Anmol Rathore: Meet The JKAS 2023 Topper

by Syed Shadab Ali Gillani

SRINAGAR: Aiming high with aspirations in administrative services, Anmol Rathore, a law graduate from Gujarat National Law University, Gandhinagar, and hailing from Udrana village of Bhadarwah, has achieved a top rank in the Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission’s (JKPSC) Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) – 2022.

Having completed her schooling at GD Goenka Public School in Jammu, Anmol shares how the desire to excel in the Jammu and Kashmir Administrative Services (JKAS) exams took hold during her university days. “Given the demanding schedule I had during my time at the university, I knew that preparing would pose some challenges. However, upon my graduation in 2021, I discovered ample online resources, including YouTube channels, which I used for self-study. I realized that my foundational concepts were already clear. For me, the main impetus required was self-motivation for independent study.”

Anmol identifies herself as an amateur writer who has utilized writing and poetry as a means of expressing her emotions. “I began writing poetry back in school. I’ve authored two books, ‘Songs from The Saffron Valley’ and ‘An Unknown Face on Poetry,’ in addition to several articles,” she explains. “Every person possesses dual facets; perpetual practicality isn’t feasible. Occasionally, imagination holds importance too. Balancing life demands embracing imagination.”

She acknowledges the inspiration drawn from various authors and writers. “I’ve delved into the works of numerous remarkable authors, and their creativity has served as my inspiration.”

Anmol also credits several public servants, including Dr Sehrish Asgar, as a source of motivation. “Dr Sehrish Asgar is particularly inspiring to me because of her connection to my mother’s hometown. She has always been a role model.”

Anmol advises students to evaluate their need for guidance, whether through coaching or general online resources, based on their grasp of foundational concepts. “I found the available online resources sufficient for my needs. Consequently, I leaned towards online materials for more in-depth study.”

Detailing the strategy that helped her cope with extended study hours, Anmol says, “My recommendations echo the expectations of any aspirant aiming to crack the exam. Start with the fundamental NCERT books. I tackled numerous previous years’ question papers for practice. Additionally, working through practice sets and test series for both the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) and JKPSC establishes a strong foundation, guiding one’s trajectory. Ultimately, consistent revision proves invaluable, so make revision a priority.”

Anmol attributes her success to the values of hard work and discipline. She expresses heartfelt gratitude to her parents: her father, Rajeev Rathore, a banker with Jammu and Kashmir Bank, and her mother, a teacher, for their unwavering support in accomplishing this feat. “They consistently encouraged me to maintain discipline and diligence.”

She also extends words of encouragement to aspirants who didn’t qualify this year. “To all who fell short this year, don’t lose heart or determination. Your reservoir of knowledge is vast, and excellence can be achieved in various domains.”
