Anudeep Durishetty
AIR 1, Civil Services Examination 2017
Anudeep Durishetty did not top the Civil Services Examination on his first try. He attempted it several times, and has spoken publicly about how each attempt taught him something concrete about where his answers were falling short.
The turning point he has described was not a new shortcut — it was disciplined, repeated answer-writing practice, paired with honest review of his own past mistakes, until his writing consistently addressed what an examiner was actually looking for.
