CSE 2024 final result
13 out of the Top 25 in UPSC CSE 2024 are repeaters, having featured in the final recommended lists in at least one of the previous four years (2020–2023)
UPSC‑CSE 2024 Repeaters – Quick Highlights
📊 283 candidates in the 2024 final list had already cracked CSE earlier (2020‑23) – that’s ≈28 % of this year’s merit list.
🔄 166 repeaters are fresh from the 2023 batch, showing the “upgrade‑service” trend.
📅 Smaller numbers returned from 2022 (116), 2021 (35) and 2020 (24) – most officers settle once training starts.
🏆 34 repeaters landed in the Top 100 ranks this year; experience clearly boosts scores.
🕒 82 % of repeaters had just one previous appearance; only 52 showed up for the 3rd/4th time.
📈 Median rank of repeaters is 455, but they’re spread right up to Rank 3 – perseverance can pay big.
💡 Take‑away: re‑attempts are common for IAS/IFS dreams or home‑cadre goals – newcomers compete with seasoned officers, so strategy + practice matter!

Leaf litter decomposes faster than in any other biome and as a result the soil surface is often almost bare. Apart from trees, the vegetation is largely composed of plant forms that reach up into the canopy vicariously, by climbing the trees or growing as epiphytes, rooted on the upper branches of trees.
