The selected students appeared at the main examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) in January this year, followed by personality tests taken in the months of August and September, the statement said.
Congratulating the students who qualified, JMI Vice Chancellor Najma Akhtar attributed their selection to their hardwork, and teachers, staff members of RCA and other faculties of JMI for their valuable services.
