India is on a fire sale. Every monetizable asset is up for sale. With debt ballooning to 135 Crore Crores, we will soon be left with no assets(built over 75 years), a debt of Rs.1 Lac on each citizen and many liabilities that will emerge by the day that we never knew existed.
Keep a watch on how the disinvestment pans out. A government that failed to sell the 80000 Crore Liability called Air India will now be selling profitable assets. Good assets(Like Container Corporation) will be palmed off to cronies and the bad assets to PSUs.
Here is a list of disinvestments
1. ONGC Buys HPCL for Rs 36915 crores. Govt. makes money. ONGC debt goes up from 30680 crores to about 80000 crores today. ONGC in deep Debt.
2 PFC buys REFC from GoI for 14,500 Crores. Govt. makes money. PFC loans money from PSU banks. PFC in debt.
3. ONGC, Oil India, BHEL, Nalco etc forced into buyback of shares for about Rs.10000 crores:
- ONGC buy back for Rs. 4,826 crore
- BHEL buy back 5.16% for Rs. 1,628 crore.
- NALCO buys back Rs. 505 crores of GoI shares.
- Indian Oil bought back 4435 crores of shares etc.
4. Coal India 'offer for sale' netted Rs 5,218 crores to GoI.

5. IDBI Bank, sold to LIC: Rs.14500 crores. Average price for LIC @54. Current price @37.

6. The failed project and debt ridden GSPC KG Basin that hides a million shenigans was bought by ONGC for 8000 crores.
What I fear is this:
Good assets will move into cronies hands.
Bad assets will be bought by PSUs. Assets that have a lot to hide will be in the sell list.
Government will sell our ancestral home and silvervare to fund its lunch and dinner expenses.

Good Morning, India.
*135 Lac Crores

Thread:
1. The EWS quota is being turned into a "backdoor for the rich" — with hard data
EWS category, Introduced in 2019, reserves 10% of All‑India Quota seats for General‑EWS candidates. Eligibility was annual family income ≤ ₹8 lakh; less than 5 acres agri‑land; flat <1,000 sq ft; plot <100–200 sq yd.
2. NEET 2024 counselling data examined by @Careers360 reveal shocking misuse.
Aspiring doctors paid between ₹1.25 crore and ₹5 crore in private colleges AFTER claiming EWS quota and failing to get govt seats, much more than an ₹8‑lakh earner can afford.
3. Fake certificates & fraud:
Counselling data revealed that 378 students joined 54 deemed universities paying as much as Rs.1.67 crores and 33 students paid NRI fees as much as Rs.4.57 crores to take admission in 20 medical colleges. That is 4.7% of the seats in deemed universities.

1. This thread is all about how our graduates have been getting a raw deal from the IT Services behemoths - Infosys, TCS, Accenture, Wipro, Cognizant etc etc.B.Tech
2. Sometime back, Careers360 did a detailed story on how the starting salaries in these companies remained constant at 25K to 30K per month for over 15 years.

3. All this while inflation more than doubled, their recruitment quadrupled, college fees quadrupled and profits of these companies grew 8 times.

1. This is the sordid saga of India’s fresh engineering graduates being underpaid. This was an active collusion between the big tech companies like Infosys, TCS, Accenture, Cognizant etc and the engineering colleges. The negotiation was always about the placement % than the salary package. Read this explosive story and the thread.
engineering.careers360.com/articles/the-h…
2. Between 2010 and 2025, India’s major IT companies — TCS, Infosys, Accenture, Cognizant, and Wipro — have seen a huge rise in employee numbers, rising between 116% to 291% in these top 5 companies in the IT Services segment.
3. However, the salary offered in campus placements across engineering colleges was constant in 15 years. The salary of TCS grew from 3.15 lacs in 2007 to Rs.3.36 lacs in 2024. The salary at Infosys grew from Rs. 3.25 lacs in 2010 to Rs.3.6 lacs in 2024.

When minister @PiyushGoyal compared India with China on innovation and deeptech, he stirred an hornet’s nest. More than the mindset of individuals, it reflects the state of mind that the government inspired in its people. Let us compare:
1. China Invests about 20 times of what India invests on R&D. China invested close to USD 500 billion in Science and R&D. In Comparison, India spends just about USD 25 Billion. Image
2. In 1995, India was investing 0.65% of GDP and China was at 0.57%. In 2022, India invests 0.66% of GDP while China spends close to 3% as of 2024. India stagnated while China multiplied its investments 5 times over. Image

Thread: The NEET (UG) 2024 exam is the murkiest that I have ever seen. Here is addendum to the my thread yesterday:
1. Results were scheduled to be announced on 14th June. At times, they are released a day or two before. In this case, it was announced on 4th June, a full 10 days before the scheduled date. Very clearly, they wanted lesser scrutiny with the nation busy with the election results.
2. Most coaching institutions claim and even pay money to claim the top rankers. This year, Aakash claimed 21 toppers, Allen claimed 27 rankers, Narayana & Chaitanya claimed 9 each. Surprisingly, no one has come forward to claim SIX toppers from the Haryana Center in question.

Thread:
Yesterday, NEET (UG) 2024 results were declared and some of the details are emerging are cast aspersions.
Number of Candidates Registered: 2,406,079
Number of Candidates Present: 2,333,297
Now, the concerns:
1. For about 1 lac MBBS seats, 13.16 lac students were made to qualify. The qualification score for general category student is 164 marks out of 720. That is 22.77%. Why do we bring down the qualification score so low? Any guesses?
2. In all, 67 students scored 720/720 marks and got Rank 1. This unprecedented number of perfect scores is highly unusual and raises questions about the integrity of the examination process. In 2023, we had just 2 students who scored 720/720.
