- Health would be a major issue working for about 6-7 hours in the office and studying for 5-6 hours that may be exhausting for you.

- The exam pattern of all state service exam is the same as the pattern of UPSC only a few things does not match in the syllabus but half of the syllabus match with all state board pattern so this is the main advantage to a deputy collectors if they attempting this exam.
