A 28-year-old Anmol Jain from Bhopal secured 14th rank in UPSC civil services final exam 2019, results of which were announced on Tuesday.

A graduate from IIT Delhi, Jain cleared the exam in his fifth and final attempt. Jain recently secured third rank in Indian Forest Services exam, conducted by UPSC.

Jain prepared for the exam in Bhopal and he joined online classes for mock tests.

Jain said, “I am so happy that I achieved my ultimate dream. When I was doing my engineering, I had decided to become an IAS officer. As physics was my favourite subject so I chose it as my optional subject too.”

“After completing my engineering, I joined a private company in Gurgaon. I started preparation by joining a coaching in Delhi. Later, I moved to my home town in Bhopal and started preparation through self-study. I used to enjoy my studies a lot hence I never counted hours,” he added.

For the preparation of civil services exam, continuous revision is very important and this strategy helped me in scoring well in the exam, said Jain.

Jain’s father and mother are doctors in Bhopal.

Another candidate Pradeep Singh, 23, from Indore secured 26th rank in the examinations. Pradeep is presently under training as an Indian Revenue Service officer in Indore.

Pradeep’s father Manoj Singh, who used to work as petrol pump attendant in Indore, had left the job after his selection in Indian Revenue Services in UPSC Civil Services Exam 2018.

Pradeep said, “I saw so many dreams to serve my nation and to bring a positive change in the society and that could be achieved only as an IAS officer. After selecting as an IRS officer, I didn’t stop my preparation and appeared in the exam again to fulfill my dream.”

“I am happy that my father’s sacrifice didn’t go in a vain.

My father sold his only house in Indore in 2017 to send me to Delhi for the preparation of civil services exam,” he added.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Shruti Tomar
I have spent over a decade chronicling Madhya Pradesh’s political and social landscape, covering politics, investigative journalism, crime, human interest, and government policy, blending sharp insight with ground‑level depth. I have closely tracked three assembly elections, three Lok Sabha elections, leadership transitions in MP while exposing governance lapses, tender irregularities, and flawed policy rollouts. My reports have revealed gaps in the Cheetah project, irregularities in medical education, rigging in recruitment exams, and loopholes in policy implementation. In crime reporting, I have moved beyond FIRs to map systemic patterns — from organised crime networks and gender‑based violence to custodial accountability — balancing urgency with sensitivity. My journalism is defined by a commitment to human interest. I have profiled the marginalised Bancchda community, documented atrocities against tribal groups, and highlighted efforts to preserve their culture through heritage liquor and revival of spiritual practices. I have reported on farmers struggling with failed MSP promises, giving voice to those often reduced to statistics in policy files. Passionate about field reporting, I have reported on rampant sand mining in Chambal and Narmada, pharmaceutical companies supplying medicines under altered names, the dire condition of schools and colleges, the plight of commercial sex workers, and skewed sex ratios in specific districts. Beyond deadlines, and as HT’s state correspondent and assistant editor in Madhya Pradesh, I engage with ministers, farmers, students, and activists, believing the best policy stories begin with a single human voice. A postgraduate in Journalism and Mass Communication, I also hold a diploma in sports journalism.Read More
