Udupi, Mar 7: Shreyans Gomes of Udupi has secured the 169th rank in the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Civil Services Examination 2025. He is among the 25 candidates selected for various positions from the state of Karnataka. The final results were announced on Friday, March 6, 2026.
Shreyans Gomes, in his third attempt last year, had secured the 372nd rank in 2024–25 without enrolling in any physical coaching institute.
Born in Murudeshwar in Uttara Kannada district to Santyag Juje Gomes and Mable Shanthi Gomes, Shreyans completed his early schooling in his hometown before moving to Alva’s College, Moodbidri, for his pre-university education. He later pursued engineering at the prestigious R V College of Engineering, Bengaluru.
His father is a station master with Konkan Railways, while his mother is a homemaker. His younger brother, Shreyith Gomes, is currently studying in Manipal.
It was during his engineering days that Shreyans developed a deep interest in civil services. Motivated by a desire to serve the nation and inspired by the power of administration, he decided to appear for the UPSC exams, a path he chose entirely on his own initiative.
In his first attempt, Shreyans successfully cleared the preliminary exam but could not get through the mains. His second attempt ended at the preliminary stage. However, undeterred by these setbacks, he continued his preparation with renewed focus and strategy.
In his third attempt, he cleared all three stages — prelims, mains, and the interview — successfully. Notably, his entire preparation was done online, utilizing digital platforms and self-study.
To improve his ranking, he made a fourth attempt and has now successfully secured the 169th rank.
