Answer 1

Some take it up by choice, some by passion, some are coerced into it, while some do it merely to try their luck. No matter what way one takes the great plunge, everyone has to go through the rigours of the coveted Civil Services Examination.

Being an IAS aspirant also brings one on the target list of matrimonial agents, many of them keeping a keen eye on the aspirant's journey through all the three stages of the Civil Services examination

After a lot of slogging, when the aspirant clears the first stage (prelims) in the very first attempt, the expectations sky-rocket, putting him under tremendous pressure.

Those who manage to crack all the three stages of the exam and end up with top ranks become instant celebrities
