UPSC AIR 7 Topper A.R. Raja Mohideen: How I Conquered Prelims After Two Failures
•A.R. Raja Mohideen, who secured AIR 7 in UPSC this year, had failed Prelims twice before achieving his rank.
•He changed his strategy by carefully reading question language and practicing Prelims questions from the last 30 years.
•Shahrukh Khan (Rank 575, UPSC 2025) identifies Prelims as the toughest stage, stressing right focus, consistent study, and understanding negative marking.
•Shadab Ali Khan (Rank 415, UPSC 2025) highlights CSAT as a challenge, noting it's a qualifying paper (33% or 66 marks) and not to attempt all questions.
•Mohideen advises candidates to read every question carefully, as old questions often reappear with altered language.
