Meet Bihar man who cracked UPSC in 1994, resigned as IAS officer after few years due to...

IAS Success Story: UPSC is one of the toughest exams to crack to become an Indian IAS officer. To pass the civil service exam, a person studies religiously for several hours. Each year, thousands of candidates seek to take the exam to become IAS, IFS, IPS, and IRS. Only a few number of them succeed in the most competitive exam. Today we will talk about Arun Kumar who left the IAS job to teach underprivileged UPSC aspirants.

Arun Kumar, an IAS official from the 1994 batch, abandoned his position and is now providing free coaching lessons to students who cannot afford to join other coaching programmes. No capable candidate, in Kumar's opinion, should miss out on a chance because of financial hardship. At the Ganges bank in Bihar, he offers UPSC hopefuls free coaching sessions.

Arun Kumar pursued St. Xavier's College in Ranchi to further studies and prepared for the UPSC IAS competitive exam all on his own and cracked the government recruitment job.

Inspired by his wife Ritu Jaiswal’s social work, Arun Jaiswal left his job to help students who couldn’t afford to attend expensive coaching classes. He decided to do these outdoor classes every morning in order to save the expense of infrastructure, according to The Better India.

When you consider how much effort and study is required to pass the exam, it is in fact unusual for an IAS officer to resign from his post. To save on infrastructure, Kumar, who prepared on his own for the UPSC exam, decided to hold open-air classes.
