How PW Helped Abuzar Umar Secure Rank 24 in CBI PP 2025 in His First Attempt

Abuzar Umar, a PW student, secured Rank 24 in the CBI Public Prosecutor (CBI PP) 2025 examination in his first attempt. His success came after years of preparing for judicial examinations while continuing his legal practice. 

After facing several setbacks, he continued exploring new opportunities and focused on strengthening his preparation with PW Judiciary. His journey shows how consistent preparation, practice, the right guidance, and a positive mindset can help law aspirants achieve their goals.

How PW Helped Abuzar Prepare for the Interview

After clearing the written examination, Abuzar faced a gap of around six months before the interview. During this period, he felt that he had forgotten some of what he had studied.

He appeared for PW’s mock interview to assess his actual preparation level.

“Main chahta tha ki bhai main kahan stand kar raha hoon, woh mujhe jaan-na zaroori hai. I’m going to appear in the UPSC interview.”

The PW team provided detailed feedback and suggested areas such as PMLA, CBI, ED, new criminal laws, and recent judgments.

Abuzar said:

“Unhone mujhe reality mein dikha diya ki main kahan stand kar raha hoon aur kahan mujhe jaana hai.”

This helped him identify his weak areas and prepare more strategically for the UPSC interview.

Abuzar’s CBI PP Preparation Strategy

Abuzar believes that bare acts should form the foundation of CBI PP preparation. He emphasised the importance of understanding exact legal wording and keywords.

“Bare Act ke jo core areas hain, unke core provisions ko agar aap dekhoge, toh kuch keywords hote hain. Agar woh keywords aapko yaad nahi hain, toh exam difficult ho jaata hai.”

He particularly highlighted words such as “may” and “shall”, which can change the meaning of a legal provision.

Along with bare acts, he recommended regular MCQ practice.

“Bare Act se aap achhi-khaasi preparation kar sakte ho, lekin MCQs zaroor attempt karo. Practice nahi karoge toh pata hi nahi chalega ki questions kis tarah se pooche ja rahe hain.”

For the interview, he revised CBI, ED, PMLA, BNS, BNSS, BSA, recent judgments, investigation, prosecution, and evidence law.

Abuzar Umar’s CBI PP Interview Experience

Abuzar’s interview lasted approximately 30–45 minutes and covered his legal practice, motivation for joining CBI, criminal law, evidence, CBI-related provisions, and recent judgments.

When asked why he wanted to join CBI, he explained:

“My father is also an advocate and my two elder brothers are also advocates. So he kept on insisting me and asking me, ‘You should apply for CBI as well.’”

The board also asked whether he was willing to work across India.

“Sir, I am open to that.”

Questions covered the DSPE Act, CBI jurisdiction, Section 3, general consent, evidence law, expert opinion, confessions, and important judgments such as Vineet Narain v. Union of India.

When he could not understand a question, he remained honest:

“Sir, I’m sorry, main aapka question samajh nahi paa raha.”

Similarly, when he could not recall the names of law books, he said:

“Sir, books ke names yaad aa rahe hain, lekin main thoda confuse ho raha hoon. Main recall nahi kar paa raha.”

His interview experience shows that honesty, composure, communication, and confidence are as important as legal knowledge.

Abuzar’s Advice to Law Aspirants

Abuzar recommends reading bare acts carefully, focusing on core provisions, solving MCQs, revising important sections, following new criminal laws, studying recent judgments, and taking mock interviews.

He also encouraged students who cannot afford expensive coaching to explore PW:

“Jo bachche bahut costly coaching afford nahi kar sakte, unhe chahiye ki woh PW ko explore karein aur join karein.”

His journey proves that setbacks do not have to define a career.

“Is 7–8 years ki journey mein bahut saare setbacks aaye hain.”

His final message to aspirants is simple:

“Positive rehna zaroori hai. Bilkul bhi ghabrana nahi hai.”

Abuzar Umar’s journey from repeated setbacks to Rank 24 in CBI PP 2025 is a reminder to stay consistent, learn from failures, and keep looking for the next opportunity.
