The IAS Topper, born in Patiala Punjab is on a spree to break all kinds of records.

Ankur Garg, a pass out of prestigious IIT Delhi, topped IAS exam at the age of 22 making him one of the youngest persons to clear IAS exam.

ANKUR GARG shares “When I was in school, my father used to say – 10 out of 10 isn’t good enough in any exam. Always strive for 11 out of 10. I hardly understood how that’s done.

In the last phase (possibly!) of student life now, I end up getting this score (171 out of 170) in the final exam of the macroeconomics course. The icing on the cake – it comes at Harvard and is signed by Jeffrey Frankel himself!

This one is for you, dad.”

The exam was part of ‘International Development’ programme Mr Garg is currently pursuing at Harvard University.
