Dear Aspirants
Preparation for Civil Services Exam should be undertaken in a holistic manner. Students should
prepare for Prelims, Mains and Personality Test (Interview) simultaneously. However, most of the
students prepare for Prelims and Mains Exam in separate manner which leads to failure in the exam.
Therefore, we have developed Prelims Test Series and Mains Test Series in such a manner that every
student can prepare for both Prelims and Mains Exam simultaneously.
Also, our Personality Development Programme is now integrated with Prelims and Mains preparation
so that students can develop their knowledge, skills and personality in a coherent way to get the final
selection with a very good rank in Civil Services Exam.
