Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, March 7, 2026 — Devyanshi Kaura from Chandigarh has achieved an impressive All‑India Rank (AIR) 71 in the 2025 UPSC Civil Services Examination, choosing Economics as her optional subject.
Devyanshi’s academic journey reflects her strong foundation in Economics, having completed her Bachelor’s from Lady Shri Ram College, Delhi University, and Master’s from Jawaharlal Nehru University.
Her ambition to join the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) was inspired by her parents. Tragically, she lost both her parents at an early age and was raised by her grandparents in Chandigarh, who nurtured her determination to become an IAS officer.
Despite personal setbacks, Devyanshi remained steadfast in her goal. She emphasizes to aspiring candidates that failures should be viewed as feedback for improvement, helping maintain optimism, resilience, and focus on the ultimate aim.
