Former Miss India finalist Aishwarya Sheoran is among the crop of civil service aspirants who cracked the 2019 exam. Scoring an all-India rank of 93, she is thrilled to have secured her ultimate dream job of becoming an IAS officer.
The 23-year-old who considers modelling her hobby and civil service her “true passion”, said she didn’t join any coaching classes to prepare for the exam. Instead, she began reading current affairs from the Internet.
In an exclusive interview to ThePrint, Sheoran, a native of Rajasthan, said that gone were the days when civil servants “looked cliche”.
“Now, a civil servant (is someone) with a multi-faceted personality, who looks easily approachable, holds much more acceptance among people,” she explained.
“People now can relate to civil servants. Access to civil servants has also now become much easier,” said Sheoran, who was among the top 21 finalists in 2016 Miss India pageant.
A Delhi University graduate, Sheoran said she quit social media in 2018 to prepare for the exams.
The Miss India pageant’s official Instagram account shared a post Tuesday, lauding Sheoran for cracking the UPSC exam.
