#1The RBI’s Monetary Policy Committee raised the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.50% on October 7, 2026, and changed its stance from neutral to calibrated tightening. The decision seeks to contain inflation expectations as oil and food prices rise, but interest-rate increases cannot directly resolve supply shortages and must be complemented by government action.
#2The Supreme Court has agreed to examine a plea seeking recall of a split verdict concerning the Election Commission appointment law. The development raises distinct questions about judicial procedure and the constitutional safeguards needed to secure the Election Commission’s independence; it does not itself establish that the verdict has been recalled or the law invalidated.

IAS coaching in Hyderabad
Hyderabad has become one of India's strongest civil services preparation cities. Ashok Nagar and the surrounding RTC X Roads, Himayatnagar and Narayanaguda belt is where most serious aspirants study — libraries, hostels, bookshops and coaching classes all sit within walking distance, and the Metro connects the area to Secunderabad, Ameerpet, Kukatpally, Dilsukhnagar and LB Nagar.
Pragnya IAS Academy sits at Ashok Nagar Signals, in the middle of that ecosystem. The academy's argument for staying in Hyderabad is simple: the same national-level faculty and All India test benchmarking that Delhi offers, at home, with Telugu-state aspirants around you and TSPSC and APPSC pathways available if you want a parallel state services attempt.
Before you join any IAS coaching in Hyderabad, check five things: rank holders you can verify by name and AIR, who actually teaches each GS paper, how often answers are evaluated, whether tests are benchmarked nationally, and whether mentors track your progress one to one. Attend a demo class before paying any fee.
Our UPSC coaching in Hyderabad runs as classroom batches at Ashok Nagar and as live online classes with the same faculty, tests and mentoring. Working professionals and students outside Hyderabad usually choose online; aspirants who live nearby benefit from the library, peer group and in-person answer reviews.
