A total of 685 candidates qualified for the examination, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) said on Monday.
This time, the first three ranks have been secured by women – Shruti Sharma, Ankita Agarwal and Gamini Singla.
“Congratulations to all those who have cleared the Civil Services (Main) Examination, 2021. My best wishes to these youngsters who are embarking on their administrative careers at an important time of India’s development journey, when we are marking Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav,” the Prime Minister said in another tweet.
Prime Minister Modi also has a message for those who couldn’t clear the exam.
“I fully understand the disappointment of those who couldn’t clear the Civil Services Exam but I also know that these are outstanding youngsters who will make a mark in any field they pursue and make India proud. My best wishes to them,” he wrote on Twitter.
