RCA Shines in UPSC CSE 2024: 32 Candidates Selected, Alfred Thomas Tops with AIR 33
New Delhi, April 22, 2025 — In a remarkable achievement, Jamia Millia Islamia’s Residential Coaching Academy (RCA) has once again proven its mettle in the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Civil Services Examination 2024. Out of 78 students from RCA who appeared in the interview round, an impressive 32 candidates have been finally selected for various prestigious services under the civil services umbrella.
Alfred Thomas Leads RCA’s Stellar Performance
Alfred Thomas has emerged as the top performer from RCA this year, securing All India Rank (AIR) 33 in the UPSC CSE 2024. His stellar performance not only reflects his dedication and hard work but also underscores RCA’s consistent legacy in mentoring top-ranking aspirants. Alfred’s success story is expected to inspire many future civil service aspirants, especially those availing themselves of institutional support systems like RCA.
Close on Alfred’s heels is Iram Choudhary, who has secured AIR 40, followed by Ruchika Jha with AIR 51. Their ranks are indicative of RCA’s ability to nurture top-tier talent and provide the academic and moral support needed for success in one of the country’s most competitive examinations.
Empowering Women Through Education
Of the 32 candidates selected from RCA, 12 are women—another testament to the academy’s emphasis on gender inclusion and empowerment. The result also mirrors the broader trend observed this year where women have made significant strides in the final results. Notably, the top two ranks in the UPSC CSE 2024 have been secured by women: Shakti Dubey (Rank 1) and Harshita Goyal (Rank 2), setting a powerful precedent for aspirants across the country.
Comprehensive Support for Aspirants
RCA’s success lies in its holistic approach to preparation. From free coaching and residential facilities to expert faculty and rigorous mock interview sessions, the academy provides an enabling environment for aspirants, especially those from minority and marginalized communities. This year’s results reinforce RCA’s role as a catalyst for social transformation through education.
The selection of 32 candidates out of 78 interviewees is not just a numerical feat; it highlights the academy’s efficiency and targeted mentorship programs. According to the press release from Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI), several of the selected candidates are likely to be allotted the coveted Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and Indian Police Service (IPS), while others may join equally prestigious services like the Indian Revenue Service (IRS), Indian Railway Traffic Service (IRTS), and other Group-A services depending on their ranks and preferences.
Words of Appreciation from University Leadership
Prof. Mazhar Asif, the Vice Chancellor of JMI, along with Registrar Prof. Md. Mahtab Alam Rizvi, extended heartfelt congratulations to all the successful candidates. They lauded the dedication of the students and the continuous efforts of the RCA faculty and administration in achieving these outstanding results.
“This is not just a moment of pride for Jamia but also a testament to the vision of inclusive and quality education. RCA has once again demonstrated how proper guidance and hard work can bring transformative results,” said Prof. Asif.
A Legacy of Excellence
RCA has had a history of producing top UPSC performers. Shruti Sharma, the UPSC CSE 2021 topper, was also a star performer from RCA. Her success had already established RCA as a hub of UPSC excellence, and this year’s outcome has further cemented its reputation. The consistency in producing high-ranking candidates showcases the institution’s commitment to academic rigor and mentorship.
Concluding Note
The UPSC Civil Services Examination is often seen as a gateway to India’s most esteemed administrative roles. In this high-stakes competition, Jamia Millia Islamia’s Residential Coaching Academy continues to play a pivotal role in shaping future leaders. With aspirants like Alfred Thomas leading from the front, RCA stands tall as a beacon of opportunity and excellence in public service preparation.
