With a dream of becoming an IAS officer, Shweta Chauhan from Ghaziabad, appeared for the UPSC exams in 2013 for the first time ever. She was a student of B.Sc Physics Honors at the prestigious Hindu College of Delhi University.

The results of her first attempt at UPSC exams were not satisfactory to her. She got recruited in Indian Railway Personnel Service (IRPS). In her second attempt, she grabbed Indian Revenue Service (IRS) but her aim was to get the administrative services.
