    6 UPSC rank-holders who cleared CSE despite failures, other challenges
  • The UPSC Civil Services Examination (CSE) is one of the most challenging competitive exams.

    Cracking the exam is very difficult, and many candidates tend to give up on their Civil Services dream after a few attempts.

    However, some UPSC rank holders have cleared CSE despite repeated failures, physical challenges, and all odds against them.

    Here are such UPSC rank holders to know about.

    Hailing from a poverty-stricken family in Vinavamangalam of Tamil Nadu's Vellore, he didn't give up despite failing six times. He pursued engineering and even worked as a waiter later.

    However, despite repeated failures, he didn't lose hope and cleared the CSE in 2008 with AIR-156 in his seventh attempt.

    Though she previously got selected to IAAS and IRS, she was determined to get into IAS and didn't give up until she got the selection.

    He also became the first ever visually-challenged District Collector in the country in 2014.

    Despite clearing CSE-2010, her candidature was canceled because of her spine-related disorder scoliosis; but she didn't give up and topped CSE-2014 with AIR-1.

    She's currently the Deputy Commissioner of Keshavpuram Zone (North MCD), Delhi. Singhal is also working to bring more differently-abled and transgender candidates into the Civil Services.
