But under his guidance I am one of the India’s topper in anthropology marks. Thank you sir..

I am the classroom student of P. VISHNU VARDHAN SIR (ANTHROPOLOGY) at Hyderabad. His lectures are very interesting and made me eager to listen . His unique features are clear explanation of the topic ,timely completion of the course ,encourages the student along with personal guidance and especially his notes (no supplements are required), finally ,in-depth coverage of syllabus eliminating irrelevant information makes the students path clear . He evaluates answer sheets as per UPSC standard hence we be on par with UPSC

Iam a student of P Vishnu Vardhan Sir . The classes are very interactive by which he builds a good bond with all the students. As sir is doing his PhD , he knows the current status of the tribes very well .He not only conducts exams religiously but also makes modifications how to make one’s answer better .
