Do we really have the right to protest? 🤔

A recent incident from Mumbai where a woman questioned a road blockade during a political protest has sparked a huge debate online. Opinions are divided. Emotions are high.

But what does the law actually say?
Where do we draw the line between the right to protest and the right of others to move freely?

In this video, our Academic Director Sylesh Sir breaks it down in a simple, balanced way looking at both sides. ⚖️

⚠️ Public Awareness for UPSC Beginners

Choosing where to begin your UPSC preparation is a big decision—and today, more aspirants are choosing Trivandrum over Delhi. A welcome shift.

But here’s what you need to watch out for 👇

❌ Not all “results” you see are real contributions.Many institutes showcase misleading advertisements.

As a beginner, this can be misleading. And costly.

✔️ So before you join any academy, ask ONE simple question:
👉 “How many of your results are from the exact course I am planning to join?”

If you’re enrolling in a Beginner / Prelims-cum-Mains (PCM) course, their results should come from that—not from last-stage guidance.

This one question can shape your entire preparation journey.

🎥 In this video, Academic Director Sylesh Fernandas explains how to identify genuine mentorship and avoid inflated claims.

And here’s ours—clearly stated:
✔️ 20 results from our PCM (Prelims-cum-Mains) program in UPSC CSE 2025
✔️ Highest ever in Kerala
✔️ Highest in South India this year

No shortcuts. No last-minute associations. Just consistent guidance that delivers.

📌 Don’t just look at results—understand their source.
📌 Ask the right questions.
📌 Choose wisely. 🇮🇳

Backlogs? Setbacks? People writing you off?
Good. That’s where this story begins. 🔥

Divya S (AIR 166, UPSC CSE 2025) wasn’t the “expected topper.”
Engineering student.
Backlogs almost every semester.

For many, that would’ve been the end of the road.
For her, it became the turning point.

While others saw failure, she saw unfinished work.
While others doubted, she doubled down.

And today?
All India Rank 166 in UPSC CSE 2025. 💥

Her story is proof that your past doesn’t get the final say, your persistence does.

So if you’re stuck, behind, or questioning yourself right now…
remember this:

It’s not over when you fall.
It’s over when you stop getting back up…

Every journey has a starting point. ✨

In this interactive session at The Hindu Civil Services Gateway, powered by Fortune IAS Academy, Arjun Pandian IAS, District Collector of Kasaragod, shares how his own preparation journey began.

Some stories stay with you long after you hear them. ✨

In this Toppers’ Talk, we meet Dr. Athira Sugathan (AIR 483, UPSC CSE 2025), a journey that redefines resilience.

A life-changing accident during her college days left her in a coma, with memory loss, and paralysed below the waist.
For many, that could have been the end of a dream.

For her, it became a reason to fight harder.

Step by step, day by day, she rebuilt her life and went on to secure AIR 483.

A story every aspirant, and honestly, everyone needs to hear.

Two journeys. One destination. 🇮🇳✨

In this candid moment, Aravind Iswarankutty (AIR 248) and Shiyad (AIR 743), both from our Prelims-cum-Mains batch, share a few laughs before heading to the next big chapter.

From the same classrooms to now going to LBSNAA together… that’s a special feeling.

Wishing you both the very best for everything ahead. Proud of you, always. 💫

On this Vishu as new journeys begin, we’re really happy to share the happy news about inauguration of our new classroom- ‘Bodhi’. A state of the art classroom where many more students will sit, learn, figure things out, and build their journey towards this dream. ✨

What made it even more special was having it inaugurated by our UPSC CSE 2025 toppers, students who once sat in classrooms like these, with the same dreams and determination. 💫

We truly hope Bodhi becomes a space where many more dreams take shape and turn into reality.

Wishing everyone a year of growth, hope, and new beginnings. 🌸
