"Gave Exam 12 Times, But Don't Consider 7 Of Those": Puja Khedkar To Court

Puja Khedkar has also rejected a claim by the UPSC - which is the government body that conducts the Civil Services entrance exam - that she changed her name and surname, and that of her parents.
Former IAS trainee officer Puja Khedkar on Friday urged the Delhi High Court to disregard seven of her 12 acknowledged attempts to pass the uber-competitive Civil Services entrance exam.
Specifically, Ms Khedkar doubled down on physical disability claims - she has a Maharashtra hospital certificate diagnosing her with an "old ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tear with left knee instability" - and asked, therefore, that only attempts in the 'divyang' category be counted.
She has claimed a 47 per cent disability as against the government's 40 per cent benchmark.
