UPSC Final Result 2025 Live Updates: What for those who missed the list by a few marks
A noted author, educator, and storyteller associated with IIT Delhi, Nanditesh Nilay recently penned a motivational note for students who missed qualifying for civil services by a few marks.
"To those who missed the UPSC CSE 2025 list by a few marks, may you find a life filled with dignity and fresh beginnings. Your effort, your discipline, and your integrity remain intact. There is no final chance in life as long as breath and resolve remain," Nilay wrote in his letter addressed to UPSC aspirants.
"Sooner or later, fundamental questions reach everyone, successful or not. Who are you? What defines you? What have you done with your opportunities? Have you remained true to yourself? While these questions may seem philosophical and uncalled for at first, in the long run they help carve a path for you, enabling you to choose something you are genuinely interested in, can give your best to, are ready to learn from, and can contribute to meaningfully, preparing you for new challenges tomorrow and better opportunities in the future," he concluded.
Nilay's books focus on the theme of self-help and improving one's life to find happiness.
UPSC Final Result 2025 Live Updates: Can institutes share candidate's Mock Interview without consent? RTI query flags concern
Can a coaching institute publish a candidate's mock interview online without his consent? The question was raised through an RTI application before the Department of Consumer Affairs, bringing attention to the use of aspirants' interviews and personal details by coaching centres.
The query, filed under the Right to Information Act, 2005, had sought to know whether coaching institutes can upload a candidate's mock interview conducted during the preparations for the UPSC Civil Services Examination even if the aspirant later objects to its publication.
However, in response, the Department of Consumer Affairs said the queries were in the nature of seeking advice or clarification and therefore, did not fall within the definition of "information" under section 2(f) of the RTI Act.
The applicant, Shashank Gaur, had specifically asked: "Does the coaching have right to publish Mock Interview in this case? Can a candidate deny publishing of his Mock Interview? Or coachings can publish his Mock Interview without his consent?"
The RTI application had said such a situation may arise when a candidate gives a mock interview in early stages of preparations and performs poorly, but improves later. If the earlier interview is published after the declaration of the results, it could portray the candidate in a negative light and invite adverse comments on social media platforms.
