Akansh Dhull secured All India Rank 3 in the UPSC Civil Services Examination 2025, making him one of the youngest top-3 rankers in UPSC history. A B.Com (Hons) graduate from Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), Delhi University, he chose Commerce & Accountancy as his optional subject. His rank progression across attempts — AIR 342 (2023) → AIR 295 (2024) → AIR 3 (2025) — is a textbook example of systematic improvement. He is the son of Krishan Dhull, a BJP leader in Haryana, but credits his success to his own hard work and discipline rather than privilege.

How they prepared for UPSC CSE 2025
Akansh Dhull was born in Rohtak, Haryana and raised in Panchkula (Chandigarh region). He completed his Class 10 from St. Kabir Public School, Chandigarh with a 10/10 CGPA, and Class 12 from Bhavan Vidyalaya, Chandigarh with 98%. He then pursued B.Com (Hons) from Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), Delhi University, graduating with an 8.5 CGPA in 2022. Despite a campus placement opportunity, he chose to pursue civil services — a decision driven by a childhood ambition to serve the nation.
| Attempt | Year | Rank | Key Learning | |---------|------|------|-------------| | 1st | 2023 | AIR 342 | Understood the exam pattern and syllabus depth | | 2nd | 2024 | AIR 295 | Improved answer writing and current affairs integration | | 3rd | 2025 | AIR 3 | Mastered revision strategy and mock practice |
Akansh chose Commerce & Accountancy, leveraging his SRCC commerce background. He scored a total of 267 marks (Paper 1: 136, Paper 2: 131). His commerce foundation gave him a natural advantage in financial accounting, corporate law, and business economics — topics that also helped him in the interview when discussing fiscal policy and public sector enterprises.
"I come from privilege, but I worked hard. Service was nurtured in my family, but the effort was mine. Don't let your background define your ceiling — let your discipline define it."
