For those who were only a few points behind in the civil service test for 2023 but were hoping to make the Union Public Service Commission, there is some good news. In a statement, Ditto Insurance, an insurance technology business supported by Nithin Kamath's Zerodha, said that these candidates are welcome to become members of its advisory board.
"We are giving applications from previous UPSC candidates first priority because we recognize the effort and dedication you have put out. We now have a dedicated hiring process tailored just for former UPSC aspirants," remarked Bhanu Harish Gurram, Co-founder at Ditto.
The co-founder highlighted that one of the hardest exams in the nation is taken by over 1.2 million students annually. Only 800 candidates, or a small percentage of all students taking the exam, are selected for the final list.
Even if they study for the exam for years, just a small fraction of students succeed on it annually.Gurram claimed to have seen people preparing for the test firsthand.
Gurram urged people who were unable to attend this time to look into alternative opportunities, expressing empathy for their situation.Additionally, he stated that past job experience is not a requirement for these candidates to join Ditto.
"Join our insurance advising team at @joinditto, and we'll help you from the beginning to the end. It doesn't need any prior experience," he stated.
On April 16, the UPSC announced the Civil Services Examination final results. For the positions of Indian Administrative Services, Indian Foreign Services, Indian Police Services, and Central Services, about 1016 applicants have been nominated for appointment.
