Mamta’s educational journey started in Delhi’s Balwant Rai Mehta School, stretching up to the 12th grade, followed by her graduation from the eminent Hindu College, Delhi University.

The Making of an IAS Officer:

Post her school graduation, Mamta’s focus shifted to Delhi University, from where she successfully graduated. It was here that her vision to crack the UPSC became clearer.
