Is it important to be from a reputed school and college to get selected in the Civil Services?
Can you tell me if there are any notable examples of people who were selected in the Civil Services but did not come from a reputed school or college?
There are numerous examples of people who were selected in the Civil Services despite coming from humble educational backgrounds. For example, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, who served as the President of India, came from a small town in Tamil Nadu and studied at a relatively unknown college before joining the Civil Services. Similarly, Sanjiv Chaturvedi, a noted whistleblower and officer in the Indian Forest Service, studied at a small college in Uttarakhand before being selected in the Civil Services. Would you like me to find more information on this topic?
