IPS Arun Bothra Asks To Get Nokia 5310 To Crack Civil Services

Bhubaneswar : IPS officer Arun Bothra, who is an Odisha cadre officer, recently replied to a tweet asking him for a “one-shot advice” to crack the UPSC civil services exams. His reply is one that can help UPSC candidates all over India focus on their studies.

In reply to the tweet, Bothra simply said: “Replace your mobile with Nokia 5310.”

Even though smartphones are a boon for everyone when it comes to connectivity, communication and spread of information, they can be a great distraction for students.

If a student has an old Nokia phone instead of the modern smartphones which are like mini-computers, they are likely to focus better on their studies due to the absence of social media and other notifications that frequently hamper the concentration of students while studying.
