Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday congratulated candidates from West Bengal who cleared the UPSC Civil Services Examination, 2025.

Using her X handle, CM Banerjee said that girls have secured about half of the top berths.

"Happy to share one piece of excellent news on the eve of International Women's Day: our government-trained candidates from West Bengal have fared very well in the prestigious UPSC Civil Services Examination 2025, and among them, our girls have secured about half of the coveted top berths, as per the just-published results," Banerjee said.

She further said that her government provided highly subsidised coaching support to the candidates.

"Congratulations and best wishes to the successful candidates, their parents/guardians and teachers, and best wishes to all aspirants for future attempts. We are happy that we could provide highly subsidised coaching support to the candidates from our Satyendra Nath Tagore Civil Services Study Centre. In our time, we set up this institute and I am feeling proud," she said.

According to the Chief Minister, about 11 candidates trained at the said study centre have secured positions in the UPSC Civil Services Examination 2025 final merit list, and nearly 50 per cent of them are girls.

"Diksha Rai (40), Akash Kumar Rai (279), Vaishna Biswas (367), Goutam Thakuri (432), Debjyoti Halder (443), Debabrata Pramanik (467), S.

They are likely to enter IAS, IPS and other premier services," she said.

Banerjee said that there are also others from West Bengal who have succeeded in the all-India examination and are expected to enter the apex services.

"Our encouragement and constant care have inspired our youth, and this achievement will in turn encourage many more to aspire for all-India competitive examinations from West Bengal. Kudos to these bright boys and girls for their achievements. The Government of West Bengal is with you!" Banerjee added.

Congratulations to all the achievers! Making Bengal proud. The ranks are impressive. Hope they serve the nation with integrity. The coaching initiative seems to be a good step, though I wish such support was available pan-India for deserving candidates from all economic backgrounds.

As someone who has followed the UPSC journey of a friend, I know how gruelling it is. Securing a rank under 100 is phenomenal. Diksha Rai at AIR 40 is incredible! The gender parity in the top ranks is the real headline here. Well done!

Good to see the results. But let's be honest, while the CM is taking credit for the coaching, the real credit goes to the hard work of these students and their families. Politics should take a backseat when celebrating such individual achievements. Just congratulate them and move on.

Seeing names like Das, Halder, Bano, Sherpa, and Rai on the list truly reflects the diverse fabric of Bengal. This is our strength. Best wishes to all for their service ahead. The state support is commendable, but the journey has just begun for these officers.

This is inspiring for lakhs of aspirants across the country. The subsidised coaching model should be studied and replicated, especially in states with lower representation. A small investment in education and guidance can yield such high returns for the nation.
