Varjeet Walia is a resident of Jalandhar, Punjab. He always wanted to be an IAS officer. His father was the editor of Punjabi Jagran.
Varjeet completed his BTech from IIT Delhi in Chemical Engineering.
He decided to go against the general norms by opting for Civil Services rather than a normal job after BTech.
He did not join any coaching classes to qualify for UPSC. He followed the syllabus to the word and read all the NCERTs.
In his first and second attempts, Varjeet Walia did not qualify for the exam due to the bad optional choice. However, in his third attempt, he just secured 577th rank to get IRTS.
He chose a different optional this time and got through as an IAS. Varjeet's story is truly an inspiration for those attempting the Civil Services exam this year. All the best!
