A 2017 report by the online news portal YugaParivartan came out with a startling find that Muslim candidates on an average get 13 marks higher in the interview stage than the candidates from other communities in the UPSC Civil Services Examination.
Recently the results of Civil Services Examination 2019 were released. Media reports stated that 42 Muslim candidates made it to the rank list this year, a significant increase from 28 last year.
In 2016 and 2017, 50 made it to the rank list marking a record. Taking this as cue, the YugaParivartan in 2017 came out with a statistical analysis report that showed the substantial difference in marks scored by Muslims at the interview stage vis a vis other communities. Of the 1099 successful candidates who cleared the exam that year, they had used data of the first 525 candidates.
The report said that although there are only 20 Muslim candidates in the first 525 ranks, they seem to get higher marks than the average in the interview stage. The average marks scored by the candidates in the interview stage during CSE 2016 exam was 167.

It also noted that those Muslims who made it to the top 525 scored 13 marks more than general candidates in the interview stage. On the other hand, SC and OBC candidates got less marks in the interview stage, 6.65 2.6 marks more respectively. Muslims on an average got 8.7% higher marks than other candidates in the interview stage, the report by YugaParivartan highlighted.

It is to be noted that of the 42 Muslims candidates who made it this year, 27 are from Zakat Foundation. Zakat Foundation is run by Muhammad Jafer Qureshi. His colleague Syed Zafar Mahmood serves as the President. Zafar Mahmood on behalf of Zakat Foundation had publicly opposed the ban on Popular Front of India in 2018. Apart from this, Qureshi is a trustee of the Al-Khair Foundation, a charity that runs that radical television station IQRA TV. Qureshi also has ties with Islamic Salafi preacher Zakir Naik.
It is this Zakat Foundation that grooms Muslims for cracking the UPSC exams.
