How the mix-up happened
Things got confusing when Akanksha Singh from Bihar publicly claimed the result and appeared in media interviews, leading to widespread attention and online confusion and some head-scratching online.
To clear things up, the Ghazipur candidate posted her roll number and documents as proof.
On March 9, 2026, UPSC made it official: it's Akanksha Singh from Abhaipur village in Ghazipur who earned rank 301.
This little saga is a reminder to double-check viral claims, especially with competitive exams that hundreds of thousands of candidates and many members of the public follow closely.
It also shows how quickly information (and confusion) can spread online, making official confirmation more important than ever.
