Raja Azhar from Uri repeats UPSC success with improved rank

Srinagar, March 8,2026- In an inspiring achievement for Jammu and Kashmir, Raja Azhar, a young aspirant from Uri in Baramulla district, has once again cleared the prestigious Union Public Service Commission Civil Services Examination (UPSC) and improved his rank in the latest results.

Over the past few years, several candidates from Jammu and Kashmir have been making their mark in national-level competitive examinations, reflecting a positive shift in educational aspirations across the region. Raja Azhar’s achievement further adds to this growing list of success stories.

His accomplishment is expected to encourage many aspiring civil servants from the Valley, particularly those from border areas like Uri, to remain focused and determined in their preparation for one of India’s most prestigious examinations.
