UPSC exams are one of the toughest exams in India and it is no small feat to crack it with numerous aspirants taking the exams each year. And, some people have tough spirits that they end up cracking every exam at every stage. Today we will talk about the inspiring success story of Ansar Shaikh whose remarkable journey serves as a testament to his unwavering dedication and resilience.
Ansar Shaikh became an example for millions when he cleared the UPSC CS exam and became an IAS officer at the young age of 21, overcoming several setbacks and blockages.
Ansar Shaikh comes from a very poor family. His father works as an autorickshaw driver, and the family struggled with significant financial challenges. These difficulties forced Ansar’s brother to drop out of school, while his two sisters were married off at a young age. At one point, due to their dire economic situation, Ansar’s father even went to his school intending to discontinue his education.
Recognizing Ansar Shaikh’s dedication, his teachers persuaded his father to let him continue his education. This decision proved to be a turning point in Ansar’s life.
Determined to crack the UPSC exam, Ansar underwent a year of coaching followed by three years of intense self-study. His hard work paid off when he cleared all phases of the UPSC examination on his first attempt, securing an impressive rank of 361 and earning the title of IAS officer.
At just 21 years old, Ansar not only realized his dream of becoming an IAS officer but also set a record as the youngest IAS officer in the country, inspiring countless aspirants.
Ansar’s journey is a remarkable testament to perseverance, dedication, and the power of believing in one’s dreams despite hardships. As per media reports, Shaikh is currently posted as ADM, Cooch Behar, West Bengal.
