Rejected 16 job offers, even said no to ISRO, cracked UPSC exam in first attempt, but didn't become IAS Officer, she is..., works as..
The Civil Services Examination is one of the toughest competitive exams in India. Thousands of aspirants appear for the competitive exam, intending to get the top rank. Well, this woman rejected 16 government jobs, turned down an ISRO offer, cracked UPSC reportedly in her first attempt, but didn't become an IAS officer. Her name is… Who is this woman who rejected 16 job offers, even said no to ISRO offer? Tripti Bhatt is the eldest of four siblings. She hails from a family with a strong teaching background. Speaking about her educational qualifications, Tripti Bhatt completed her early schooling at Beersheba Senior Secondary School in Almora. Furthermore, she finished her Class 12th from Kendriya Vidyalaya. After completing her engineering degree from Pantnagar University, Tripti worked as an Assistant Manager for the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC). According to the media reports, Tripti Bhatt received job offers from esteemed organizations like ISRO and Maruti, among many others. However, her dreams lay elsewhere. She was determined to serve the country in a more meaningful way, so she decided to take the Civil Services examination. While she was working at NTPC, she was preparing for the UPSC exam. Her hard work paid off when, in her first attempt, she cracked the exam with an All India Rank(AIR) of 165. She was subsequently allotted her home cadre, and thus she began her journey as an IPS officer. Tripti Bhatt exhibited remarkable intelligence and exceptional determination early in her career. It is said that before she cracked the UPSC Test, she rejected as many as 16 offers of government posts — clearly a reflection of her solid credentials and directed focus. Among those offers was that from ISRO, but Tripti never wavered in her aspiration to join the civil services drafter and took a purposeful tack to the work. When Tripti Bhatt was in the 9th grade, she met the late President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, and she received a handwritten note from him — filled with the most positive words of encouragement — which made a lasting impression on her young life. That moment ignited a strong measure of purpose in her and a significant source of inspiration that influenced her commitment to serve the nation by serving in public service. In her first attempt at the UPSC Civil Services Examination in 2013, Tripti Bhatt achieved an impressive 165th rank, choosing the Indian Police Service (IPS) as her career path. She was assigned to her home cadre and began her service as the Superintendent of Police (SP) in Dehradun. After her tenure there, she took on the role of SP in Chamoli before being appointed as the Commander of the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) in Tehri Garhwal. Currently, Tripti Bhatt serves as SP Intelligence and Security in Dehradun, playing a crucial role in maintaining state security and intelligence operations.
