The UPSC Civil Services Examination is considered one of the most difficult competitive examinations in India. Every year, lakhs of candidates spend years preparing for this exam, with only a very small number being successful. In the last few years, many IAS and IPS officers’ success stories have been widely shared on the internet, inspiring and motivating people throughout India. The experiences behind these incredible achievements demonstrate the value of continuing to strive for success even when faced with obstacles.
The love story of IAS Kritika Mishra from Kanpur and IAS officer Ankur Tripathi has taken social media by storm. The two initially met during the Maha Kumbh Mela, and their friendship slowly developed into a romantic relationship.
Kritika hailed from Kanpur. She completed her undergraduate degree in Hindi literature from Pandit Prithvi Nath College, Kanpur University, before beginning the preparation process for her IAS examinations. Kritika’s journey is made even more impressive by the fact that she took the IAS exam in Hindi, demonstrating her great command of the language.
Kritika was unsuccessful in her initial effort at the UPSC Civil Services Examination. However, despite this setback, she never lost hope of becoming successful. She committed herself to studying day and night prior to retaking the examination. Ultimately, she succeeded and achieved an All India Rank(AIR) of 66 on the UPSC 2022 Examination.
Ankur Tripathi passed the UPSC 2022 Examination and subsequently became an IPS officer. Following this success, he took the UPSC Exam once again in 2024 and received an All India Rank(AIR) of 50, which resulted in his becoming an IAS Officer.

Last month, Kritika posted on social media that they got engaged to each other. Taking to Instagram, she wrote, “A Union where two realize they were never two. Grateful to God for this divine blessing.”
