The Civil Services Exam (CSE) conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is one of the hardest tests. More than 8 to 10 lakh applicants apply for this examination each year, however only about 10,000 advance to the mains exam. In the end, just 1000 candidates make it to the interview round, indicating a less than 1 per cent success rate. So, if you manage to crack the exam, you are regarded as nothing short of a genius. That’s why when the 2023 CSE topper Aditya Srivastava landed in his hometown Lucknow; he was given a grand welcome.
On April 22, Srivastava arrived at Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport and was greeted with garlands and roses. The viral video, which was shared by ANI, shows Srivastava seeing his family, touching their feet and taking flowers from his well-wishers while covered in garlands.
“Aditya Srivastava, who secured the first rank in the Civil Services Examination, arrives in UP’s Lucknow, received by family and friends,” ANI wrote on X (Formerly Twitter).
