Nagpur: Two make the UPSC cut

NAGPUR: The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) released the results of the Civil Services Exam (CSE) 2019 on Tuesday. 829 candidates qualified for the IAS, IPS, IFS and other civil services.
Two candidates who underwent training from the city’s Pre-IAS Training Centre, Nikhil Dubey and Sumit Ramteke, secured AIR 733 and AIR 748 respectively.
Dubey, an assistant director at Indian Information Service (IIS), who was still trying to process his rank, said, “I have been preparing for some time now.I’m already in the civil services as I got through in 2018. I took a sabbatical year to prepare for the exam. I’ll change the service if I get a better prospect than I am currently in.”
Ramteke, employed as assistant commander in CRPF, informed that this was his fifth attempt. He added, “I started my preparation after graduation in 2015 and I was selected as the CRPF assistant commander in 2018. I did my preparation from Nagpur but shifted to Pune and studied there till 2019. With this rank it is likely that I will get IAS or IRS. The joining will be within 4-5 months and I will be working to improve my rank until then.”
