Satyendranath Tagore was the first Indian to qualify for the Indian Civil Service (ICS).

He achieved this feat in 1863, breaking the European monopoly on the prestigious service.

The Indian Civil Service was the administrative service of British India. Its entry exam, held in London, was highly competitive and challenging for Indians due to various discriminatory practices, including the age limit and the nature of the syllabus. Other prominent Indians who later joined the ICS included Surendranath Banerjee, Romesh Chunder Dutt, and later, Subhas Chandra Bose (who resigned).
