"The Man Who Fought Death and Then Cracked IFoS – Devanand Telgote's Unbelievable Journey"
In 2021, Devanand Telgote was not preparing for an exam—he was fighting for his life.
Struck severely by COVID-19, his condition deteriorated rapidly. He had to be airlifted from Akola, Maharashtra, to KIMS Hospital in Hyderabad. For 120 days, he was on life support—an ECMO machine, typically the last resort when lungs stop functioning. In that time, he also suffered serious heart complications.
But even on the edge of survival, his dream never gave up on him.
He was determined to become a civil servant. So determined, in fact, that the UPSC agreed to conduct his personality test (interview) via video conferencing—a rare exception. Arrangements were made between Delhi and Hyderabad. But his body wasn’t ready—he couldn’t physically sit through the 30-minute interview. He had to let that attempt go.
For many, that would have been the end.
But Devanand didn’t let his story end there.
He restarted. He rebuilt. Slowly, with the same grit he showed in the ICU, he turned his attention back to his dream.
And now, in 2025, he has cracked the Indian Forest Service (IFoS) with All India Rank 112.
His first real UPSC interview. His first chance. His big win.
His Story is More Than a Rank. It's a Message.
You may lose time. You may lose opportunities.
But don’t lose belief.
Because when your dream is stronger than your struggle, the result is destiny rewritten.
Devanand’s story is not just about clearing an exam—it’s about conquering life.
