Biography

Vishal Thakur leads the Central Recruitment desk at Resultpedia. His desk owns every page tagged to the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC Civil Services, CAPF AC, IES/ISS, IFS, Geo-Scientist), the Staff Selection Commission (SSC CGL, CHSL, GD Constable, MTS, JE, Stenographer, Selection Post), and the National Testing Agency notifications that route through DoPT. He holds an MBA, and uses that training to build the structured selection-process explainers and competitor analyses his beat is known for — particularly the SSC CGL Tier-1 vs Tier-2 weightage breakdowns and the UPSC Prelims category-wise cut-off tables. Vishal has been writing about Indian central-government recruitment since 2019, first as a freelance contributor to coaching-institute blogs and then as a full-time editor. His sourcing rule for this desk is simple: a notification page only goes live after the official PDF on upsc.gov.in or ssc.gov.in has been opened, the vacancy and date numbers cross-checked against the actual gazette, and the source-link verified to still load. If any of those three fail, the page sits in draft until the source is clean. "I would rather publish a page two hours later than ship a vacancy number that's off by a thousand. Aspirants make life decisions on these numbers. We owe them the exact figure on the official PDF, not the round number a news site copied from somewhere else." — Vishal
