UPSC qualified despite criticism.
Aditya’s childhood was spent in mischief, as he was the youngest and most loved one in his family.

Despite this, Aditya performed really well in his exams. After finishing school, Aditya decided that he wanted to do engineering. For this, his father got Aditya admitted to LPU. But little did Aditya know that something would happen in college due to which he would learn a lesson for the rest of his life.
Aditya set out to become an IAS when his girlfriend cheated on him in college.
We have seen in films that when a boyfriend gets cheated on by his girlfriend, he becomes adamant about becoming an IAS. But this incident has actually happened here.

Self-doubt started after failures.
Aditya Pandey had made up his mind during his college days that he wanted to do civil service. For this, he left his job and came home in 2020. At this time, there was a lockdown-like situation.

But he did not achieve success even in the prelims. Now Aditya had to face disappointment again. But Aditya’s father supported him a lot during such difficult times. So he started preparing for his second attempt.
In 2021, Aditya made his second attempt. But even in this attempt, he did not clear prelims. Now the lockdown-like situation is also over. Everyone had gone to work from the office. In such a situation, he heard taunts from his neighbor that the boy does not do anything. Just remains lying in the house. All these things hurt Aditya’s morale. Self-doubt also started within Aditya. But Aditya had missed the preliminary exams by only 2.5 marks; this gave him motivation, and he started preparing again.
Aditya started working on his shortcomings.
Aditya had to face success twice in a row. Due to this, he started having self-doubt. But Aditya had to move ahead and achieve victory. To prepare for the third attempt, Aditya sought the help of a mentor. This made him aware of his shortcomings, so he could work on them better. Now he started working very hard along with his mentor and started overcoming his shortcomings. With this, he cleared prelims in 2022. Now came the turn of Mains, and Aditya also cleared it with very good marks because he had been preparing for Mains from the initial days.
But when the time came for the interview, people started demotivating him, saying that it was not possible for him to crack Mains. It is very difficult for you. But he was determined that he would crack his interview very well, and this is what happened. Aditya Pandey cracked his interview with 195 marks.
