Jyoti Mishra, Trainee IFS Officer, Releases Statement After Becoming Victim of 'Mistaken Identity', Clarifies That She Cracked UPSC Exam With 432 Rank in General Category

Jyoti Mishra, a trainee Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer, addressed the confusion surrounding her identity in a recent statement. Jyoti Mishra clarified that she had been mistakenly identified as another individual of the same name who secured 432 ranks as a reserve candidate in the IAS exam. Mishra, who is currently serving as a third secretary at the Indian embassy in Madrid, emphasised that she cracked the UPSC exam in 2021 with a rank of 432 in the general category. She said, “I am a general candidate who qualified for UPSC 2021 with 432 rank in the second list. The Jyoti who secured 432 rank in the first list is an IAS officer from a reserved seat. She hails from Mahendragarh, Haryana, whereas I hail from Rae Bareli, Uttar Pradesh. I became a civil servant through hard work and fair means.”  Jyoti Mishra also warned she is considering legal action against those who continue to harm her reputation through false accusations. Pooja Khedkar, Controversial IAS Officer, May Be Terminated From Service if Found Guilty; Centre’s Probe Begins.
