Being successful in the civil service is not easy. People must work hard to get to this position. We are going to share with you the tale of one such top performer who, after acting and IIT, decided to pursue the UPSC route, ultimately achieving 185 rank in just two years of training. We are speaking of Abhay Daga, who this year ranked 185th on the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). 

Maharashtra's Wardha is the birthplace of Abhay Daga. Abhay has a background in medicine. Both of his parents are doctors. Abhay has completed his schooling in Hyderabad for his 11th and 12th grades. Abhay received good grades in the intermediate exam despite the fierce competition in Hyderabad. Following this, he enrolled in IIT Kharagpur.

Acting piqued Abhay's interest while he was an engineering student at IIT Kharagpur studying computer science. In actuality, IIT College hosts a lot of cultural events. Abhay began participating in plays and theatre as a result of this circumstance. In the meantime, Abhay had the opportunity to appear in the popular series "Siya Ke Ram" on Star Plus. In a situation like this, Abhay's dream of acting in Hindi films also started to grow.
 
Abhay continued to act while he was a student at IIT. Abhay started working at Microsoft in 2018. Abhay started working for Microsoft on the cyber team. But at the same time, UPI was expanding quickly throughout the nation, and a lot of people were becoming victims of internet fraud. 

Abhay quit his job in 2021 and made the decision to study for the UPSC on his own. After putting in two years of diligent work, Abhay took the UPSC in 2023 for the first time, and he scored 185 on his first try.
