Good morning friends and family! Heartfelt wishes on National Civil Services Day. One year before, on this very same day (21st April 2024), I started this telegram channel with the noble motive of sharing my ideas and notes regarding civil services preparation. My first message in this channel - https://t.me/vigneshta314/2 Now, within a span of an year, I have posted 500+ messages, cleared 650+ personal doubts over mail, attracted 5000+ followers, 10K views for some posts and had countless well wishers who appreciated the content and structure of the channel. To be honest, I never expected such a humongous response from the aspirant fraternity, but now I am grateful that the channel has really helped scores of aspirants. I acknowledge the fact that, in the last few months I got preoccupied with the training and could not concentrate much on the channel. But I also felt that overstretched content or ideas might not help many as only crisp ideas and notes will help you get the most from this channel. Having said that, the mail handle is always active (vigneshta314@gmail.com) for your doubts. I also wish to say that, having completed my FC and Phase 1 course at LBSNAA, I will be reporting to Patna, Bihar for Assistant Collectorship during the District Training Programme. By next week, the results of CSE24 will be announced and there will be a new set of rank holders. Best wishes for everyone who are awaiting your final results and hoping that you will also give back your ideas and knowledge to the community after emerging victorious. All the very best for candidates appearing for CSE Prelims 2025 on 25th May 2025. Stay disciplined for next one month in whatever strategy which you have been following in the past few months and you will ace the exam for sure.
