Anil made his first attempt at the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) in 2018 but could not clear the prelims
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) released the results of the Civil Services (CSE) Main examination 2020 on Friday evening (September 24). The exam was topped by Shubham Kumar from Bihar, the second place was bagged by Jagrati Awasthi and Ankita Jain, secured all-India third rank.
Apart from toppers, there are many who have overcome struggles to clear the exam. One such story is of Anil Basak who also hails from Kisanganj in Bihar. Back in 2014, when Anil was in IIT- Delhi, he would have never thought that he would be among the top 50 candidates who have cleared the UPSC 2020 exam.
Anil made his first attempt at the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) in 2018 but could not clear the prelims itself. In an interview with a leading digital platform, he said that he had put in a lot of energy between 2016 and 2018 for the exam but couldn’t clear the prelims. He further added, "Possibly because my strategy was wrong and I had become arrogant that if I can clear IIT-Delhi and I can get through any exam."
After failing the first attempt, Anil did not lose hope, instead, he gathered himself and attempted the UPSC exam for the second time where he got through secured 616th rank in IRS.
Even though he had cleared the exam in his second attempt, he wasn't fully satisfied and fortunately in his third attempt, Anil secured the 45th rank in the UPSC 2020 results and wishes to serve the Bihar cadre.
Anil came from a middle-class family with one elder brother and two younger brothers. While his elder brother is working as a professional, his younger brothers are still studying. His mother, Manju Devi is a homemaker and his father, Binod Basak did odd jobs to manage the expenses of the family. The family initially stayed at a rented and later on managed to a kutcha house which they later turned to a pucca house.
