One of the hardest exams in India is the UPSC. Every year, thousands of applicants take the test, but only about 10,000 of them pass the preliminary examination. Approximately 1,000 applicants make it to the final list following the preliminary, main, and interview exams in order to become IAS, IPS, IFS, and other civil servants. To pass this prestigious exam, they must study diligently for hours on end. Some even play the part of well-known public servants. IPS Ankita Sharma is one such individual; she played the role of Kiran Bedi, the first female IPS officer in India.
 
Ankita Sharma is an IPS officer from the Chhattisgarh cadre, having joined in 2018. At the moment, she serves as the district's SP for Khairagarh, Chhuikhadan, and Gandai.

She obtained an All India Rank (AIR) of 203 and 1035 in the final list.
