Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated those who successfully cleared the Civil Services Examination 2023 organised by the UPSC and also consoled those candidates "who didn't achieve the desired success".
In the final results declared on Tuesday (16 April), 1,106 candidates could find their names in the list with 180 candidates selected for the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and 200 for the Indian Police Service (IPS).
PM Modi posted on X for successful candidates, "Their hard work, perseverance and dedication has paid off, marking the start of a promising career in public service. Their efforts will shape the future of our nation in the times to come. My best wishes to them."
For the unsuccessful candidates, he wrote, "Setbacks can be tough, but remember, this isn't the end of your journey. There are chances ahead to succeed in Exams, but beyond that, India is rich with opportunities where your talents can truly shine."
Modi urged them to keep striving and exploring the vast possibilities ahead and wished them "all the very best."
Aditya Srivastava, Animesh Pradhan and Donuru Ananya Reddy secured the top three positions.
