IGNOU student ranks seventh in UPSC exams

New Delhi: A 21-year-old post graduate student of the Indira Gandhi
National Open University (IGNOU) has secured the seventh rank in the
Civil Services 2010 examination, an IGNOU official said on Friday.

Karthik Gurunathan Iyer of Nagpur has cleared the examination in his
first attempt using IGNOU's course material, the official said.

Iyer chose Political Science as the optional subject for preliminary
examination and International Relations for the main examination.

"While it took time and effort to complete reading the IGNOU books,
they surely boosted my performance and helped me in getting good
marks," said Iyer.

"The university helped me in proving that attending grueling coaching
sessions in Delhi is not the only way to prepare for the UPSC exams.
Good reading material coupled with hard work and determination can
also surely take you there," he added. IANS
