💡 For Those Who Couldn’t Make It This Year:

To all the determined aspirants who gave their all but didn’t make it this time — this is just a chapter in your journey, not the end of the road. UPSC is a challenging path, but remember, every setback is a setup for a comeback.

Many successful candidates didn’t clear in their first or second attempt. What differentiates them is resilience — the ability to learn, adapt, and come back stronger, year after year.

Your efforts are never in vain. Each attempt teaches you something new, pushing you closer to your goal. Take the time to reflect, reset, and strategize for your next attempt. Keep moving forward!

“It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up.” – Vince Lombardi

Stay focused, stay positive, and keep believing in yourself. Success is not just about reaching the destination, but about the strength you gain on the way.

UPSC CSE 2024 Repeaters: Proof That Luck Is Not a Factor!

13 out of the Top 25 candidates in UPSC CSE 2024 are repeaters, meaning they have appeared in the final list in previous years (2020-2023). This proves that luck has nothing to do with it. Hard work and consistency are what make a difference! Here’s a quick look at the repeaters’ success:

UPSC CSE 2024 Repeaters – Quick Highlights

📊 283 candidates in the 2024 final list had already appeared in CSE 2020-2023 — ≈28% of this year’s merit list.

🔄 166 repeaters are fresh from the 2023 batch, showing the “upgrade-service” trend — they came back stronger.

📅 Smaller numbers returned from 2022 (116), 2021 (35), and 2020 (24) — most officers settle once training begins.

🏆 34 repeaters landed in the Top 100 ranks this year — experience clearly boosts scores.

🕒 82% of repeaters had just one previous attempt, while only 52 candidates appeared for their 3rd or 4th attempt.

📈 The median rank of repeaters is 455, but they are spread right up to Rank 3 — perseverance pays off!

💡 Key Takeaway: Re-attempts are common for those aiming for IAS/IFS dreams or specific home-cadre goals. Newcomers face seasoned officers, so strategy and practice matter!
