VIDEO | Delhi: Aakash Trivedi, who secured the 73rd rank in the UPSC examination, says, “I belong to Jalgaon district in Maharashtra. My father is a lawyer and my mother is a housewife. I completed my graduation in Computer Science Engineering from IIT Kanpur and passed out in 2024. I always felt I wanted a purpose-driven career, something meaningful where I could contribute to society. Since I come from a good background and have received a good education, I felt it was my responsibility to give something back. That is when I decided to prepare for the UPSC examination.” #upsc2025 #upscresults

IIT comp science will now end up as a cop or customs officer. The fault is not this kids. He is doing what’s best for him because the system and structure he functions in disincentivises creativity, entrepreneurship, innovation. And then we wonder why India is not innovating fast enough, why manufacturing is suffering, where are the tech giants building tech that world wants. As long as something as unproductive and useless as IAS will be the dream of our best and brightest, and as long as these services remain the most privileged without any contribution whatsoever, the dream of viksit Bharat will remain a dream. Worse, we will keep asking for transfer of tech because we don’t want to put the brains and money into developing our own tech. Our brains will be happy pushing files, seeking and lobbying for their next posting, ensuring they get jobs where memsahib has a car to her disposal for shopping and a flat in Lutyens delhi as per their entitlement.

Unbloody believable. Someone need to sack this professor of “communication “. Even at this stage, while ostensibly owning accountability, she is saying “ I may not have come across eloquently, which is rare!!!!” Whoever made her teacher of communication also needs to be sacked. @GalgotiasGU owners should just keep their trap shut, for sometime. Don’t dig a deeper whole for yourself. Let the summit not be bogged down by your stupidity.
