Every time you say no to distractions. Every time you wake up early despite exhaustion. Every time you sit with your books when the world is partying.

You're choosing yourself.

And that choice? It compounds.

@UPSCneil

This journey can feel lonely. We isolate ourselves. We stop reaching out.

But somewhere, another aspirant is fighting the same battle tonight.

Share notes. Ask for help. Lift someone when you can.

We rise faster when we rise together.

@UPSCneil

Bad mock score? Syllabus backlog? Family pressure?

The chaos won't stop. But you can choose how you meet it.

Not panic. Not despair. Just a calm, steady return to the desk.

That's the real preparation; for the exam, and for life.

@UPSCneil

No Instagram stories. No "Day 247" posts. No announcements.

Just you, your notes, and silent progress.

Let them wonder. Let them ask later.

Some transformations are too sacred for an audience.

@UPSCneil

Remember last month? When you thought you couldn't continue?

You're still here. Still reading. Still trying.

That's not weakness. That's proof.

You've already survived 100% of your worst days.

@UPSCneil

All students enrolled for Sherlocking Prelims Module must have received the Google Meet link for the Sherlocking Prelims meeting, scheduled to be held on Saturday, 24 January at 12:00 PM.
Please ensure you join the meeting on time using the shared link.

Hard? Yes.
Exhausting? Yes.
But somewhere deep inside... does it feel right?

That quiet knowing beneath the struggle, trust it.

Difficulty and peace can coexist. You're on your path.

@UPSCneil

On the auspicious occasion of Basant Panchami, we seek the blessings of Maa Saraswati, the source of wisdom and clarity of thought. 🌼

This day reminds us that true education is not about accepting everything we hear or read, but about developing intellect, reasoning, and independent thinking. A student must learn to question, analyse, and form opinions based on logic and evidence, not popular narratives.

In a democratic society, such rational and informed minds are essential. May this Basant Panchami inspire you to think deeply, act responsibly, and remain committed to truth and reason- both in academics and in life.

Wishing you wisdom, clarity, and intellectual courage.

🌼 Happy Basant Panchami 🌼

@UPSCneil

5 AM. The world sleeps. Your phone is silent. No notifications. No noise.

Just you and possibility.

Win that first hour. The rest of the day will follow.

@UPSCneil

Probably why the delay in notification.

Cadres are now arranged in alphabetical order and divided into four groups, instead of zones.

@UPSCneil

Forget the 14-hour study marathons.

4 honest hours. Every single day. For months.

That quiet discipline nobody sees? It's louder than any one-day hustle.

Show up. Again. And again.

Republic Day reminds us that the Constitution is the soul of our nation, it binds millions of dreams into one shared purpose.

The Tricolour stands for sacrifice, hope, and responsibility, reminding us that freedom survives only when citizens rise above self-interest.

To be a Republic is to believe that service is greater than power, and duty is as important as rights. Education gives us not just knowledge, but the courage to think right, act justly, and stand for others.

True patriotism lives in everyday choices- honesty in conduct, respect for institutions, and commitment to the common good.

Let us carry the spirit of the Constitution in our thoughts and actions.

Happy Republic Day. 🇮🇳
Jai Hind

Unfollow. Mute. Log out.

Your reason. Your why. It's still there. Listen.

@UPSCneil

"Bas ek aur month, phir seriously shuru karunga."

That month never comes.

You'll never feel fully prepared. No one does. Not before Prelims. Not before Mains. Not before Interview.

Start messy. Start scared. Just start.

@UPSCneil

That friend group draining your energy? Edit.
That app stealing your hours? Edit.
That habit pulling you backward? Edit.

You're not being selfish. You're being intentional.

This is your life. Curate it like it matters because it does.

@UPSCneil

"Tumse nahi hoga" is not feedback. It's noise.

Learn from those who correct you with care. Ignore those who mock your efforts.

Know the difference. Protect your peace.

You owe no one an explanation for chasing your dream.
