Anjali Birla UPSC Story: Became IAS Exam In First Attempt

The nation witnessed one of the most fissiparous and divisive elections with political parties across the spectrum resorting to the meanest and the most unthinkable acts.

Post elections, scenes have not changed and every day both the ruling and the opposition parties engage in mudslinging which was never witnessed before.

The latest in this is the accusations against the daughter of present Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla who after clearing the UPSC examinations in 2019 is presently employed as an IAS officer with the Indian Railways.

India is the only country where you can clear UPSC without sitting in the examination.

But for that you have to be born as a daughter of Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla.

What was discovered within the investigation?

India TV's fact-check staff determined to resolve these claims, for which we began in search of outdated cut-offs on the UPSC website. That is the place we discovered the reality. Earlier than that, we need to inform you that after each civil service examination, UPSC prepares two lists - the principle listing and the reserve listing. Whereas the principle listing is launched instantly, the reserve listing is launched after all of the candidates from the principle listing have been allotted the accessible vacancies. This course of is clearly laid out beneath Guidelines 16 (4) and (5) of the Civil Providers Examination Guidelines, 2019.

After allocating posts to the candidates from the principle listing, the remaining vacancies are crammed by choosing candidates from the reserve listing based mostly on advantage.

The UPSC reserve listing shouldn't be a reservation quota listing, however a second advantage listing or a ready listing. The variety of candidates chosen from this listing is dependent upon what number of reserved class candidates in the principle listing have met the overall class requirements.

Now, talking of details, we discovered the cut-off listing for 2019 on the UPSC website. It revealed that in 2019, there have been 927 vacancies, and the mains outcomes introduced in August 2020 included 829 candidates. The remaining positions had been crammed from the reserve listing. Because of this 98 reserved class candidates met the overall class requirements within the 2019 UPSC-CSE. Out of those, 89 candidates didn't go for the seats accessible for the overall class, which remained vacant.

Then, in January 2021, a reserve listing was launched with 89 candidates' names. Anjali Birla's identify was on the 67th place on this listing, as per the official UPSC report. This listing included 73 basic, 14 OBC, 1 EWS, and 1 SC class candidates.

What was the conclusion?

This clearly reveals that she took the UPSC examination and handed all phases to grow to be an IAS officer. The claims made against Anjali Birla on social media are baseless; she achieved this place by her functionality.
