Saumya Pandey
has given pleasant surprise to everyone with her scintillating performance in
the UPSC Civil Services Examination, 2016. With All India Rank four, she is
all set to pursue her dream of being an IAS officer. Allahabad, which was once
a hub for IAS preparation, again comes to limelight thanks to Saumya Pandey who
didn’t go to Delhi and stayed at her home in the holy city.
Profile of Saumya Pandey
Saumya was born
and brought up in Allahabad. Her mother Dr. Sadhana Pandey is a renowned
gynecologist while her father Dr. Ravi Pandey runs a computer institute in
Allahabad. She is the only child of her parents. She did schooling from St.
Mary’s Convent. She had a dream of studying in the prestigious Motilal Nehru
National Institute of Technology. She never thought of going to any IIT. Her
desire to stay with parents finally resulted in credible performance in AIEEE
examination. She took admission in MNNIT in 2011 and completed B. Tech in 2015
with Electrical Engineering. While doing engineering, she started to dream
about becoming an IAS officer. She has always been a brilliant student. Her
parents never interfered in her career choice and they let her prepare for
Civil Services rather than joining MNC with fat salary.
Saumya Pandey
joined Dhyey IAS Coaching Institute and started preparation. With dedication,
determination and right direction, she is able to sail through all three
barriers of UPSC Civil Services Examination.
Saumya has given
Uttar Pradesh as her first choice for cadre. The cadre allocation is based on
rooster policy which is highly unpredictable. Having good rank may not lead to
home cadre. Tina Dabi had given Haryana as her first choice, but got Rajasthan.
Same thing happened with Ira Singhal. It will be interesting to see whether
Saumya gets home cadre or not.
Saumya Pandey is
a Brahmin by caste. The topper Nandini KR is an OBC.
Boyfriend of Saumya Pandey
Saumya Pandey is
not the usual girl you will find. She has never been in any committed sort of
relationship despite being an extrovert. She had many proposals. Her entire
focus was on her career. She is a keen follower of Art of Living (Sri Sri Ravi
Shankar).
