His family toiled in the farms to give Aman and his younger siblings education. 

“I was always passionate of civil services, which is why I left my corporate job to enter this service,” Aman said. 

After completing software engineering he opted for geography as the optional subject in both the UPSC and BPSC exams. 

Among a total of 1,454 candidates, Aman ranked 161st and has qualified for the post of Sub Divisional Officer of the Bihar Administrative Services, Senior Deputy Collector, the Bihar Police Service, the Commercial Tax services, the Bihar Prison Service, Revenue, supply and various other state services.

On being asked, whether he had memory of the days he had given speeches before Nitish Kumar, he said: “Not very much because I was only 5 to 8 years old. But papa used to say that Nitish Kumar ji had appreciated my speech and wished all the best then.”
