civil service
After graduation, she started preparing for UPSC CSE and attended the General Studies Pre-Main Course at Vajiram & Ravi Coaching Center, an IAS coaching center in Old Rajinder Nagar, New Delhi (2019-20). In an interview, when talking about preparation for the exam, she said,
I started prepping when I was in college, but both were hard to handle, so I actually started after 2019.

You have to make a lot of sacrifices during preparation, like giving up your social life, but you have to do it to stay consistent and disciplined. “
