The UPSC Success Story of Major Nitish Kumar Singh began in Bijulia village in Begusarai district of Bihar. He joined the National Defence Academy (NDA) and later served in the Indian Army’s Corps of Electronics and Mechanical Engineers (EME).

In 2017, he took part in an anti-terror operation in Shopian, South Kashmir. During the encounter, he suffered serious injuries while fighting militants. The incident forced him to rethink his career path after years of military service.

After recovering, Singh decided to serve the nation in another way. He started preparing for the civil services examination. His discipline from army life helped him stay focused on his goal.

His hard work paid off when he secured AIR 305 in UPSC 2025. He will now train at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) to begin his journey as a civil servant.
