Hi Friends, Hope your studies are going well. Working hard is good but remember to pause on weekends. When you plan to travel, I urge you to visit the mountains for a relaxing experience, away from the stress of everyday life. I recently visited Dharamkot & I feel so refreshed & alive now. I also made a short reel from my travels. Do watch this short when free. Hope you feel motivated to take that pause & go to the mountains. https://youtube.com/shorts/JYzxAJf-xK8?si=xdx_PDdmxZDlV1tJ Cheers, Anshumaan ✨️

Watch when free. Hope you feel postive & happy. 😍 https://youtube.com/shorts/257O2fMYQwc?si=deUa096zV0BNYcgO Love, Anshumaan ✨️

Good Evening Friends, Hope you are enjoying your weekend. It's so hot, stay cool & hydrated. Btw, I am happy to share that I have completed 3 years with EPFO this year. Having worked across several offices of EPFO, I thought of sharing some precious moments with you from last 3 years in the form of a short. Hope you feel positive & motivated after watching this video: https://youtube.com/shorts/6lLqwmWkxBk?si=fO6zvboh-JD4RR_Y Cheers!! 😁 Anshumaan ✨️

Dear Friends, Long time! Finally I am making content around UPSC EPFO & other exams, especially to guide & motivate you all. Exam phase is difficult but you must endure & persevere because life becomes joyful once you reach the other side. For me, life became dreamy & magical after I found my name in the final pdf. I made a short to share with you my celebrations after cracking UPSC EPFO exam. https://youtube.com/shorts/8UL58ftsXLk?si=_2p27NZlAQXmMcRN This should fill you up with positivity & motivate you to get a good job (govt or private) this year & enjoy life on your own terms. Cheers! Anshumaan ✨️

​💡 Pro-Tip for My Fellow Aspirants ​Don't let "Attempt 3" or "Attempt 4" define your worth. The private sector and NGOs deeply value people who understand India’s socio-political landscape. Remember ​the goal is to serve the nation; the chair doesn't always have to be in a District Collector's office.

​📢 Beyond UPSC: A Complete Career Roadmap for 2026 ​Aspiring for the Civil Services is a noble journey, but your talent shouldn't be "stuck" in a single cycle. If you are struggling with uncertainty, remember that the skills you’ve gained- analytical thinking, GS knowledge, and discipline- are in high demand elsewhere. ​Here is every major opportunity you should track in 2026. Save this post! ​1. Core Government Exams (The "Parallel" Path) ​These exams have a syllabus overlap of 70–80% with UPSC. a. ​State PCS (Public Service Commissions): UPPSC (UP), ​BPSC (Bihar), ​HCS (Haryana) b. ​SSC CGL (Staff Selection Commission): The "Mini IAS." c. ​Regulatory Bodies (Grade B Officers): RBI Grade B: High-salary, prestigious roles. ​SEBI/NABARD: Excellent for those with an interest in finance/rural development. ​EPFO (Enforcement Officer/APFC): For those interested in labor laws and social security. ​ d. CAPF (Assistant Commandant): For those seeking a uniform job with officer rank. ​2. Fellowships: Governance & Public Policy. ​Fellowships allow you to work inside the government or with top think tanks without a 3-stage exam. They pay well (30,000 to 75,000+ per month) and look stellar on a CV. a. ​NITI Aayog (Young Professionals/Consultants): Work on national policy. Check the "Work for Bharat" portal. b. ​Chief Minister's Fellowships (CMFP): States like Maharashtra, Haryana, and Delhi hire young professionals for 1-2 years to drive state-level projects. c. ​Gandhi Fellowship / Teach For India / Ashoka: For those passionate about grassroots change and education reform. d. ​Legislative Assistants to Members of Parliament (LAMP): Work directly with an MP on law-making and research. e. ​Public Policy Youth Fellowship (PPYF): Immersive governance training. ​3. Internships & Immediate Jobs ​If you need immediate financial stability while you prepare: a. ​PM Internship Scheme: Aims to provide 1 crore opportunities in top 500 companies. b. ​National Career Service (NCS): A government portal linking job seekers with private and public employers. c. ​EdTech & Content Creation: Your UPSC knowledge is gold for platforms like Unacademy, StudyIQ, or even starting your own niche YouTube channel. d. ​Think Tanks: Organizations like ORF, CPR, and ICRIER hire research assistants to work on international relations and economics. 4. Some lesser known paths a. Political & Governance Consulting (The "Lateral" Corporate Path) ​Organizations like Nation with NaMo (EILP), I-PAC, and CAG (Citizens for Accountable Governance) look specifically for "UPSC-returned" candidates. You work on policy research, manifesto drafting, and data-driven governance. ​Pay is ₹8 LPA to ₹15 LPA for freshers; much higher for those with research backgrounds. ​b. Content Strategy for Global Policy Think Tanks ​While many look at ORF or CPR, there are niche "Tech-Policy" fellowships that value the intersection of AI and Ethics- perfect for tech savvy youth like you. ​Pranava Institute (Youth for Tech Futures) is a 4-month fellowship with a ₹1 Lakh stipend to research how India navigates the digital life. ​Digital Swaraj Fellowship focuses on digital inclusion in rural India. ​ ​c. Specialist Research Roles (RBI & NABARD Grade B) ​While everyone knows Grade B General, few apply for the Specialist (Research/Economics) streams. If you have a Master's or PhD in Economics, Public Policy, or Statistics, the competition is significantly lower than the general stream. Gross monthly salary exceeds ₹1.1 Lakh. ​ ​d. University "Practice" Fellowships ​Institutions like Ashoka University (Young India Fellowship) or Indian School of Public Policy (ISPP) offer heavy scholarships (up to 100%) for UPSC aspirants to pivot into a Master's in Policy that leads directly to global consulting jobs (McKinsey, BCG, Dalberg). It acts as a "bridge" to move from the exam-cycle to a high-paying corporate/policy career.

