Divya Tanwar is a native of Nimbi, Mahendragarh, Haryana. Divya's father died in 2011 due to a heart attack, her mother cooks food at school to support the family, and the way Divya cracked the UPSC exam despite coming from a small village has earned her acclaim.

After receiving AIR-438 in UPSC at such a young age, Divya was heavily searched on the internet. Divya prepared for the IAS exam and went to various institutes to give mock interviews with the help of YouTube and preferred books.

After graduating from Navodaya Vidyalaya, Divya pursued a Bachelor of Science in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics at Government Women's College while also studying for the UPSC exam. Divya has an older brother and two younger sisters. She comes from a low-income family. As a result, her younger brother and sister receive free education.
