Study hard to crack civils, says 3rd ranker

Vijayawada: Study with determination and confidence to get good rank in Civil Services examination, said All India third ranker Ronanki Gopala Krishna. He was the chief guest at an awareness programme organised by 21st Century IAS Academy here on Wednesday. 

Speaking on the occasion, Gopala Krishna said only with hard work and determination one can achieve their goals. He said most of the people have a wrong notion that IAS was not for Telugu medium students and students who cannot afford to take IAS coaching were not eligible. 

He said that one should have a strong determination and ambition to become an IAS officer then one can be sure of becoming an IAS officer, he said.

He recalled that he had faced many struggles, and with the support of his parents, faculty and friends he could achieve his goal and secured all-India third rank, he added.
