Out of nearly 10 lakh applicants, over 5.8 lakh appeared for the preliminary examination held in June 2024, and only a little over 1,000 candidates made the final cut. Among the selected candidates, 87 are from the Scheduled Tribes, including Messar and Manku, further highlighting the growing representation from the Northeast in the country’s top administrative services.

Their success is being celebrated across Arunachal Pradesh as an inspiration for youth from remote regions to pursue their dreams in public service.
