Update on the EWS Case

UPSC had filed a counter petition for revoking yesterday's orders regarding making EWS cancellationa null and void for 10 students.

Hearing of this case and another case which is for blanket relief for all EWS candidates is ongoing.

The UPSC Counsel has requested the court to allow the result to be announced today subject to amendments based on the court verdict later.

If the hearing results into a clear verdict today then we will have the results in the evening.

Results of the EWS candidates whose matter is in court will be declared separately! The official court order is still to be out.

The court order should go in the favour of the EWS candidates as far as the court proceedings are concerned.

Wait for the formal order to be out.

Congratulations all successful candidates.

Those who couldn't make, pull your chins up. This is certainly not the end for those who worked hard.

We have seen a lot of successful candidates who finally made it just because they continued working hard.

Try taking it as a challenge and hit the ground running again as soon as possible. Feel free to reach out to us.

Those who have made it can text with their name and roll and number on @csetopper_helpline to get support from the team for the last leg.

Best wishes.

Ben Gurion Canal

🗞️ In News as it has been speculated that one of the reasons behind Israel's desire to eliminate Hamas from the Gaza Strip and completely control the Palestinian enclave is to give itself the chance to better explore a dramatic economic opportunity that has been talked about for several decades, but for which peace and political stability in the region is an essential prerequisite.

✅The idea is to cut a canal through the Israeli-controlled Negev Desert from the tip of the Gulf of Aqaba (the eastern arm of the Red Sea) to the Eastern Mediterranean coast.
