Meet man who went to abroad for higher studies, left a high-paying job to prepare for the UPSC exam, cracked it 4 times, became an IPS officer, now is posted at…​


IPS Amrit Jain hails from Bhilwara, Rajasthan. He earned his B.Tech in Electrical Engineering from NIT Warangal and pursued higher studies at Czech Technical University. Later, he started working for a private company in Hyderabad. Soon, he developed the desire to appear for the UPSC Civil Services Examination.

Amrit Jain, hailing from a modest background, took the UPSC examination for the first time in 2016 without any preparation. Reflecting on it, he admits he was overly confident, thinking that only multiple-choice questions would be asked. Naturally, this approach resulted in failure. Determined to succeed, he came fully prepared for the exam in 2017, but narrowly missed passing the prelims by just one mark.

In several media interviews, Amrit has mentioned that he did not take any coaching for UPSC preparation. After failing the prelims by just one mark, he decided to change his strategy. He began consulting multiple sources for the static portion, which was unusual but worked for him. Additionally, he took 140 mock tests within a time limit of 1 to 1.5 hours.

Amit strongly advocates for taking plenty of mock tests. He believes that giving numerous mock tests greatly helped him during the actual exam. As a result, he read the questions at least three times during the exam and remained calm and composed. This helped him perform well in the exam. Amit had chosen political science as his optional subject for the UPSC.

He attempted the UPSC exams in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021. In 2018, he secured a spot on the reserve list and was selected for the Indian Defence Accounts Service. In the following years, he achieved ranks of 321, 96, and 179 in 2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively. Although he cleared the UPSC exam four times, he fell short of his dream of becoming an IAS officer. However, he doesn’t regret it, acknowledging that not everyone achieves the coveted IAS position, despite striving for it during UPSC preparation.

Amrit Jain UPSC Marks

Amrit Jain cleared the Civil Services (Main) Examination, 2019 with AIR 321. Speaking of his UPSC marks, he scored 802 in the written examination, 165 in the personality test, and 967 overall. Later, Jain successfully cleared the Civil Services (Main) Examination, 2020 with AIR 96. Speaking of his UPSC marks, he scored 801 in the written examination, 184 in the personality test, and 985 overall.

Once again, in 2021, Jain attempted and cracked the Civil Services (Main) Examination, 2021 with AIR 179. Speaking of his UPSC marks, he scored 791 in the written examination, 178 in the personality test, and 969 overall. At present, he is serving as an ASP in Aligarh district, Uttar Pradesh.
