Recalling her journey, Bala shared that she completed her primary education till Class 10 in Nowshera before pursuing her higher secondary education in Jammu. Graduating from Gandhinagar, she embarked on her UPSC CAPF exam preparation during her last semester and, by the grace of God, cleared it in her first attempt.

Her success, she credited, was the result of hard work, perseverance, and consistency, along with the unwavering support of her parents, teachers, and numerous well-wishers.

Highlighting the inclusive nature of the examination, Simran Bala emphasized that the UPSC CAPF is an all-India level test, unaffected by one's geographical background. She believed that anyone, regardless of whether they hail from a border area or a metropolitan city, can succeed in cracking the exam thanks to the age of the internet.

Her message to aspirants was one of encouragement and determination: "If you have the requisite qualities, you can conquer it. Hard work, an honest approach, and good health are essential."

The Union Public Service Commission recently announced the CAPF Final Result 2021 on June 2, revealing the success of 151 candidates who cleared the examination.
