In this, 761 candidates have been passed. Shubham Kumar of Bihar Katihar has topped. Suchitar Sharma has secured 146 ranks in his very first attempt.

Suchitar Sharma says that he had decided in class 12 itself that he got inspiration from cousin sister. Therefore, along with my college studies, I started preparing for UPSC as well.
