A graduate in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from VIT, Vellore, Archit chose Philosophy as his optional subject for the exam. He completed his schooling in Mumbai and pursued his junior college studies in Pune. Before dedicating himself fully to UPSC preparation, he worked briefly in an IT company.

His success is especially significant for Pune, a city known for its vibrant UPSC preparation ecosystem, with several coaching institutes and libraries catering to aspirants.

Archit’s achievement adds to Pune’s growing legacy of producing top civil service officers and serves as a source of inspiration for aspiring candidates across Maharashtra.
