IIT Delhi Graduate Rejects 35 LPA Job to Join Indian Police ServicePreviousNext

Archit Chandak, an IIT Delhi graduate from Nagpur, turned down a lucrative 35 lakh per annum job offer from a Japanese firm to pursue his dream of joining the Indian Police Service. After topping the JEE in Nagpur in 2012 and completing a mechanical engineering degree in 2016, he cleared the UPSC Civil Services Examination in 2018 with an All India Rank of 184 on his first attempt.
