Bhubaneswar: Candidates from the state who have cracked the Civil Services Examination (CSE)-2023 have attributed their success to consistency and proper planning in their exam preparations.
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) declared the CSE-2023 results on Tuesday and around 12 candidates from the state have qualified the prestigious exam. Apart from Animesh Pradhan who secured All India Rank 2, Prashandandan Giri and Ayushi Pradhan have qualified the exam and secured 24th and 36th rank respectively.

Ayushi Pradhan of Bhubaneswar has improved her rank from 334 in CSE-2022 to 36th in CSE-2023. This was his third attempt with Anthropology as an optional subject in all attempts. A computer science student of the 2019-batch of CET, she was training for Indian Enterprise Development Services (IEDS) based on her 2022 rank before appearing for Mains in 2023.
“In previous attempts, my understanding of anthropology was not good, but I dedicated all my time to preparing for the subject during the 2023 attempt,” said Ayushi, who relied on online coaching and test series for the exam.
For Prajanandan, who is currently the Deputy Collector of Bargarh, this was his third attempt at CSE. While he had cleared the prelims in all his previous attempts and even appeared for the interview in 2021, he failed to clear the eight-mark exam.
