UPSC’s Civil Services 2025 results on March 6 unveiled 958 new officers, but rank 301 has become a puzzle. Two candidates named Akanksha Singh are at odds, one from Bihar tied to a notorious legacy, the other from UP with solid evidence.
The Bihar contender, granddaughter of Barmeshwar Singh (Ranvir Sena head), garnered initial acclaim. Yet Ghazipur’s Akanksha Singh fired back on Facebook, sharing her interview admit card. QR scan matches UPSC’s official roll number perfectly.
The competing card from Bihar? Preliminary exam version, with mismatched QR data, casting doubts on its relevance to finals.
Viral posts and heated exchanges dominate platforms, awaiting UPSC’s stance—no comment yet, possibly Monday. Mukhiya’s kin silent too.
Selections stats: 317 general, 104 EWS, 306 OBC, 158 SC, 71 ST. This incident probes deeper into identity verification flaws in mega-exams.
It challenges narratives around privilege and merit, especially with Ranvir Sena’s shadow. Clarity from authorities will be pivotal, potentially reshaping perceptions of this year’s toppers.
