Two ‘Ns’, newspaper and NCERT books, helped Shivakshi Dixit, 25, secure second rank in the Combined State/Upper Subordinate Services Examination-2020, popularly known as PCS-2020, in her very first attempt. Shivakshi wants to work for the uplift of women and economically weaker sections of the society. “For anyone who wants to crack PCS examination, newspaper and NCERT books are a must. Candidates find it difficult to memorize current affairs but if you are reading newspaper regularly, current affairs will be on your fingertips,” she said. “I did’nt enrol myself with any coaching institute. Internet was my coaching centre at the time of pandemic. For success, all one needs is to fix a target for oneself for covering a particular topic in a fixed time duration,” she added. Shivakshi studied at Spring Dale College, Indiranagar, till Class 10 and thereafter at La Martiniere Girls College. “My mother, Veena Dixit, is a teacher at Rani Laxmi Bai Memorial School and she is my biggest inspiration. I have learned to work hard and accept challenges in life from her. My father Krishna Kant Dixit succumbed to cancer two years back. My success is the result of his blessings,” she said.
