The 23-year-old ace model has said that she always wanted to become a Civil Servant and revealed that she did not take up any coaching classes to clear the exam.
Speaking to The Times of India, Sheoran said, “I had to switch off my phone, social media, everything, to focus on the exam and the result is here. But it’s not that I suddenly generated an interest in studies. I was always very studious. I was the head girl in my school. I was a science student and then I went to SRCC (Sri Ram College of Commerce), so my background was such. And ultimately I gravitated back to my studies.”
Deputy Commissioner in New Delhi, Abhishek Singh’s tweeted about the model and wrote, “Happy to see people pursuing diverse interests in life choosing Civil Services as a career. #NewIndia needs #NewAgeOfficers who make the service more representative, more open & more contemporary! Welcome aboard #AishwaryaSheoran Rank 93, CSE 19; a top model & now an officer!!”

Aishwarya’s father Colonel Ajay Kumar is the Commanding Officer of NCC Telangana Battalion, Karimnagar and so the model too decided that her ultimate goal was to serve the nation. And while there are growing opportunities for women in the army, she decided to do her part by becoming an IAS officer.
A total of 180 candidates inclusive of all categories have been selected for IAS posts and 24 candidates are applicable for IFS. According to the commission, the candidate’s appointment to the various Services will be according to the number of vacancies available with due consideration to the provisions contained in the examination rules.
