Cracking the UPSC Civil Service Examination (CSE) is not an easy task given the intense competition, a huge syllabus and of course multiple stages of processes to achieve the desired results. But despite the failures and setbacks, there are many bright minds in the UPSC CSE that successfully considered one of the most challenging exams in the country.

Such an example is IF Aishwarya Sheoran – Indian Foreign Forces (IFS) official and former Miss India contestant who gave up a promising styling career in pursuit of her dream of cracking civil service exams.

Who is Aishwarya Sheoran?

Born and raised in Rajasthan, Aishwarya Sheoran is the daughter of Colonel Ajay Kumar, commander of the NCC Battalion of the 9th Telangana. Since childhood, he has performed well in the academic world, earning an impressive 97.5% exam at Sanskrit schools in Delhi.

Aishwarya received her bachelor’s degree from the Shri Ram School of Business, Delhi University, which is one of the most famous institutions in the country. It was during her time that she developed a strong interest in modeling. She began her styling career by participating in a beauty pageant. She even went on to win the title of Clean and Clear Fresh Face in 2014.

Sheoran became the finalist of the Miss India pageant in 2016. Eventually, she decided to take the UPSC exam and was deeply influenced by her father’s military background.

In 2018, Aishwarya was elected as the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Indore. However, she chose not to register for a year of strict preparation for UPSC CSE. After relying on self-study, Aishwarya cleared the exam in her first attempt at Air 93 in 2019.

Currently, she serves as a senior official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MEA).
