What does life look like if you don’t clear UPSC?
4 years ago, I missed the UPSC final list by 8 marks. My score in optional was among the highest in India, and my interview score of 204 was the second highest.
A few years down the line, I’m in Istanbul - discussing with one of India’s entry-level diplomats, whether it makes sense for him to leave the services and do an MBA.
India has changed: We aren’t a 20th-century socialist economy anymore. With the advent of liberalization - state control of power has shifted from generalist civil services to specialized well trained professionals.
The current Joint Secretary of Civil Aviation is an MBA from IIM A and was a partner at KPMG. Our Prime Minister’s OSD worked Pro Bono as an intern with him initially. And there are 100 others who are laterally hired and contributing immensely through their work.
Working for Society Narrative: If Satya Nadella, Sunder Pichai, or Byjus had cleared UPSC - they would be working as Deputy Secretary in the Ministry of Rural Development. The impact that they have created and the experiences that they have lived through their ventures is insurmountable to ones that could have been created while sitting in the office of DS in Krishi Bhawan.
Please do not draw a straight line - a lot of good stuff hasn’t been invented yet. It is extremely critical that good people become part of the government, but please note - civil services isn’t the only route in 21st Century Modern India.
