Ms Nandini, who spends time reading literature or playing volleyball, said this was her message to other civil service aspirants as well.

This year, just 1,100 got through but only 180 of them will get the coveted IAS. The rest will get any of the remaining 20-odd civil services such as the police, foreign or revenue service.
