From Financial Struggles to UPPSC AIR 113: Anjeet Singh Rajpoot’s Success with Physics Wallah

Every year, thousands of students dream of clearing state civil service exams like UPPSC. For most, the path is difficult. For Anjeet Singh Rajpoot, it was even harder. From selling vegetables to pay his school fees to failing every subject in Class 11, he faced financial and personal difficulties throughout his education.

Despite these setbacks, Anjeet continued his studies through self-learning and eventually prepared for UPPSC with support from PW Only IAS. 

After multiple unsuccessful attempts, he finally cleared the UPPSC examination and became an officer. His journey shows that an early academic setback does not have to determine the course of one's future.

How Anjeet Overcame Failure After Selling Vegetables 

Anjeet's education was never easy. From class 6 to class 12, he bought vegetables from the mandi and sold them door to door to pay his own school fees.

"Class six se lekar 12th tak maine mandi se sabzi chuka ke feri mein bech bech ke apni fees chukai hai. Phir uske baad 11th mein main saare subjects mein fail ho gaya tha. Coaching ke liye paise nahi the, kuchh nahi tha."

Despite failing every subject in class 11, Anjeet did not stop. With some support, he got admission again and went on to top his class in 12th grade, proving early on that setbacks could be turned around.

Anjeet’s Struggles with Family Hardships and Broken Support

Anjeet's struggles did not end with school. His family had no electricity at home, even in recent years, and very few resources. His father has been unable to get out of bed for the last four years due to a bone problem. Around the same time, relatives distanced themselves from him.

"Rishtedaaron ne saare sabhi ne mujhe chhod diya. Kisi ne mujhse koi baat bhi nahi karta hai."

An aunt sold a plot of land to fund his B.Tech, after which he worked for two years in a railway job. He also gave over 50 competitive exams without success and attempted the UPPSC prelims four times, failing three of them. 

During this difficult time, many people supported him. These included Sanjeev Bhaiya, Sujeet Sir from the police department, his friends, and Sadhna.

How Physics Wallah Helped Anjeet Prepare Without Any Offline Coaching

With limited financial resources and no experience of offline coaching, Anjeet relied on self-study and online learning. He found PW Only IAS during the lockdown period and continued using its resources for his civil services preparation.

He said:

"PW Only IAS ne to 2020 se jab lockdown laga, uske baad se to unhone aisi tabahi machai, aisa kar diya. Itna diversification, itna zyada ghar-ghar pahucha diya ki civil service kahin se bhi ban sakta hai aadmi. Kahin se kuchh bhi kar sakta hai aur maine koi offline coaching aaj tak nahi li."

Anjeet prepared for the prelims through self-study and later joined the Safalta Batch for further preparation. He also received interview guidance from the PW Only IAS faculty. Hari Om Sir had guided him earlier, while Satya Sir and Swati Ma'am supported him during the later stages of his preparation.

For Anjeet, online learning provided an accessible way to continue his preparation without joining an offline coaching centre.

How Anjeet’s UPPSC Result Changed His Life

After several unsuccessful attempts, Anjeet finally cleared all stages of the UPPSC examination.

He recalled:

"Is baar mera pre bhi hua hai. Mains bhi hua hai. Interview bhi hua hai aur clear naam bhi aaya hai."

For someone who had previously struggled with multiple UPPSC attempts, seeing his name in the final list was a significant moment. He described the day the result was announced as a new beginning in his life: 

"Jis din result aaya hai us din mera dusra janm hua hai."

He has also written the 2025 mains exam and has one UPSC attempt left, which he hopes to clear next.

Anjeet Singh Rajpoot's Journey Shows Why Giving Up Is Not an Option

Anjeet Singh Rajpoot's journey, from selling vegetables to pay his fees to becoming a UPPSC AIR 113, shows that financial hardship, family struggles, and repeated failures do not have to decide the future. As he puts it:

"Apne jeevan se main sirf itna hi seekha hoon ki kitna bhi sangharsh ho jaye, kuchh bhi ho jaye par haarna nahi hai."

For aspirants facing their own setbacks, his story is a reminder that consistent effort and the right guidance can turn even the toughest beginnings into success.
