User Brind Kumar wrote, “Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla, who is a number one dictator, his daughter, who used to do modeling, suddenly appeared for the IAS exam and became an IAS in the first attempt.

Fact Check

In our fact-check research, we searched the UPSC website and found a notification issued on January 4, 2021. This notification stated that the result of the Civil Services Main Examination 2019 was released on August 4, 2020, listing the names of 829 candidates. Since the total number of vacancies was 927, the commission released a consolidated reserve list under Rule No. 16 (4) & (5) of the Civil Services Examination Rules. This list included the names of 89 candidates, among whom Anjali Birla’s name appeared at number 67 with roll number 0851876.

To get selected in UPSC, one has to pass two exams: the preliminary and the main. When we checked the result of the UPSC preliminary exam for the year 2019, we found Anjali’s roll number in the list of successful candidates.

Furthermore, we also found a report of Anjali Birla’s conversation with NDTV. According to this report, Anjali said, “I am shocked that even after giving the exam, I have to give a clarification that I studied for it, but I think this has made me stronger because I may have to face such criticisms in the future too. It has made me mature as a human being.” She added, “I was very honest with myself throughout. My close friends know how hard I have worked.” Amidst trolling, Anjali wrote in a post, “The UPSC Civil Services Examination is held in three stages over a period of one year, and you can become a civil servant only if you succeed in all these three stages. The UPSC CSE has a completely clean and transparent process; there is no ‘backhand entry.’ Please respect this institution.”

Moreover, Anjali has also told in one of her Instagram posts that UPSC Civil Services Examination is conducted in three phases in a year. You can become a civil servant only if you pass all three. UPSC CSE is a very fair and transparent process. There is no backhand entry in it.

Conclusion: It is evident from our fact check research that the claim of passing the UPSC exam in a dubious mean is false. Anjali had cleared the prelims and mains exam and also cleared the personal interview.
