Tina Dabi, the celebrated IAS officer who topped the UPSC Civil Services Examination in 2015 with an All India Rank of 1, has once again found herself in the spotlight. Recently, rumors about her CBSE Class 12 marksheet went viral on social media, igniting discussions about her academic achievements. Despite the widespread speculation, there has been no verified confirmation of the marksheet’s authenticity, nor has Dabi publicly commented on the matter.
Born on November 9, 1993, in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, Dabi’s academic journey has long been a source of inspiration. She completed her schooling at Jesus and Mary School in Delhi before pursuing her graduation at Lady Shri Ram College for Women, Delhi University. It was during her time at LSR that she further solidified her academic credentials, eventually clearing the UPSC exam on her first attempt.
Reports suggest that Dabi was an exceptional student, scoring an impressive 93% in her Class 12 Board Exams, including a perfect score of 100 in Political Science and History. Having completed her senior secondary education through the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Dabi was also honored as ‘Student of the Year’ during her graduation, underlining her consistent academic brilliance.
Tina Dabi made headlines in 2016 when she became the first Dalit woman to top the UPSC Civil Services Exam, a feat that brought her national recognition. Her personal life has also been a topic of public interest. Dabi first married fellow IAS officer Athar Aamir Khan in 2018, but the marriage ended in 2020. Recently, she married IAS officer Pradeep Gawande.
Currently serving in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, Tina Dabi continues to be a role model for aspiring civil servants. Despite the ongoing rumors, her accomplishments in both academics and public service remain indisputable.
