Sai Ashrith Shakamuri, a BTech (Civil Engineering) graduate from BITS Pilani, was ranked 40th in the coveted UPSC civil services examination. This accomplishment has made his parents, Shakamuri Amar and Padmaja, quite proud. Sai Ashrith’s incredible journey began right here in Hanamkonda, where he was born in the Advocates colony.
If he failed to become a public servant, Sai Ashrith considered joining his father in the family construction firm, gaining inspiration from his father’s footsteps. However, spurred by a strong desire to serve his country, he set his sights on the civil services and proceeded on this difficult journey. Sai Ashrith outperformed all expectations by achieving a rank on his first attempt, contradicting the popular belief that passing the UPSC examination requires numerous attempts.
“I never expected to secure such a prestigious rank in my first attempt,” Sai Ashrith stated of his achievement. I anticipated it would take two or three attempts to accomplish this feat. Several circumstances, however, perfectly aligned, contributing to my accomplishment.”
Sai Ashrith sought advice from the CSB IAS Academy in Hyderabad to improve his preparation. His parents, overjoyed by their son’s incredible feat, ascribed his victory to his persistence and relentless efforts.
Sakhamuri, who finished 40th, claimed he had been studying for UPSC for a year and a half. Sakhamuri, who graduated in civil engineering from BITS Pilani and passed the exam in his first attempt, stated, “I have prioritised Telangana for my services, and I am confident that even if there is only one vacancy, I will be selected.” “I am overjoyed at the opportunity to serve my people.” Sakhamuri’s parents are in the construction business and are from Warangal.
On average, I studied for 6-8 hours per day. I even studied for 15-16 hours a day on some days, increasing my time as the exam approached.
I gave up seeing my pals, but my parents always provided financial assistance.
Civil service offers possibilities to give back to society. As a result, I was always interested in preparing for civil service.
The level of difficulty and competition is really high. Civils were cleared by a blind individual from Tamil Nadu. So many of these people inspired me. Balalatha Madam provided me with moral support.
Anthropology is one of my electives. Presentation is crucial, and optional subjects are also significant.
I’d like to follow a few of the ideals that Jayaprakash Narayan garu did. Following a single standard book and reading it over and over again greatly aided me.
