First you give subsidies to the ethanol production .

They you apply 100 % tax on petroleum.

They you say ethanol is cheaper.

What a joke .

It was always sugar lobby , it was never about petroleum lobby.

First they destroyed your health, now yours hard-earned vehicles.

🚨 Think cracking the UPSC is the hardest part? Think again. 📚🇮🇳

For many, clearing the UPSC Civil Services Examination feels like reaching the finish line.

But for every future IAS officer, it's actually the beginning of another demanding journey.

Before taking charge in the field, IAS probationers undergo two years of rigorous training at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA), Mussoorie—where academics, discipline, physical fitness, and leadership are tested every single day.

📄 Now, an RTI report has revealed an interesting insight.

Between 2021 and 2026, 24 IAS probationers failed one or more papers during their training.

Even more striking, 14 of these cases occurred in 2025 and 2026 alone.

At LBSNAA, probationers study:

📖 Constitution & Law
📊 Economics
🏛️ Public Administration
📈 Management
🧠 Behavioural Sciences
🏃 Physical Training
🌍 Field Visits
📝 Regular Examinations

One of the biggest challenges?

🗣️ The local language examination.

A 2023-batch IAS officer from Bihar, allotted to the Telangana cadre, shared:

"I scored three out of 20 in my first attempt. I cleared it in the re-test."
Another officer explained why some probationers struggle:

"Soon after the UPSC exam and the hectic preparation that goes into it, many lose interest in academics for a brief while. That's why they falter."
Over the last four to five years, LBSNAA has also made its assessment process more rigorous, ensuring officers are better prepared for real-world administration.

The encouraging part? 👏

✅ Failing a paper does not end an IAS career.

Probationers are allowed to reappear and must clear all papers within four years, with a minimum qualifying score of 50%.

The RTI also revealed that 14 probationers faced disciplinary action for issues such as poor attendance, skipping physical training, using electronic devices during classes, and other rule violations.

Yet one statistic stands out above all:

🏆 Between 2018 and 2026, LBSNAA recorded a 100% overall pass rate. Not a single IAS probationer was removed from service.

🌟 The message is clear: clearing UPSC earns you the opportunity to serve—but becoming an effective administrator requires continuous learning, discipline, and perseverance long after the exam is over.

Politicians do not care about you.

Even if they appear to care about you.

The ONLY thing a politician cares about is getting and retaining power.

It is their PRIMARY concern.

If getting and retaining power means they have to do something that would destroy you and their own mother... they will.

There is a lesson that all people who promote politicians learn the hard way:

You are relevant as long as you are useful to the politician.

Once you are no longer useful, you will be forgotten in a week. They will not even grant you a meeting.

Worse, if you ever become a liability, the loyalty will not be reciprocated.

They will turn on you and try to destroy you in public so everyone knows they are not associated with you.

We moved our office to Dubai and I travel there frequently. Every time I come back to India, it takes me a few days to adjust again.

Every Indian should travel abroad at least once in their lifetime. It changes your perspective. When you experience clean air, no constant honking, proper sidewalks, and streets free of garbage, you realize what basic civic infrastructure and citizen privileges should look like and how much we're still missing.

Life is too short to waste time doing a job you don’t like.

Disappoint your parents and start your journey in building something meaningful for the world.

My parents did not support me when I quit my job but are now the proudest people on the planet.

Quit the job and get obsessed with building something you love.

Your family will come around.

[Ayussh Sanghi @ayusshsanghi]

This aspirant has this one major problem in his preparation journey, and that is time management.

I think most of the aspirants are going through the same.

So I am giving you the simplest time management funda for UPSC preparation, which you can follow easily without getting burnt out.

Do not pick more than two subjects at once.

Step 1: Pick 2 subjects – 1 from the Big 4 and one from the others.
Step 2: allocate a 60:40 time ratio to these two subjects.
Step 3: study only for five days a week and revise everything for the next two days.
Step 4: have planned breaks at least twice a week.
Step 5: include current affairs and optional subjects for the rest of your time.

[Your Best Version @YourPrimePath]

One of the easiest ways to improve your confidence and mood is to simply look up more often. When your head is down for most of the day your jugular veins actually compress, restricting blood flow and triggering dizziness, fatigue and anxiety. Your posture is directly connected to how you feel. Looking down signals defeat to your own nervous system. Look up, extend your neck, keep your chin parallel to the ground and notice the shift in how you feel almost immediately. Your body responds to how you carry it. Give it the posture of someone who is not defeated.
