A resident of Ajmer, Rajasthan, Shreyans completed his Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT–B), in 2015. He worked with Ernst and Young for two years before deciding to apply for the civil services. This was his first attempt.

The UPSC issued statement states that the Commission has recommended a total of 759 candidates (577 men and 182 women) for appointment to various services like IAS, IPS, IFS and the allied services.
