No, "achived" is always incorrect. The proper spelling always includes the "e."
Think of the base word "achieve" and add "ed" - it's "a-chieved" with an "e."
Achieved is the correct spelling, featuring an "e" that is essential to the word's proper form. This word means to have successfully completed or accomplished something. The misspelling achived (missing the "e") is incorrect and should be avoided in all formal writing contexts. Remember: achieve + ed = achieved (keep the e)
