You can go ahead with your goal only when you have lived the painful situations,” Kumar was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
After securing outstanding scores in matriculation, he cleared Class 12 from Chinmaya Vidyalaya Bokaro School by obtaining more than 93 per cent marks. Kumar then pursued his desired engineering course from Yadavpur University, Kolkata and cleared the exam with flying colours. He was also awarded a gold medal for his outstanding performance.

Speaking on how self-study is important for a candidate, Kumar asserted that if a student wants to crack UPSC then self-study should be given first priority.
His mother, Pratima Devi – a homemaker said that Kumar never lost hope even after two consecutive failures in the exam. She humbly added that “this time he has made us proud.” His father Ajay Kumar Singh, who is now practicing farming in his village, claimed that “my son has been honest to his work” and we are proud of the outcome.
