Not sure if Laxmikant covers it or not. Too many references in news because of The State Of Tamil Nadu vs The Governor of Tamilnadu and Anr.:

State Of Punjab vs Principal Secretary to The Governor of Punjab and Another (2023): The Court made it unambiguously clear that a declaration by the Governor that he is withholding assent does not bring an end to the Bill. It held that withholding of the Bill should be followed by sending the Bill to the legislature for reconsideration as soon as possible.

Rishika, a member of @decodecivilsgroup and part of my courses, cleared CSE-24 with AIR-217.

In 2022, she couldn’t clear prelims. In 2023, she reached the interview stage. And in 2024, she secured a AIR-217.

In her blogpost, she has wonderfully expressed as under:

"I’ve always believed this exam is a deeply individual journey. We prepare with different circumstances, different potentials — and the subjectivity of marks in essay, optional, and interview only adds to it. So, no strategy is truly one-size-fits-all. But if my story resonates with you, feel free to take away whatever feels useful.

I started preparing in 2020. Throughout my journey, I prepared alongside my full-time job as a school teacher, with only half a day available during weekdays. After missing prelims in 2022 by 1.4 marks, I realized I had to find strategies that suited my routine.

So, i was going through last 3 days newspapers. Not at all surprised to see at least 5 coaching institutes claiming 270+ selections 😁

They have literally mastered the art of openly lying without fear of any damn thing. For them CCPA is just a joke. Shameless to the core.

This leaves the recently selected toppers in a soup as aspirants start questioning their integrity.

If you are a CSE-24 Topper and if this msg reaches you, make your official Insta & Tele accounts. Disclose your associations. Dont let vultures exploit your vulnerabilities.

P.S. For the records and so that you dont make any assumptions about me, during Sarrthi's YT live with AIR-1, I had myself stated that she wasnt associated with me. @decodecivilsgroup

Last time i had posted a report based question, only 17% had got it right.

These look tempting. But have 75% chance of going wrong. No elimination possible. You either know or you dont. Intuition or gut feel does not work here.

Glad to see many students with huge marks in Essay & Ethics in CSE-24. 🤝❤️

So, I waited long for this post. After all, I have taught benefits of delayed gratification by Walter Mischel.

Harshita Goyal, AIR-2 CSE-24, my Ethics Student for 2024 Mains, scored 125 Marks in Ethics.

Interestingly, "Score 125+" was tagline of my Module!

Harshita Goyal, AIR-2 UPSC CSE-24 with my wife, Amrita. Harshita being my ethics student is icing on the cake.

P.S. I had taught Kohlberg's moral development stages using example of Amrita & our ever notorious Son and Harshita could still recall the same. I hope some of you remember as well!
