Senior Telangana IPS officer Mahesh Muralidhar Bhagwat has invited candidates who cleared the UPSC Civil Services Main Examination 2026 to seek free guidance as they prepare for the personality test, the final stage of the selection process.
In a recent LinkedIn announcement, Bhagwat congratulated the successful candidates and said they could approach his mentoring team for support ahead of the interview. The invitation follows the declaration of the Mains results, with 2,526 candidates shortlisted for the next stage.
In his LinkedIn announcement, Bhagwat asked interested candidates to contact his mentoring team on WhatsApp at 9908017349. Candidates have been requested to provide their full name, UPSC roll number, optional subject, native place and a copy of their admit card. The contact number was shared by Bhagwat specifically for candidates seeking guidance for the personality test.
The personality test gives candidates an opportunity to demonstrate their judgement, awareness, communication and suitability for public service. For those who have already cleared the written examination, access to experienced guidance can be especially valuable in preparing for this final interaction.

Bhagwat has been mentoring civil services aspirants for several years and has continued to extend guidance across successive examination cycles. His latest message is a fresh invitation specifically for the 2026 Mains qualifiers, rather than the launch of a new mentoring programme.
The interview schedule and further instructions will be communicated by UPSC through its official channels. Candidates are advised to follow those updates while preparing for the next stage.
