He also said that they didn’t expect him to top the examinations and this news took them by complete surprise.

Speaking to IANS, he said, “Aditya called and informed me that the result was unexpected. I thought he ranked within the top 50, but he replied that he was AIR 1.”

He also informed that Aditya cleared many national-level competitions including NTS, Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVPY) and Regional Mathematical Olympiad and this made them believe that he would be able to crack the UPSC exam but didn’t anticipate him topping the exams.

UPSC topper Aditya Srivastava has also been excellent in academics. He scored 95 per cent marks in Class 12th examinations and then went to study in the IITs.
