Famous game show Kaun Banega Crorepati became the highest-rated programme on Indian television when Ravi Mohan Saini, a class 10 student, won Rs. 1 crore in 2001 in KBC Junior.
The unique thing that make him a source of inspiration for everyone is that nearly two decades later, he also cleared the world’s toughest examination UPSC Civil Services to became an IPS Officer. Saini qualified for the Indian Police Services in 2014, with an All-India rank of 461.
Ravi Mohan Saini’s father was a retired Navy officer. Due to the nature of his father’s work, Saini attended the Naval Public School in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, where he completed his formal education. In 2001, Ravi Mohan Saini, the 14-year-old boy, sat on the hot seat in a quest to become a crorepati.
After answering 15 questions correctly, he won the prize amount of 1 crore on the TV show.
After completing his schooling, he went on to prepare for medical entrance examinations. He received his MBBS from the Mahatma Gandhi Medical College in Jaipur. While completing his medical internship in 2012, he sat for the toughest examination in India Union Public Service Commission.
Although he cleared the UPSC preliminary examination, he was unable to clear the Mains exam on his first try. Later in 2013, he appeared and cleared the Prelims and Mains exams. He was even hired by Indian Post and Telecom, Accounts and Finance Services.
But destiny has saved some other plans for him. In 2014, he reappeared for the competitive exam.
