Very rare when the R&AW chief is seen in public event. The R N Kao Memorial Lecture-2026 turned out to be that special moment.
First public appearance by Shri Parag Jain, R&AW chief, since he took the office.
The lecture by Honourable HM on the subject of “Narcotics: A Borderless Threat, A Collective Responsibility” is worth reading.
Salute to those who work in the shadows.

Tip for PRELIMS 2026
1. From today onwards, make sure to solve one paper a day of Paper-1 of UPSC CSE PRELIMS (2011-2025).
Print the pdf of the paper as it is, get an OMR sheet, and solve the paper in 90-100 minutes. Calculate its marks with official answer key and write your marks on the front of the QP after solving.
This will align your thinking with UPSC style thinking and statements. Most importantly it will give you the confidence.
Will benefit immensely.
2. Anyone who has given prelims before know it well. The moment you come out of exam hall after prelims, a genuine candidate who prepared decently will always feel that “the paper was random”.
This is true except the 35-40 questions which come from Polity, Economy, Geography and Modern History.
So prepare these PEGM well as they form the bedrock static of the preparation. This is the key pillar to help you crack Prelims.

Those who are panelist in *MOCK INTERVIEWS IN UPSC COACHING CLASS* are being projected as “UPSC INTERVIEWER” by owner of coaching players.
This manipulation is specifically targeted towards college going students who hardly understand the difference between two.
This is shameful conduct by coaching players to project their coaching classes to be having those teachers which took real UPSC Interview. And these very players claim to teach you ethics in classes.
Kuch to sharam kar lo.

In news for years now and hence it becomes an issue of contemporary relevance. Just the kind of topics UPSC asks.
Topic : AMOC (Atlantic meridional overturning circulation )
It’s important for both prelims and mains. If no direct question asks, can become important point on impact of climate change, which is a permanent theme.

All the serious aspirants for MAINS 2026 must read this article and use the arguments in your answers.
P.s. PSIR students must not miss reading it.
Excellent article by Stephen Walt, a famous modern realist scholar, on the rise of USA as a PREDATORY HEGEMON.
Do use concepts, keywords and theories in this article for PAPER-2 of PSIR.

Classic example of "hybrid warfare" and "fast power" (John Chipman)
"Hybrid warfare" is when a hostile state carries out an anonymous, deniable attack, usually in highly suspicious circumstances, but stops short of being an attributable act of war.

It has been very insincere on my part that I’ve not been able to respond to most of the queries posed to me via this channel since the results came out.
I have been occupied as we started out Delhi Attachment as part of the IRS training from 6th March. This will conclude on 21st March.
I want to assure each one of you that all the queries put up in the comments section will be answered on this channel by me.
I may not be able to personally address each person, but all unique doubts and queries asked will be answered before March ends through my posts or maybe a live session.
Thanks for all the wishes on positive results and best wishes for the Prelims 2026 preparations. ❤️

Hello My fellow aspirants❤️.
I am sure Prelims must be the top priority for everyone as we stand less than 2 months away from Prelims 2025.
I am planning to do a live session to share my prelims strategy with all of you. I have failed in 2 prelims (2019 and 2020) and qualified 4 prelims continuously (2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025).
These 6 attempts at prelims has given me a fair understanding of what works and what doesn’t. I’ll share my insights on how to crack prelims in this live session.
After the session I will also take live questions from all of you.
Time : 10PM
Date : 25th March 2026
Medium : Telegram Live
P. S. shoot your doubts in the comments section , will address those concerns in my initial experience sharing. Also spread the word for this session so that it reaches out to everyone who is preparing seriously.

A credible source has shared a concrete information that there is *no chance* of CSE 2025 results getting released today.
So there are 99% chances it won’t come out. Please don’t waste your festival in waiting for the result.
Spend your good quality time with family and friends.
Happy Holi. ❤️✨
P. S. as of now max chances for 05/03/2026