Hello Friends, Good Evening! I wanted to inform that I have joined Head Office this week. EO/AO is a field cadre but they have posted me to HO, like many others in my EO/AO batch. Now we are excited to work on policy level problems at the top level. Happy times! 😍 Btw you can watch this short I made yesterday. It shows snippets of Head Office & some of my EO/AO friends. https://youtube.com/shorts/kJUhi7e2hwI?feature=share Best, Anshumaan ✨️

To every UPSC CSE/EPFO aspirant whose 2025 didn’t go as planned, read this till the end. If you’re reading this with a heavy heart after not seeing your name in pdf, I want you to pause for a moment. Breathe. Because this post is written for you. Let me tell you my story, not the highlight reel, but the real one. I failed UPSC CSE six times & college job placements 11 times before seeing some success. Years of preparation. Mock tests. Self-doubt. Social pressure. Silence after results. Watching others move ahead while I stayed back. There were days when I questioned everything: my intelligence, my choices, my worth. But here’s what the Universe quietly did while I was busy counting failures. ✨ I cracked UPSC EPFO. ✨ Built a strong academic profile & became a mentor at NITI Aayog. ✨ Started YouTube, reached millions, and created impact beyond one exam. ✨ Pursued PhD & research, attended fully funded international conferences even in Europe, something I never imagined earlier. ✨ Won medals, worked in public policy, learnt French language on scholarship, and found a voice far bigger than a single designation. The dream didn’t die. It evolved. And that’s the part nobody tells you. Sometimes the Universe says “this path is too small for what you’re becoming. Let me give you a bigger path, a bigger goal” If you couldn’t crack UPSC CSE or EPFO in 2025, hear this clearly: 👉 Your preparation is not wasted 👉 Your discipline is not wasted 👉 Your knowledge is not wasted Opportunity + Preparation = Breakthrough Maybe you’ll become IAS / IFS/ IPS / EPFO APFC/EO/AO in 2026 or 2027 when your preparation finally meets the right moment. Or maybe you’ll do something even bigger: 1. Build a startup and raise serious funding. 2. Move to the US or Europe, reinvent your life. 3. Become a researcher or professor in a top global university. 4. Create impact in policy, governance, tech, education, or entrepreneurship. There are no limits , except the ones you accept today. If you’re still working on yourself when others give up, If you’re still studying when no one is watching, If you’re still dreaming despite setbacks, You are already winning. Let 2026 be your absolute best year yet. Not because results are guaranteed, but because growth is inevitable when effort is honest. Trust the process. Trust your preparation. And trust this one thing deeply: The Universe always has better plans than you do. Keep going. Your story is far from over. ♥️ Love, Anshumaan ✨️
