- AIR Rank 7: Aayushi Bansal
- AIR Rank 8: Raj Krishna Jha

How the Selection Happened ?
UPSC employed its standard three-stage approach:
The Prelims served as a screening test.
The Mains tested deeper understanding and analytical abilities.
The Interview round, conducted from January 7 to April 17, tested personality and presence of mind.
In comparison to last year, the interview process was longer. Nevertheless, the process remained comprehensive and open.
1,132 Central Posts on Offer
This year’s selection occupies 1,132 high-level positions. These are positions in policy-making, finance, foreign affairs, and law enforcement. With such responsibilities, these positions require not only ability, but also good public values.
UPSC examines beyond facts. It searches for determination, clarity, values, and an inclination to serve. Toppers such as Shakti Dubey demonstrate what today’s young leaders have to give—concentration, discipline, and a strong sense of responsibility.
This year’s results also indicate increasing inclusivity. Results like Harshita Goyal, Komal Punia, and Aayushi Bansal indicate increasing numbers of women in top positions.
Moreover, candidates from most regions and academic streams have done well. Consequently, the future administration of India appears more inclusive than ever.
