Aspirants from two Telugu states bagged impressive ranks in the Civil Services examinations with P. Srija of Hyderabad securing the 20th rank and topping the two Telugu states.

A medical doctor from Osmania Medical College, Srija bagged the rank in her very first attempt with the optionals being from her core subjects. The daughter of a nurse in Primary Health Centre in Jangaon Srija will get the home cadre for her rank. From being medical doctor to a civil servant, she says she can serve better in public life than in medical profession. She attributes her success to her father Srinivas Podishetty’s dream.

The State topper who hails from Warangal says she was ably guided by V. Gopalkrishna of Brain Tree, Balalatha of CSB IAS Academy and Cyberabad Commissioner Mahesh Bhagwat for the personality test. The 66th ranker, Anisha Srivastava, an alumnus of NASR school, is a resident of RK Puram. The 317th ranker, Gouthami, hailing from the city, is an Architecture graduate from NIT Nagpur and her mother too is a staff nurse.
