While finishing these tasks, I also kept preparing for the competitive exams.” According to Priyanka, she had cleared the written exam for the BPSC twice, but failed to pass the interview stage. Her relentless efforts, however, bore fruit and she finally managed to get through the examination in the third attempt.
