Despite Unrest, An Impressive 14 Students From Jammu & Kashmir Qualify UPSC Civil Services

Kashmir’s students have hit the headlines for another reason, as pen and paper replace the stones that the Valley’s youth are increasingly being identified with.

The news that 14 Jammu and Kashmir students—one of them a head constable’s son—have cleared the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) civil services examination was greeted with elation and congratulatory messages for the successful candidates.

32-years-old Bilal Mohidin who hails from Haripora Unisoo village in North Kashmir’s Langate area, bagged the 10th position. This was Bilal’s fourth attempt for UPSC.

“I was hopeful, but couldn’t believe it when I was told that I had come 10th. Besides my parents, the credit also goes to my wife, who is an officer in the Karnataka Administrative Service,” Mohidin told The Indian Express.

Other Achievers:

  • Bisma Kazii, an engineer from Rambagh, Srinagar cleared the exam in her second attempt and secured the 115th rank.
  • Twenty-six-year-old Suhail Qasim Mir, whose father Mohammad Qasim Mir is a head constable in Srinagar, succeeded in his first attempt to clear the examination, standing at 125th rank
  • Apart from them, Zafar Iqbal secured 39th,Fakruddin 85th, Bisma Qazi 115th, Suhail 125th, Faisal Javed 210th, Inayat Khaliq 604th, , Anayat Choudhary 808th, Saqib 472nd, Sahil Dhingra 917th and Viren bhagat 917th. Aditya Bhardwaj and Akhil Mahajan are also part of list.

Appreciation and applaudes

Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti took to Facebook to congratulate the candidates.

Former CM Omar Abdullah also congratulated them through a tweet

Director general of state police (DGP) S.P. Vaid sent a special message to Suhail, while he wished each successful candidate from the state a bright future, a police spokesman said.

The success of the 14 candidates comes at a time of acute unrest in the valley, with students taking to the streets, mostly in protest against alleged excesses by security forces.

According to reports, last year, 12 candidates from the state passed the UPSC Civil Services examination.
