Previously, he earned a commendable 16th place in the DMIS exams. However, driven by his ambition to become an IAS officer, he attempted the UPSC exam again, climbing to the 12th rank.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Currently serving as a Sub Divisional Magistrate (SDM) in Delhi under the Delhi, Andaman and Nicobar, Lakshadweep, Daman and Diu (Civil) Services (DANICS), Abhinav had previously donned the role of a deputy collector in Haryana.

His younger sibling is also gearing up for the Civil Services exam.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Abhinav pursued his B Tech from <strong>Delhi Technological University in<\/strong> 2016 and his MBA from IIM Calcutta. He has accumulated diverse professional experiences as a management consultant, an investment banker, and even worked for a commercial firm post completing his MBBS in Kolkata in 2018, before joining the Danika Service in 2020. Abhinav chose <strong>Sociology Optional by Vikash Ranjan Sir<\/strong> as his optional at <strong>TRIUMPH IAS<\/strong> subject for the <strong>UPSC Mains 2022<\/strong> examination.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Balancing his full-time job as SDM for South Delhi, Abhinav allocated seven to eight hours daily for his <strong>UPSC studies<\/strong>.
