"Overall it's a wonderful program, planned well to cater to the need of an aspirant. Especially the mentorship part, which is the most crucial part of the UPSC journey.”
"This is indeed the best initiative ever taken for students in this field I am very thankful to the team, especially Mohan sir and Atyab Sir During my college days this platform has helped me a lot to do strategic preparation I hope I will revert back to what I owe to IAS BABA with my rank.
Thanks a lot”
"Firstly, the people manning the program - everyone, from Mohan sir to Pinky ma’am to the mentors reviewing the mains answer sheets. I feel honored to be chosen for the program, and just knowing that there’s someone to seek help from and be accountable to, adds a great value. I liked the TLP Tests and the AIPTS I’ve been solving lately. I also think I’d benefit from the mindmaps when the time arrives to use them before Mains. The access to videos by Sunil sir and the recent RaRe series are also great for content enrichment.”
"The gurukul program is immensely beneficial for me as it is my first attempt and guidance of Mohan sir especially his first session on formulating right approach towards exam helped me formulate exam specific strategy. Also one on one interaction during COVID phase helped maintain consistency during unprecedented time.”
"The active support and mentorship From Mohan Sir and the entire team working at the back end. It has made the entire UPSC preparation more streamlined as it has provided the way out to a person with whom one can discuss all the doubts, gain the required confidence and motivation to sail through. With all the provided resources it has been easier to find the gaps and work to fill them”
