New Delhi: The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has declared the final results of the Civil Services Examination (CSE) 2025, with Anuj Agnihotri from Rawatbhata in Chittorgarh, Rajasthan, securing All India Rank (AIR) 1.
This year, a total of 958 candidates have been recommended for appointment to various prestigious services such as the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS), and other Group A and B services.
Among the highlights of this year’s result is the strong performance of Gujarat candidates, with 34 young aspirants from the state successfully clearing the UPSC examination, marking a proud moment for the state.
Gujarat’s Rising Presence in UPSC
There was a time when very few aspirants from Gujarat attempted the country’s toughest competitive examination — the UPSC Civil Services Exam. However, in recent years, the trend has significantly changed.
One of the standout performers from Gujarat this year is Nisar Dishant Amrutlal, who secured All India Rank 19, becoming the highest-ranked candidate from the state in UPSC CSE 2025.
The growing number of successful candidates from Gujarat reflects a rising interest among the youth to join civil services and contribute to nation-building.

Role of SPIPA in Guiding Aspirants
A major factor behind this success is the Sardar Patel Institute of Public Administration (SPIPA), which has played a crucial role in preparing civil service aspirants in Gujarat.
According to Harsh Sanghavi, Deputy Chief Minister of Gujarat, the foundation for this transformation was laid when Prime Minister Narendra Modi served as the Chief Minister of Gujarat.
He said that Modi encouraged young people to actively participate in nation-building through public service. As part of this vision, the state government strengthened SPIPA to train talented youth to become capable administrators.
Today, the institute has emerged as a major training hub for UPSC aspirants from Gujarat.
34 SPIPA-Trained Candidates Clear UPSC
This year, 34 candidates trained at SPIPA have successfully cleared the UPSC Civil Services Examination.
Over the last three years, the institute has produced 68 successful candidates, highlighting the effectiveness of the SPIPA training model.
The institute provides aspirants with:
• Structured coaching
• Mentorship by experienced faculty
• Study resources and mock tests
• Guidance for interviews and personality tests
This institutional support has helped many aspirants from across Gujarat pursue careers in civil services.
From Hesitation to Aspiration
Officials and mentors say that the mindset of Gujarat’s youth has changed significantly over the years.
Earlier, only a limited number of students from the state attempted the UPSC examination. Today, thousands of aspirants from nearly every district in Gujarat are preparing for civil services, aiming to serve the country as IAS, IPS, and other central services officers.
The SPIPA model has become an example of how visionary leadership, proper guidance, and institutional support can empower young minds.
