She felt that her hard work falls little short in the previous years and her own the responsibility for her failure, but at the same time, she took it as a challenge and overcome all the difficulties.
She changed her strategy and cleared the IAS Prelims Exam.
She designed her strategy stressing the coverage and revision of the IAS Syllabus.
Her family especially her husband and father supported and motivated her by stating that “keep your focus on the future and do not regret about the past”.
They always motivated her by saying that you were always good in your studies and you can do it.
The paucity of time was the biggest challenge for her and she says that she could not complete her targets due to the lack of time.

For a very long time, she had not tasted the success in the IAS Prelims Exam and had no idea that whether her strategy for the IAS Main Exam will actually work or not. She believes that Marriage is not baggage of problems and with her supportive husband she proved it.
