MALAPPURAM: A large number of people visited the residence of T.V. Anupama, who came fourth in the Civil Services examination, at Maranchery, near Ponnani in Malappuram district to congratulate her on achieving the distinction. Ms. Anupama, an engineering graduate from the Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS)-Pilani, Goa, passed the Civil Services examination in her first attempt.
“I prepared for the Civil Services for about a year after I graduated in 2008,” Ms. Anupama told The Hindu. She said unlike other competitive examinations, one cannot be successful in Civil Services without thorough preparation.
‘No short cuts'
Ms. Anupama is the eldest daughter of K.K. Balasubramanyan, circle inspector of police who died in 2002, and T.V. Ramani, an assistant engineer with the Guruvayur Devaswom. She has advised students to set high standards in their studies. “Aim high and work hard,” she says.
Ms. Anupama had secured the third rank in the higher secondary examinations in 2004. She stood 13th in the SSLC examinations in 2002. Ms. Anupama opted for geography and Malayalam literature as her main subjects for the Civil Services. “I had a special liking for both the subjects,” she said.
She said she would choose Indian Administrative Service (IAS). Ms. Anupama is hopeful of getting a posting in Kerala.
