The Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) has come out with conduct guidelines for newly selected civil service candidates outlining how they should behave both online and in public life. The Academy’s guidelines for newly recruited bureaucrats focus on discipline, integrity, and responsible use of social media from the very beginning of their careers.
As part of a modern code of conduct, candidates have been asked to give priority to institutional integrity over individual promotion. The Academy has also asked them to wear modest and sober clothing and refrain from using any intoxicants in public.
The LBSNAA, which trains India’s civil servants, sent detailed instructions to all 958 selected candidates, including 659 males and 299 women, after the announcement of the Civil Services Examination 2025 results on March 6.
By doing it, the Academy aims to discourage self-promotional or potentially harmful social media activity. While recognising the importance of digital platforms in administration, candidates have been advised to pause and reflect before posting so that misunderstandings and professional criticism can be avoided.
The guidance teaches them the importance of maintaining high moral standards in personal life. The Academy has said that understanding and following conduct guidelines is essential.
