Hi everyone, please allow me a little time to get back to your queries. I understand that many of the questions are personal and sensitive and may need prompt attention, and I’ll make sure to give each one the attention it deserves. I’ll respond to every query by tonight. Thank you for your patience and understanding. 🙏

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views — note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.

You are also doing life for the first time. I’ve been thinking about this line a lot lately. When I went to a badminton academy in Haryana in 2018, I was entering a world where mistakes were expensive. Competition was brutal. Everyone around you was fighting for the same small space, and somewhere along the way I developed this habit of being extremely hard on myself whenever I lost, didn’t qualify, or simply didn’…

A small note from my side First of all, thank you. The response to the channel—and especially the personal messages I’ve received—has genuinely meant a lot to me. I’ll respond to each one of them, please allow me some time. Many of you have trusted me enough to share things that are quite personal: situations you’re going through, doubts, failures, pressure, confusion, relationships, family expectations and things…
You can share what you’re struggling with, you can text me if you have any questions. I’ll plan my first session accordingly.

A small note before we begin… I don’t want this to become a channel where I post something and everyone simply reads it and moves on. I’ll try to make this as interactive and practical as I can. I’ll take sessions whenever I’m able to — depending on work, training and the time I have available. Some may be planned sessions, some may simply be me picking up a problem that I think deserves a conversation. And I’d p…

One last thing I’m not promising that this channel will help you clear UPSC. Nobody honestly can. What I can promise is that I will try to keep it real. No artificial motivation. No pretending that every failure is secretly a blessing. No glorification of 14-hour study days. No one-size-fits-all formula. And no pretending that I didn’t make mistakes myself. If something I learnt can save another aspirant fro…
Why “The Other 50%”? The 50% isn’t a mathematical division of the examination. It’s an idea. Everyone talks about the part you have to study. I want to talk about the part you have to live. Because you can have the perfect timetable and still be unable to follow it. You can have the best sources and still be overwhelmed. You can study for months and still fail an attempt. You can succeed academically and stil…
A little about me I’m Abhishek Chaudhary. I secured AIR 613 in UPSC CSE 2025 and will be joining the IRS. But my journey to UPSC was anything but conventional. For more than 10 years, my life revolved around badminton. I played at the national level. Until 2022, I had almost no academic preparation and very little understanding of what serious competitive examination preparation actually required. I had to lear…
Showing the 12 most recent of 14 posts we hold for @abhishekchaudharyupsc. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Mentions
Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
