ALLAHABAD: There was jubilation in A N Jha and S S L Hostels of Allahabad University when the result of Civil Services Examination-2014, conducted by Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), was declared on Saturday. Many of the hostellers cleared the coveted exam.

Manoj, who had failed to qualify PCS-2013, the results of which were declared by UP Public Service Commission recently, said, “Success becomes even more sweet, when it comes after a series of failures.Aspirants preparing for the exams should focus on strength and positive aspects during preparation and leave the rest to God.”

Similarly, Mohit Mishra, all-India ranker 687, credited his success to his father and friends. “I always believe in ‘perfecting’ in whatever I do and I advise the same to others. It is not that I have not faced failure but I took these failures as my strength,” said Mishra.
Vinod Kumar Yadav, (all-India rank 1015) believes that failures are the barriers and one needs to cross barriers to be successful. Nagesh Pandey was another aspirant selected from the city.
