Meet Awadh Ojha_ UPSC Teacher Who Was Once Worshipped, Now Called 'Two-faced' By Aspirants

The deaths of three UPSC aspirants in a flooded basement of an IAS coaching center in Old Rajinder Nagar are making headlines. Students were angry about the incident and the silence of famous teachers like Vikas Divyakirti and Avadh Pratap Ojha. Now, both Vikas Divyakirti and Avadh Ojha have expressed their condolences for the students who died.

Avadh Pratap Ojha, in an interview with Dainik Jagran, discussed the RAU incident and responded to questions about why he wasn’t at the protest and criticized the students. He said no one was willing to take responsibility or reveal their names among those who invited him to the protest. He added that he would have definitely gone if certain people had asked him directly. After his comments, he was trolled, with one user saying, “Wow, now a teacher needs a special invitation to join a protest.” Another commented, “Don’t be two-faced; people expect more from you.” A third user said, “So you need an invitation card and 25 boxes of sweets to show up?” Many people are unaware of how Awadh Ojha became a UPSC teacher.

Who is Avadh Ojha?

Avadh Ojha, commonly known as Ojha sir among UPSC aspirants, is from Gonda, Uttar Pradesh. Many might not know that his full name is Awadh Pratap Ojha. Ojha’s father was a postmaster in Gonda and was very concerned about his education. He even sold land to cover the expenses of Ojha’s mother’s education, who later became a lawyer.

Avadh Pratap Ojha completed his early education in Gonda. He often mentioned in interviews that he was quite mischievous as a child. His school principal frequently complained to his family about his behavior, and his mother often scolded him for being undisciplined. Ojha graduated from Fatima Inter College in Gonda.

Avadh Ojha had a fight with his mother after he failed to clear the UPSC in his last attempt. In a media interview, the educator from Gonda said that his mother taunted him about his failure, which led him to leave the house.
