Perspective: UPSC Toppers- From Aspirants to Achievers | 12 March, 2026

The Civil Services Examination, conducted by the UPSC, is considered to be one of the toughest competitive exams. Every year, lakhs of youngsters appear for the exam, but only a few hundred are able to make it to the final list. The rigorous three-stage process of the Civil Services Exam tests not just knowledge, but also patience, resilience and the ability to stay focused through what can be a tough, often long journey, extending several years. And each year, when the results are declared, we read and hear stories of determination, discipline and perseverance of candidates making it to the list of select few who will go on to shape India’s governance and public service. I’m joined by some of those remarkable achievers - the toppers of Civil Services Exam 2025 – to hear about their journeys -which I’m sure were filled with early morning readings, late night solving of sample papers, also moments of doubt sometimes – but the constant hope that helped them make it through from aspirants to toppers.
