EXCLUSIVE NCERT CLASSES

• We assume that students are starting with 0% Knowledge and we teach them from the basic NCERTs to the standards expected from UPSC.
• To make your foundation strong, we have included exclusive classes on NCERT in a theme-wise manner, rather than book-wise.

SUBJECT-WISE CLASSES

• While teaching we always keep in mind that building the basics in every subject is very important.
• Every subject is preceded by a Strategy or an Approach class where sessions will be in sync with UPSC trends with the previous year’s questions analysis and discussing the topics where the probability of asking the question is more.

EXCLUSIVE ESSAY CLASSES

• Essay Preparation is often ignored and taken for granted by both the aspirants and the traditional coaching institutes.
