The candidates were felicitated by the study centre on Friday (May 30, 2025) after the lists were published in May 2025. 50% of the candidates who have cracked the UPSC Civil Services Examination from West Bengal hail from this centre.
The government-run study centre candidates who have made it to the final list are Meghna Chakravorty, Sahars Kumar, Paramita Malakar, Rajdeep Ghosh, and Praveen Kumar.
'We are also happy to share that 54 students of SNTCSSC had cleared UPSC CSE 2024 Prelims. 17 candidates from SNTCSSC had appeared for the UPSC CSE 2024 Personality Test and ultimately 5 of them have made it to the final list of UPSC CSE 2024,' an official statement from the study centre said.
