Here is Amongla Aier, the first Naga lady to have joined the prestigious Indian Police Service (IPS). Kuknalim.com’s Yan Murry catches up with her, we excerpt the tips she gave to Civil service aspirtants below.

Read some of her response to an interview with Kuknalim.com:

Amongla’s Tips for Civil Service aspirants:

1. Conviction from within, remember it’s a service not just a job that you are going to enter into.
2. Extensive study for prelims and intensive and selective study for mains. Be up to date with current affairs, read a lot- remember knowledge is power.
3. Interview is equally important- knowledge, language skills, confidence and personality are very important. It’s good if you can lead the board along to your plus areas.
4. It’s good to have a critical point of view, rather an analytical one where u can not only criticize but offer solutions at the same time.
5. Patience is very important here. Because one is not always lucky to clear the exam at one go, it is frustrating and tolling so I would practically advise to have something to fall back upon after your attempts are over- else its very difficult to start all over again after wasting so many years.
6. There is no substitute for hard work, remember once you have done your part God well do the rest.
7. Believe in yourself – think if others have done it why can’t I?
