Koraput: Former skipper of Odisha women’s U-19 cricket team, Ritu Singh, has secured 204 rank in the Civil Services Examination 2018 conducted by the Odisha Public Service Commission (OPSC).
A native of Jeypore in Koraput district, she cracked the exam without any coaching or tuition. She is currently serving as a constable with Odisha Police.
The results were declared on Monday and she got a call from her brother-in-law about it while returning from work in a bus. “I scrolled through the site and was so happy to see that I had cleared the exam,” said Ritu.
A change in career was a tough call for her. “On some days, I failed to realize the day-night transition,” she told a local news channel.
Being a sportsperson, she also found it difficult to study at length. “I could crack the exam because of the blessings of my family and their immense support,” she added. Ritu Singh’s father is a motor mechanic.
