examination.

list, ensuring her selection for the Indian Administrative Service

Ruveda Salam Bajard, Vikas Kundal, Anchita Pandoh and Ifftekhar
Ahmad Choudhary.
Of the selected 11 candidates from the state this year, eight
belong to the valley and three to the Jammu region.
Having overcome their "shyness" to sit for the prestigious exams,
young men and women from Jammu and Kashmir have been bringing
laurels to the state by passing the test regularly for the last
five years.
Given the state's 10.25 million people, the ratio of selected
candidates this year is higher than that of Bihar, from where
candidates have been making it to the civil services selected list
in relatively large numbers.
A local doctor, Shah Faesal, had topped the civil services
examination in 2009. Faesal belongs to the north Kashmir Kupwara
district.
He has been allotted his home state cadre, and at present serves
in south Kashmir's Pulwama district.
