This year’s topper of civil services examination, Tina Dabi, secured just little over 52 per cent marks, reflecting the strict evaluation yardstick adopted by the UPSC in conduct of the prestigious test to select the country’s top bureaucrats.
“The marks reflect the strict pattern maintained by the UPSC while selecting the country’s top bureaucrats,” said a senior official in the department of personnel and that acts as the nodal authority for the UPSC.
Twenty-two-year-old Tina, a graduate from New Delhi’s Lady Shri Ram College, topped the 2015 civil services exam securing 1,063 marks (52.49 per cent) out of a total of 2,025, comprising 1,750 for the mains and 275 for the interview. According to the UPSC, second ranked Athar Aamir Ul Shafi Khan from J&K got 1,018 marks (50.27 per cent) and third rank holder Jasmeet Singh Sandhu secured 1,014 marks (50.07 per cent).
