RAU’S IAS PRELIMS & MAINS TEST SERIES TESTIMONIALS

Since this year, I did not have much time to prepare for Prelims, I focused mainly on attempting as many tests as possible and gave Rau’s IAS Pre Pareekshan. It helped me to boost my confidence in the last hours of Prelims. It helps in many ways!

Yasharth Shekhar

AIR 12, CSE 2021

I could not crack UPSC in my first attempt. It is my mentors at Rau’s IAS who motivated me to give another attempt. The GSI QIP Mentorship program has helped me a lot. I was continuously in touch with my mentors regarding Mains copy evaluation; I used to discuss my diagram, answer framing, and so much more with my mentors.

Sonali Dev

AIR 41, CSE 2021

I got to know about Rau’s GSI QIP Mentorship through their DNS videos. The Quality Improvement Program has helped me to thoroughly revise the syllabus. The Mains revision classes helped me enrich my content also. Thanks, TEAM Rau’s.

ANENDYA RAAJSSHRE

AIR 68, CSE 2021

I feel this One to One Mentorship concept is really really good. In my entire UPSC preparation journey, this helped me a lot! Also, with the help of QIP mains revision classes and test series, I could improve my Answer writing skills.

NAMRATA CHOUBEY

AIR 73, CSE 2021

I wrote as many tests as possible. I got detailed feedback and mentorship as many times as I sought from the Rau’s Team, which really helped.

Divya Mishra

AIR 28, CSE 2020

The All India Pre Pareekshan, part of Rau’s IAS Prelims Test Series, is an outstanding initiative of Rau’s IAS Study Circle. The questions asked were very similar to the actual UPSC Prelims question paper. Both the test series & their current affairs magazine helped me a lot in the Prelims.

Divyanshu

AIR 30, CSE 2020

Focus, monthly current affairs magazine, covers all topics important for UPSC Prelims and UPSC mains Exam. The topics are explained with UPSC perspective. Very very large thank you for providing Focus. I highly recommend it!
