During our school and college days we have all been made to believe that Civil Service aspirations like IAS and IPS are for the best and brightest students in the class.
But an IPS Officer from Karnataka is breaking this stereotype, describing himself as a mediocre student, the typical backbencher.
Mithun Kumar G K said there was hardly anyone who believed him and, looking back he feels it was a blessing in disguise.
Speaking to Humans of Lbsnaa,the 2016 batch IPS officer recalled how he took up a job in software sector immediately after graduation to support the family, as he was the eldest child.

But the job never gave him satisfaction and he felt that something was missing. After three years of working he left the job as his younger brother took up the responsibility of running the house.
Kumar said it was his father who planted the idea of him being a police officer one day inside him, and that grew within.
"I wanted to be a civil servant and a police officer in particular. Whenever I saw a policeman on road there would be a spark in me. When I cleared the exams, many asked me why not the Administrative service. I had no answers, I could not explain to them how much the Uniform fascinated me and that I had always imagined myself to be in one," he said.
And in 2016, after four failed attempts he finally managed to clear UPSC Exam with a rank of 130.
While he could have opted for IAS, Kumar said he we were clear in his mind and always wanted to be a police officer.
