Engagement
20 posts held, back to 7 September 2025 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 22 pages of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 3 June 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Reaction mix
13 reactions across 7 posts, in 2 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 92.3% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| ❤ | 12 | 92.3% | |
| 👍 | 1 | 7.69% |
No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 9 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 13 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 7 September 2025 to 3 June 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

2. Hobbies and interests: Ideally - Minimum 1 and maximum 4. Don't write vague hobbies, be very specific. Ex1.- vague: watching movies Specific: watching Bollywood movies Very specific: watching Bollywood movies based on social issues/ love stories etc. Ex2.

3. Mains center: Option A) If your city has Mains center. Then choose that only. The best center for mains is- where you are studying for Mains. Unnecessarily changing the place creates a lot of trouble. Biggest Myth- by changing Mains center your chances of clearing Mains increases. Option B) If you have to move to a different city- then try to choose the less chaotic city- where you can easily find hotels nearby…
You don't have to give interview in chaste Hindi, Even they don't know that much. It would be largely Hinglish ( dominated by Hindi).
Few important posts regarding UPSC form : 1. Service preference 2. Hobbies 3. Mains center 4. Choice of medium for interview
UPSC form: If you are not comfortable with English then fill Hindi or your regional medium as interview language medium. Do not fall in that trap that only in english medium you get good marks. I have seen candidates unable to speak English and ended up getting 120-30 marks. Last year one of SOMP students got into IRS because he switched interview language as Hindi from English. He improved his interview marks from…

Work is accomplished through effort, not just wishes.Just as a deer does not enter the mouth of a sleeping lion by itself, the lion must hunt to find its food. Similarly one has to put hard work for their dreams to make it a living reality.

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @SOMP_Essay. 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.
Forward network
Republishes
Channels on the register whose posts this channel has forwarded.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Appears in Telegram’s recommendations for other channels
The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly — each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone else’s query is independent of having been queried itself.
