New Delhi:The top rankers of this year's Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) examination, Kanishk Kataria, Akshat Jain, and Junaid Ahmad, expressed gratitude to their respective families while confessing that they were surprised by the achievement.
Speaking to media, Kanishk, who hails from Rajasthan, said, "It is a very surprising moment. I never expected to get the first rank. I thank my parents, sister and my girlfriend for the help and moral support. People will expect me to be a good administrator and that's exactly my intention."
Akshat, who also hails from Rajasthan, said, "I want to give credit for this achievement to God, my family, and my friends, for always supporting me. I had to study a lot, but it doesn't mean that I was working like a machine. I used to take breaks and go out with my friends."
Junaid, a native of Madhya Pradesh, said, "I had a few books suggested by seniors that helped in creating a base. But the internet helps you a lot, everything is available online. Productive use of the internet helped me. I expected to be in the list but never expected the third rank."
