With her fourth attempt, Adiba Anam, the daughter of an autorickshaw driver from Maharashtra’s Yavatmal district, has created history—becoming the first Muslim woman from the state to clear the UPSC Civil Services Exam. Ranked 142nd in the All India list for 2024, her journey from a modest background to the country’s top bureaucracy is a powerful reminder that determination can break any barrier.
A Humble Start, A Powerful Dream
Adiba’s roots lie in a family that struggled financially but never compromised on the value of education. Her father, Ashfaq Ahmed, couldn’t pursue studies and turned to driving an autorickshaw to support the family. Still, the belief in education ran deep in their household.
Adiba began her academic journey at Zafarnagar Zilla Parishad Urdu Primary School and completed her schooling through local government institutions in Yavatmal. Later, she pursued a BSc in Mathematics from Inamdar Senior College in Pune, where she also began her civil services preparation.
Success After Setbacks
Adiba’s UPSC journey wasn’t without setbacks. She faced three initial failures, reaching the interview round once but falling short of the final selection. Yet, she didn’t lose heart. With a focused mindset, she prepared harder for her fourth attempt—and this time, it paid off.
Her success was also shaped by guidance from Haj House IAS Training Institute and Jamia Residential Coaching Academy, where she honed her preparation and strategy.
As congratulations poured in, former Maharashtra Minister Manikrao Thakre, also from Yavatmal, praised her on social media, calling her selection a proud moment for the district and the state.
Today, the final result of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC 2024) has been declared. Adiba Anam Ashfaq Ahmed from Yavatmal district of Maharashtra has secured 142nd rank from all over India.
