Kolkata: Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday informed that several government-trained candidates from the state have fared very well in the prestigious UPSC civil service examinations 2025, with girls securing about half of the coveted top berths.

She expressed her happiness over providing highly subsidised coaching support to the candidates from the state-run Satyendra Nath Tagore Civil Services Study Centre. “In our time, we set up this Institute, and I am feeling proud,” she posted.

There are also others from West Bengal who have succeeded in this all-India examination and are expected to enter the apex services,” Banerjee wrote.
She further stated that the state government’s encouragement and constant care have inspired the youth, and this achievement will in turn, encourage many more to aspire for All-India competitive examinations from West Bengal.
