This is yet another example of hard work and persistence paying off. At the age of 22, the IAS officer by the name of Ankur Garg not only cracked his UPSC exams but also topped them like a boss. To his success, he has been awarded 171 out of 170 marks in the final exam of the macroeconomics course, which is a part of the two-year Master's programme in Public Administration in International Development that he is pursuing at Harvard University in the USA.
You might be thinking that it is a mistake! No, it's not! Ankur Garg has indeed scored an extra mark above the total marks, and what's the best part is that Jeffrey Frankel, a renowned international macroeconomist, signed on this report card, gave a proof of this outstanding result.
"When I was in school, my father used to say—10 out of 10 isn't good enough in any exam. Always strive for 11 out of 10. I hardly understood how that's done. In the last phase (possibly!) of student life now, I end up getting this score (171 out of 170) in the final exam of the macroeconomics course. The icing on the cake—it comes at Harvard and is signed by Jeffrey Frankel himself!" he wrote on his Facebook wall
