UPSC CSE 2025 results out; PM Modi congratulates successful candidates
UPSC just dropped its 2025 Civil Services Exam results: 958 candidates made the cut for top government roles like IAS, IPS, and IFS.
PM Modi gave a warm shoutout to everyone who cleared it, saying their hard work paid off and wishing them well as they start serving the country.
For those who missed out in the 2025 exam cycle, he encouraged them to keep going, reminding them that "This is only one step in a larger journey."
Anuj Agnihotri from Rajasthan tops the exam
Final rankings were based on scores from the tough mains exam (1,750 marks) plus a personality test (275 marks) that wrapped up in February.
Anuj Agnihotri from Rajasthan grabbed All-India rank one this time.
If you're curious about what it takes: UPSC CSE is one of India's toughest exams with three stages (prelims, mains, and interview) testing not just knowledge but also leadership skills and analytical thinking.
Keep trying, says PM Modi
Cracking UPSC is still a huge dream for many young Indians. It's about more than just a job; it's a shot at shaping how the country runs.
Even if you didn't make it this year, there are plenty of chances ahead. Stories like these keep the dream alive.
