Engagement
A typical post picks up 5 interactions against 4.6M followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 556 original posts, its engagement rate beats 2% of 3,758 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 6.9K times each, and 0.073% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.149% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 19.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 556 posts sampled, 97% carry an image or video and 72% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 7.0K interactions, about 1403x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #ptiphotos, #bigstories, #indvsl.

Compared with accounts its own size
Press Trust of India's engagement rate beats 2% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 5% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

At under 0.001%, Press Trust of India sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,378 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 16:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

VIDEO | On RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's event at Madison Square Garden, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani says, "... I also stand here as the first Indian American mayor in our city's history. My mother's family is all still in India. The vision of India that I was taught by my family and the one that I grew up being very familiar with was of a pluralistic society, of a secular republic, that believed in the belonging of each and every person who was from India. It has been incredibly troubling to see the rise of a movement that is predicated on an exclusionary vision of any country, frankly. So it is one that I find myself in deep opposition to. Not only as an Indian-American, but also as the mayor of a city that believes deeply in the belonging of each and every person, no matter their colour, their creed, their religion, their faith, wherever they're from... I don't support the rally, but I don't know if the city has any jurisdiction on canceling a private event." (Source: NYC Mayor Office)

VIDEO | Ranchi: Student leader Ravindra Paswan expressed gratitude following Chief Minister Hemant Soren's decision regarding the cancellation of JSSC CGL exams. He says, "From this stage, I express my heartfelt gratitude to all the students and youngsters. I also sincerely thank all the media personnel for turning our issue into a national topic. All of us students have worked together like brothers. We would like to thank Prakash Sir, who served as a backbone and worked to take this JSSC CGL movement forward. We would like to thank Mastana Sir, who went to jail for all of us students. We want to thank all the teachers of our Coordination Committee, Arun Sir, Vishal Sir, Rohit Sir, and every other teacher involved. We express our gratitude to all of them. Additionally, we want to thank the youth and students of Jharkhand who walked shoulder-to-shoulder with us, standing by us in our struggle to win this fight." "We want to tell all our friends that not all of our demands have been met yet. So far, agreement has only been reached regarding the cancellation of the exam. A CBI investigation is still pending. Until a CBI inquiry is ordered, we will not back. The cancellation of the 11th to 13th JPSC exams is still pending. A CBI inquiry into every exam affected by malpractices remains pending. Until all our demands are fulfilled, we will continue this agitation. Together, we proved that when you fight for the truth, victory is guaranteed. We proved that a battle like this has never been fought in the history of Jharkhand, and perhaps never will be again." (Full video available on PTI Videos - https://t.co/bIyFWTfmBd)

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 5 interactions against 4.6M followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 556 original posts, its engagement rate beats 2% of 3,758 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 6.9K times each, and 0.073% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

- What is Press Trust of India's engagement rate on X?
- Press Trust of India (@PTI_News) has an engagement rate of 0%, based on the median interactions across 556 original posts from the last 30 days against 4,617,556 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At under 0.001%, Press Trust of India sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,378 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @PTI_News have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 2% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @PTI_News post?
- Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 19.27 posts per day across the measured window.
