Cracking the UPSC Civil Services Exam (CSE) and becoming an IAS/IPS/IFS officer is a dream that every aspirant harbors, but very few students can achieve it. Those who clear all the phases of the UPSC exam become role models for other aspirants. One such person is IPS Aditya Srivastava, who secured an impressive All India Rank (AIR) 1 in UPSC CSE 2023. His story is also an inspiration for other aspirants, as it highlights the value of hard work and dedication. Aditya has emerged as a beacon of inspiration for others due to his remarkable academic accomplishments and impressive UPSC exam results. Let’s learn more about his story.
Aditya hails from Uttar Pradesh’s capital city, Lucknow. He completed his schooling at CMS Lucknow’s Aliganj branch with impressive marks in Class 12. He was the topper in Class 12 with an impressive score of 95 percent. He cleared one of the toughest exams JEE Advanced, and was admitted to IIT Kanpur in 2014. There he pursued a combined B.Tech and M.Tech degree.
After completing his studies, Aditya worked for Goldman Sachs for 15 months and then decided to quit the job and pursue Civil Service Exam.
After a while, he landed an attractive job in Bengaluru that offered an annual wage of Rs 40 lakh. Despite this, he decided to leave this job after a year and a half to chase his dream of serving in the government. His complete dedication to his goal led him to resign, preferring to focus entirely on his UPSC examination preparations. Indeed, his determination paid off; on his third try, Aditya sailed through with the 136th rank, securing himself a spot in the IPS.
