I dedicate my success to Rau’s IAS Study Circle. It is the learning ecosystem of Rau’s IAS that has given me an advantage over my competition helped me crack the exam in my first attempt. Also, since I was working alongside my preparation, I always had limited time at disposal, and that has helped me crack the exam because I could not refer to anything other than Rau’s IAS resources.
I joined Rau’s for discipline & guidance. There were teacher who were very helpful as well. More than getting content I always felt motivated and got guidance from teachers. Best thing I found in Rau’s IAS easy to reach out teacher after class for doubts. I am very thankful to Rau’s providing Classes, Test series, DNS (Daily News Simplified) & hand holding guidance.
When I came here I was full of questions and apprehensions just as you all might have before starting your preparation for UPSC. But when I joined I understood the syllabus, the basics and the direction for preparation. This institute has given me a lot, moreover it can give you a lot if you have the right attitude and appetite for knowledge."
My mother was a student of Rau’s IAS to prepare for the Civil Services Exam in her days. It is she who recommended me to join the Study Circle. I want to thank my Alma Mater for all the guidance, direction and support. To all the students at Rau’s IAS, you’ll be given a lot of reading material and handholding wherever required, Use it! You are in an institute that knows how to teach for IAS exam well, so utilise that! Use all the resources given by Rau’s like their foundation blue books, focus magazine, DNS, revision materials like compass books and QIP classes etc and make most of the time spent at the institute. I did it and here I am.
