At that time both Giriraj and Garima were in government jobs. Seeing the circumstances of such a family, it was a goal for both of them to concentrate on their job and also to be successful in the examination. Giriraj’s father Manohar Singh Ranaut died in 2017.

The biggest thing is that at the time Garima was preparing for the interview, she was pregnant. At the time of the final interview, Garima had taken her 8-month-old daughter along with her. Garima and Giriraj tell that both of them were in government service.
He had to concentrate completely on his preparation. But there was more responsibility in the bank and PHED job. In such a situation, after being free from duty at night, he used to prepare for the exam from 5 am to 9 am. He used to get only 4 to 5 hours of study.
