Invisible helping hand breaks its own record, guide 86 UPSC aspirants to CAPF glory
1 2 Lucknow: In the gruelling UPSC preparation landscape, Rakesh Nikhaj, a 2012-batch CISF Deputy Commandant, is rewriting success stories for aspirants. His brainchild, the Invisible Helping Hand, a voluntary initiative, has catapulted 86 candidates into Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) Grade A civil services in 2024, shattering last year's record of 53. From mock interviews to mentorship, this campaign is a lifeline for those stumbling at the UPSC personality test, a hurdle many fail to clear. This year, Nikhaj was joined by Devendra Kumar, director in the Cabinet Secretariat, academicians such as Amit Akshay, exam mentors, and past UPSC toppers like Arpita Gupta, Geophysicist, creating a powerhouse of guidance. Operating via Facebook, WhatsApp, and Telegram, the initiative reached 262 of the 1514 CAPF interviewees nationwide, offering free virtual mock interviews that mirror the real deal at UPSC's Dholpur House, Delhi. "We replicate everything except the physical setting," Nikhaj says, squeezing evening hours from his demanding job to provide instant feedback. "It's about serving society beyond duty," added Nikhaj, who is currently posted in Srinagar for a temporary assignment at central jail. Among the success stories is Akash Kumar, from Kankaria, a remote hamlet in Rajasthan's Jhunjhunu district. An IIT Bombay economics graduate, Akash became his village's first commissioned officer, securing AIR 6 in his debut CAPF attempt. Fourth in his family to don a uniform, he credits Nikhaj's initiative for his triumph. "Rakesh Sir's mock interviews boosted my confidence drastically," Akash says. "His focus on marginalized rural students gave me credible guidance I couldn't find elsewhere. " Similarly, Shyam Yadav from Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh, clinched AIR 2 while training as a lekhpal in up's revenue department. After failing interviews for Combined Defence Services five times and Air Force exams thrice, Shyam found salvation in Invisible Helping Hand's 2023 workshops. "The panel of interviewers of Invisible Helping Hand shared insights that transformed my approach," he says. Though work kept him from 2024 mocks, prior feedback was pivotal. "I prioritized first-timers for mocks this year," Shyam adds, reflecting the initiative's ethos of selflessness. The numbers speak volumes: of the 262 aspirants mentored, 86 cleared CAPF. Nikhaj's team, balancing official duties, conducts virtual sessions for more than 130 hours via zoom calls with precision, offering tailored critiques to polish candidates for D-day. "It's about building confidence and clarity," Nikhaj explains, his voice brimming with purpose. Rupali Singh, a graduate of BSc physical science with computer science from Miranda house, Delhi University who secured 365 rank in her third attempt said, "Invisible Helping Hand is a life changing initiative. The mock interview helped to understand my potential. The selflessness of this campaign reflects in every panellist who is involved in guiding the aspirants." Mangaldip Pal of Sadigachhi, a border area village in North 24 Parganas, West Bengal, who secured 313 rank said, "To be very honest, Invisible Helping Hand was more confident about my selection than I was. I come from a humble family and had cleared written exams of CDS, AFCAT, and Coast Guard Assistant Commandant multiple times. However, I never cleared the interview, but the campaign of Rakesh Nikhaj's sir helped me for CAPF. " According to UPSC, a total number of 459 candidates have been recommended for appointment after CAPF 2024 examination.

CSAS portal: Wait for admission to DU may end soon
New Delhi: The wait for admission into undergraduate programmes for the academic session 2025-26 in Delhi University's colleges may soon come to an end. Under DU's admission process, the first phase (Common Seat Allocation System – CSAS portal) has not yet been launched. As a result, the university was unable to initiate the admission process. As per sources, the launch may now take place on Tuesday. Last year, the process began by the end of May. Under this process, 85,000 seats across 79 undergraduate programmes in 69 colleges are to be filled. A DU official said preparations are underway to begin the application process in the upcoming week. The admission process is yet to start as CUET data from the National Testing Agency (NTA) is yet to be received, according to the official. The second phase of the admission process begins only after the CUET results are declared. Currently, since the first phase itself has not started, the delay in CUET results is likely to further push back admissions. The CUET results are expected by June 30. It is in the second phase that students are allotted seats. With the delay in the admission process, the start of the academic session is also likely to be postponed. The initial phase requires applicants to provide only basic personal and academic information, upload essential documents—such as category, EWS, or PwD certificates—and verify their CUET scores, which are already linked to their profiles.

Love story of popular IAS officer who cracked UPSC exam with AIR..., Tina Dabi is …
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Examination is considered one of the most difficult competitive exams globally—not just in India. Candidates interested in joining the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) must pass three stages: the Prelims, the Mains, and the Interview stage(s). Some of the most well-known and motivational IAS officers are Tina Dabi and her sister, Ria Dabi. People respect both sisters for their professional success and their personal lives. Tina Dabi is married to her fellow IAS officer Pradeep Gawande, while Ria Dabi is married to IPS officer Manish Kumar. Together, they continue to inspire millions of UPSC aspirants throughout the country. Ria Dabi, an IAS officer of the Rajasthan cadre, married an IPS officer of Maharashtra cadre, Manish Kumar, two months ago. It became common knowledge when the Ministry of Home Affairs published a note regarding Manish Kumar's transfer of cadre from Maharashtra to Rajasthan. The note specifically mentioned that the reason for the transfer cadre was his marriage to IAS officer Ria Dabi, who is stationed in Rajasthan. IAS officer Ria Dabi and IPS officer Manish Kumar, who are both from the UPSC 2021 batch, met as friends. According to reports, the two met during training at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) in Mussoorie, and their friendship gradually developed into a romantic relationship and the two married through a court marriage in April this year with family blessings. After their wedding, Manish Kumar applied for a cadre transfer, which was subsequently approved by the Ministry of Home Affairs. The official announcement about their cadre transfer was released on June 16.
