Three aspiring civil servants from Meghalaya have cleared their Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) preliminaries and will now prepare intensely for the mains in September.
The three are Nidakyrkhu Dkhar, Anmiel Azareel Syiem and Thomas Edison Sumer. They all received support from the All India Services Pre-Examination Training Centre at the Meghalaya Administrative Training Institute (MATI), Mawdiangdiang.
The institute is housed on the MATI campus in Mawdiangdiang and provides coaching for over 125 students every year, with hostel space for 75.
Faculty from major Indian cities come for online and offline classes here regularly, a press release stated today, and test batches are conducted at regular intervals.
The institute will now arrange for mains preparation for the three so that they can clear the next two-step process. More than 10 lakh students applied for the UPSC examination, of which only 14,000 made it to the mains.
