About Dr Mayur Hazarika:
Dr. Mayur Hazarika is from Tezpur, Assam. Before obtaining his MBBS at Gauhati Medical College in Guwahati, he did his early education at Don Bosco School in Tezpur and his higher secondary education at Ramanujan Junior College in Nagaon district.
26 year old Dr. Hazarika brings honour to the state by clearing the exam in his first attempt and securing the top spot in the 2022 UPSC CSE exam.
"UPSC was always in the back of my mind," he says, "But I was never sure and committed to it. Although, I grew serious about it at some point throughout my MBBS."
Dr Hazarika never stopped working and began preparing for the UPSC in 2021. He studied for 4-5 hours a day while working as a doctor at Nagaon Government Hospital. After passing the preliminary exams, Hazarika chose to discontinue his medical service in May 2022 and devote his full attention to his Mains preparation, putting in 9-10 hours every day.
In addition to being a passionate football fan, Dr Hazarika enjoys playing football in his spare time to clear his head and feel refreshed.
Dr Hazarika and his family currently reside in Tezpur city. He also excelled in the Higher Secondary (HS) and High School (HSCL) exams. After clearing UPSC CSE, his first choice is Indian Foreign Services (IFS).
In terms of hurdles, Dr Hazarika experienced stress while managing his work and studies, but he feels that there is no point in complaining about your challenges; rather, find a solution to them.
Dr Hazarika chose Anthropology as his optional subject because he comes from a medical background.
"The UPSC is a challenge in and of itself, but anyone preparing for it should focus on smart work rather than hard work. An aspirant should first try to determine what should be focused on and what should be ignored," said Dr Hazarika.
Congratulating Dr Mayur Hazarika for his outstanding performance, Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, tweeted, “By securing 5th All India Rank you have made us all so very proud. Your achievement is sterling and will inspire our youth to aspire for the best. Well done, and my blessings.”
