Our comprehensive 1:1 mentorship offers customized timetables, schedules, strategies, targets, test series, and booklists tailored to individual needs. This mentorship eliminates the need for separate coaching, benefiting both self-study students and those already in coaching. We continuously evaluate and support each student’s performance, addressing shortcomings and enhancing their strengths. Our goal is to prepare students thoroughly for the IAS exam, cultivating awareness, self-analysis, and nurturing skill development essential for success.

We help them understand and complete the syllabus with personalized timetables, planning, and strategies.
