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.

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."
