asked me to come to Karol Bagh. We sat, and he told me one thing - Whatever happens, happens for good only. We can only give our 100%. There are two ways ahead - one to be depressed and do nothing, and the other to immediately bounce back after a couple of days and do what all past selected candidates who faced rejections too. I chose the latter and immediately started working on my weak links. And also, had a good party that night."
