Reportedly, Waghmare is the only candidate from Maharashtra to succeed in the IES exam out of the total 12 recommended candidates by UPSC.
Based on the results of the written examination of the Indian Economic Service / Indian Statistical Service Examination, 2025, held by the UPSC from June 20 to 22, 2025, followed by interviews for the Personality Test in September 2025. The lists, in order of merit, of the candidates who have been recommended for appointment to the posts in the Indian Economic Service and the Indian Statistical Service were declared on September 30, 2025.
