[www.keralites.net] 'Dr. Renu Raj daughter of a Bus Driver from Kerala has exploded many civil services myths' [1 Attachment]

 

'Dr. Renu Raj daughter of a Bus Driver from Kerala has exploded many civil services myths' :- 'The popular belief is that unless they come from English speaking, sophisticated and affluent families, prepare at a young age, get educated in a first rate college, go to a coaching class in one of the metro cities, take the examination several times, the aspirants cannot make it to the civil services list, particularly its very top.'

By securing the second rank in the UPSC civil services examination this year, a 27-year-old married medical graduate, born in a Kerala village to a bus conductor father and educated, but unemployed mother, Renu Raj has exploded many civil services myth.

The increase in the age limit and the number of permissible chances changed the scene completely. The upper age limit rose from 23 to 32 and the chances increased from 2 to 6. This enabled doctors, engineers, IIT and IIM graduates and others to take the place of arts and humanities graduates to a great extent.

For Renu, who obtained the 4th rank in the Class 10 and 13th rank in plus two exams, it opened up immense possibilities because of the changed circumstances and nature of the examination.

She breezed into a government medical college, passed the MBBS examination in flying colours, married a doctor and began to practice medicine.
