Mumbai: The Union Public Service Commission Thursday declared the results of the Civil Service Examination 2013, naming 1,122 successful candidates who had cleared the prestigious examination to join premier civil services including the Indian Administrative Service.
Gaurav Agrawal, Munish Sharma and Rachit Raj have bagged the top three spots in the tough examination comprising a written test (held in December 2013) followed by interviews (held in April-June 2014).
Among the top hundred successful candidates are four Muslims whose names are Faiz AQ Ahmed Mumta (Rank 17), Abid Husaain Sadique (Rank 27), Md Musharraf Ali Farooqui (Rank 80) and Sana Akhter (Rank 90).
13 candidates who were trained at the coaching centre run by Zakat Foundation of India are also among those succesfully cracking the coveted exam considered as most difficult in India. Of these 13 candidates 12 are Muslims.
The results are based on the scores of the candidates comprising a written test (held in December 2013) followed by personality test interviews (held in April-June 2014).
The results can be accessed on the UPSC website.
This is the highest intake of civil servants through this examination, nearly double the 580 civil servants recruited in 2009. An additional 210 candidates have been placed in the reserve list.
While 517 candidates have cleared the examination in the general category, 326 belong to Other Backward Classes, 187 Scheduled Caste and 92 to Scheduled Tribe categories.
