Chitraang went on to pursue his BS from MIT and is now doing his PhD at UC Berkeley. Meanwhile Sarthak topped CBSE, SRCC, studied at Oxford, worked at World Bank and now is an IAS officer.

But what I most like he is well informed for most of the case, humble and polite; he knows when to push the subject and when to back out and also there is a certain charm in him. Although it his first time for upsc interview unlike other toppers he is not nervous, hesitant and cautious as he said he enjoyed the process. I am really looking forward for his future as a civil servant.
