He taught children for nearly 10 years to support his family before finally making it to the Bihar Public Service Commission. The story of Ankit Kumar, who secured the post of Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP) in Bihar, is one of years of work, patience and struggle. Kumar secured the BPSC post after preparing for the examination while continuing to teach children of different age groups. A resident of Saran district, Kumar secured the 333rd rank in the 70th BPSC examination, the results of which were released a few months ago.
Kumar remained in his village while preparing for the examination. The lack of access to resources did not stop him from continuing his preparation. He taught hundreds of children at a coaching institute that operates under a tin-roof structure. Teaching became part of his daily routine and also helped him support his family.
In a video released by BPSC on X, Kumar spoke about his circumstances and how he prepared for the examination.
โMy financial condition was very poor. My father came from a very poor family and could not afford to send me to big institutions for my studies. So, I started preparing on my own at home by analysing the BPSC examination pattern and previous years' questions,โ he said.
From teaching in a village to securing the DySP post
The controversy surrounding the 70th BPSC examination also reached villages, Kumar said. He said the reports made candidates question the process, even when they were far from the centres where the controversy was being discussed.
โEven in our villages, far away from the centres of these controversies, we were affected by the reports. We wondered whether the allegations were true. But when I appeared for the examination, I did not find anything of that sort. If cheating or manipulation were involved and seats were sold for money, poor candidates like us would never get selected,โ he said.
Kumar also spoke about the belief that candidates from villages may receive lower marks in interviews.
โPeople often say that village candidates get lower marks in interviews. That is completely false. I prepared at my coaching institute, where I also taught students, and I received good marks, which helped me secure the DySP post,โ he said.
He also praised the interview process and said the lottery-based system used to select candidates for interviews contributed to transparency.

โThis time, the interview system involved lottery-based selection of candidates. The level of transparency I witnessed made me feel that even the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) does not have as much transparency as the BPSC,โ Kumar said.
Ankit Kumarโs message to aspirants in villages
Kumarโs journey also carries a message for candidates preparing for competitive examinations in villages. He urged aspirants to remain patient, work consistently and prepare with a clear strategy.
โIf you have the capacity to work hard, the patience to keep going, and the right strategy, you can analyse previous years' questions and hold on to your dreams. You can live in a village, stay in a hut, dream of becoming an officer, and achieve it. I have proved that by doing so,โ he said.
