Bhubaneswar: Jubin Mohapatra of Bhubaneswar has ranked 46th in Civil Services Examination 2020, the result of which was declared by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) on Friday.
Computer science engineering and an MBA later, he worked in the corporate sector for about five years. He started preparing for the exam in July 2017 alongside his job.
Jubin’s consistent effort has yielded results as he had secured the 379th and 235th ranks in 2019 and 2018 respectively. He had become an IPS officer in the first attempt. The rank in the second attempt could not get him to IAS, which he was aspiring for. He is happy that the 46th rank will finally help him become an IAS officer.
A resident of Patrapada in the city, Jubin has dedicated this success to his mother, whom he lost to COVID recently.
The other two Odias in the first 100 are Ashish Kumar Mishra (52) and Subhankar Bala (79).
