E18 - Columbia Masters in Public Administration (MPA) with Kumar | UPSC | INR 70L Scholarship

Welcome to the 18th episode of the Masters with Harshith Podcast. This is a very special episode with a very special guest; in this episode, we talk to Kumar Vivek, an Indian Revenue Services (IRS) Officer who is currently serving as the Joint Commissioner at the Ministry of Finance, Government of India. This episode not only covers Kumar's journey at Columbia but also his journey from being raised in Bihar to why he chose to pursue UPSC and what he made of the experience so far. The episode contains tips not just for MPA applicants but also for all UPSC aspirants as well. I believe, by far, this has been one of the most informative episodes on the podcast about the whole Masters journey. After receiving admits from Harvard, Columbia (with an 85% SCHOLARSHIP), Stanford, LSE, UC Berkeley, Duke, and many more, Kumar decided to head to Columbia. You ask why? Check out the episode!
