Saumya Pandey had the All India 4th rank in the Civil Services Examination
People work very hard to become an IAS officer, but some people still don’t believe in themselves. In such a situation, when success is achieved, it comes as a sweet surprise. Something similar happened to Prayagraj-born IAS officer Saumya Pandey. A video of Saumya is going viral on social media telling that when UPSC’s final result came out, she started seeing her name at the bottom of the list. When she didn’t see the name for a long time, she became discouraged. But when she checked the list from above, her happiness knew no bounds. She not only passed the UPSC Civil Services Examination, but surpassed it. She had the All India 4th rank in the Civil Services Examination.
IAS Saumya Pandey belongs to the 2016 batch. She cracked UPSC in her very first attempt. Talking about Soumya’s academic record, she had 98 percent marks in grade 10 and 97.8 percent in grade 12. In addition, she was also a gold medalist in engineering college.
IAS Soumya Pandey says she took the exam in 2016. The result came in 2017. She had downloaded the PDF file of the UPSC Civil Services Exam Result but couldn’t muster up the courage to see the names. That’s why her mother said you have to see the name from below. When the name was not shown, she told her mother that she will prepare better in the next attempt and will definitely clear it. But her mother asked her to check the names to see who was on top. My mother and I couldn’t believe it when my name appeared among the toppers. She checked the result with her roll number and realized it was really hers.
IAS Saumya Pandey is currently serving in Uttar Pradesh. Saumya says preparing for prelims should start with the basics. For this there is no better option than NCERT books.
In addition to studies, Soumya is also very interested in activities such as sports and dance. She has also learned classical dance and is also a basketball player. In addition, she is also an NCC B and C certificate holder.
