UPSC Civil Services Examination Results Declared: Anuj Agnihotri Tops

So the wait for thousands of students is finally over. On Friday, March 6, 2026, the UPSC released the final 2025 merit list. The goal of this exam is to find India’s next top officers. In fact, 958 candidates made the final cut this year. Plus, a medical doctor from Rajasthan has taken the top spot.

Meet the Topper: Dr. Anuj Agnihotri

But here is the most impressive part. Anuj Agnihotri, who secured Rank 1, is a doctor from AIIMS Jodhpur. Is he new to service? No. Consequently, he was already working in the DANICS cadre while preparing. Moreover, he hails from a small town called Rawatbhata in Rajasthan. Previously, he completed his MBBS in 2023 before diving into civil services. So, his journey from medicine to administration is truly inspiring. Therefore, he is now a role model for science students across India.

The Top 10 Merit List

Still, many other talented people share the spotlight today. The plan to recruit 1,087 officers is nearly complete. And, women have shown great strength in the top ranks again. Accordingly, Rajeshwari Suve M and Akansh Dhull have secured the second and third ranks.

Rank	Name	Background
🥇 1	Anuj Agnihotri	AIIMS Jodhpur / DANICS
🥈 2	Rajeshwari Suve M	Female Topper
🥉 3	Akansh Dhull	–
🏅 55	Gudelli Srujana	Telangana Success

Regional Success and Next Steps

But success is not limited to just the top ten names. The reason for the joy in South India is that over 30 Telugu candidates qualified. Why? Because states like Telangana and Andhra Pradesh continue to produce top-tier talent. Essentially, Gudelli Srujana from Peddapalli made her town proud with the 55th rank. Indeed, the UPSC has kept 348 results as “provisional” for now.

Then there is the matter of the individual scores. The reason you cannot see your marks yet is that UPSC releases them after 15 days. Worth noting: The final appointments depend on the exact vacancies in the IAS, IPS, and IFS. Ultimately, for these 958 winners, a new life of service begins today.
