This was my third attempt, and I am grateful that my hard work finally paid off,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Currently working as a veterinary surgeon and posted in the Pir Panchal region, Tawseef said balancing a demanding job with UPSC preparation was not easy but became manageable because he had already built a strong academic foundation earlier.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously, it is difficult to manage a job and prepare for UPSC at the same time. However, since I had already started preparing during my college days, most of the basic syllabus was covered before I joined the job. During my service, I mainly focused on revision, which made things comparatively easier than starting preparation from scratch,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized that determination and consistency are key factors for success in competitive examinations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to tell aspiring candidates that no examination is impossible to crack. If you genuinely want to succeed and are ready to put in consistent efforts, then success will eventually come. Hard work, patience and continuity are the most important factors,\u201d Tawseef said.<\/p>\n<p>Encouraging young people from Kashmir to aim high, he said the youth in the region possess immense potential but often hesitate due to the perceived difficulty of competitive examinations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKashmiri youth are very talented, but sometimes they feel intimidated just by hearing the name of such examinations. That mindset needs to change. With dedication, perseverance and consistency, anyone can achieve their goals,\u201d he said, adding that if he could manage to succeed despite professional responsibilities, others could also do the same.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Tawseef\u2019s father, Mohammad Ishaq Ganaie, expressed immense pride and happiness over his son\u2019s achievement.<\/p>\n<p>He said Tawseef began his education at Hajad Public School Awantipora and later continued his studies at Government Higher Secondary School Noorpora Awantipora.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe initially appeared for the NEET examination but could not qualify. Later, he pursued Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BVSc) and gradually started preparing for prestigious competitive examinations like UPSC,\u201d his father said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that Tawseef\u2019s success has brought immense joy not only to the family but also to the entire locality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a festive atmosphere at our home today. Relatives, friends and neighbors are visiting us to congratulate Tawseef. The entire area is extremely happy and proud of his achievement,\u201d he said.
