Three alumni of Lucknow Public School (C.P. Singh Foundation) have made Lucknow proud by cracking the prestigious Union Public Service Commission Civil Services Examination 2025 with impressive ranks, inspiring a new generation of civil services aspirants in the city.

Three Alumni Bring Glory to LPS

Aditya Hriday Upadhyay secured All India Rank (AIR) 154, Adarsh Pandey achieved AIR 347, and Ayushi Upadhyay earned AIR 361, marking a significant milestone for the institution and inspiring countless civil services aspirants.

A special highlight of this achievement is the success of siblings Aditya and Ayushi, who motivated and guided each other throughout their UPSC preparation despite studying different subjects. Their shared determination turned their dream of serving the nation into reality.

Aditya Hriday Upadhyay, an alumnus of the Sector-I branch, completed his Intermediate in 2017 before pursuing B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. His dedication to civil services had earlier earned him selection in the Indian Revenue Service (IRS) and Indian Telecommunication Service (ITS), and he is currently undergoing training in the Income Tax Department.

His sister Ayushi Upadhyay, from the South City branch, secured AIR 361. A former academic topper with 99.4% marks in Intermediate, she studied law at National Law University Delhi and is currently practicing at the Lucknow High Court. Inspired by public service and guided by her father Surya Prakash Upadhyay, she now aspires to join the Indian Administrative Service (IAS).

Discipline and Strategy Lead to Success

Adarsh Pandey from the Jankipuram branch secured AIR 347, demonstrating that discipline and consistent effort are key to success. After completing LLB (Hons), he is currently undergoing training for the Indian Postal Service in Ghaziabad and credits his achievement to a clear strategy, disciplined routine and self-study.

School Director Rashmi Pathak said the results reflect the institution’s strong academic culture and values, while Manager Lokesh Singh added that the success of these students sends a powerful message to young aspirants that hard work, planning and determination can turn even the toughest goals into reality.

The management and faculty congratulated the achievers and their families, expressing confidence that the trio will serve the nation with dedication and integrity.
