During her break, her family members suggested her to prepare for civil service examinations. In her first two attempts, she failed to clear the exam. She then prepared for the loopholes in her preparations, and on the third attempt, she cleared the UPSC exam in 2022 with 992 marks (827 in the written exam and 165 in the personal interview). She picked Anthropology as her optional subject in the exam.
Preparation Strategy
Aashna dedicated herself tirelessly, studying for 12 to 14 hours every day, even while pursuing her master’s degree.
