Kolkata: Five candidates from the Satyendra Nath Tagore Civil Services Study Centre (SNTCSSC), run by the state government in Salt Lake, have been successfully placed in the final merit list of the UPSC Civil Services Examination 2024.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee congratulated and offered her best wishes to the candidates who achieved
brilliant results in the examination with coaching assistance
from SNTCSSC. “Meghna Chakrabarty (79), Sahars Kumar (153), Paramita Malakar (477), Rajdeep Ghosh (789) and Praveen Kumar (837) got our state governmental coaching and have brought laurels for us by getting impressive ranks as mentioned in the brackets.
They are likely to enter IAS/ IPS/ other top services. There are others also from West Bengal who have succeeded in cracking the all-India examinations and should similarly get into apex services now.
Kudos boys and girls for these feats. Government of West Bengal is with you!”
