The results, announced on April 22, 2025, highlight the achievements of several aspirants from the state, who secured top ranks in one of India’s most prestigious and competitive exams.

Leading the charge is Ettaboyina Sai Shivani from Warangal (Urban), who achieved an impressive All India Rank (AIR) 11, earning accolades from across the state.

In total, seven candidates from Telangana figured in the final list of 1,009 successful candidates. Other notable achievers include Sai Chaitanya Jadhav (AIR 68), Sai Vinod Krishna B (AIR 577), and Srinikesh Naik B (AIR 938).

Humble and middle-class backgrounds

Telangana’s strong performance this year is part of a larger trend: candidates from both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh secured a combined total of 33 ranks, including more than 13 in the top 100.
