The Union Public Service Commission’s Civil Service Exam (UPSC CSE) is widely regarded as one of the toughest exams in the country. Each year, thousands of hopefuls take the exam, but only a select few succeed. Those who pass the CSE and become IAS, IRS, IFS, and IPS officers contribute to the country in various capacities. There are numerous success stories of IAS officers that inspire aspirants to persevere. Today, we delve into the success story of IAS officer Tushar Singla, who cleared the UPSC on his second attempt.
Tushar completed his undergraduate studies in Electrical Engineering from IIT Delhi and pursued his postgraduate degree in Public Administration from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU). He made the decision to appear for the UPSC exam in 2013. During an interview, Tushar shared his preparation strategy for the exams. He mentioned that he prepared intermittently from May 2013 to November of the same year. Subsequently, from December 2013 to June 25, 2014, he took a break from his studies. “I returned to Noida on June 28, 2014, and resumed preparation for the November 2014 exam. The final five months were the most crucial for me,” he added.
On his second try, Tushar Singla secured an All India Rank of 86 in the UPSC exam. The IAS officer detailed his approach, mentioning that he answered 85 questions in Paper I and 78 in Paper II. He emphasized the significance of accurate responses in prelims, noting that there isn’t a specific number of questions one should attempt. Additionally, he highlighted that he tackled uncertain questions by eliminating unlikely options and then made calculated guesses to determine the most plausible answer among the remaining choices.
Tushar Singla, an IAS officer, tied the knot with IPS officer Navjot Simi from the 2017 batch in 2021.
Previously serving as the Sub-divisional Officer in Uluberia, IAS Tushar Singla has recently been assigned the additional responsibility of Chief General Manager at the Bihar Development Mission under the Cabinet Secretariat.
