UPSC is one of the toughest exams to crack and requires immense dedication and preparation. When it comes to your perfect holistic preparation for UPSC, whom would you trust? An offline class that charges exorbitant amounts and fails to provide personal attention or an online platform that ensures you’re completely prepared with the help of a personal mentor, regular tests, and much more? It would definitely be the latter, right? That’s exactly the reason why thousands of UPSC aspirants have opted for UPSC Pathshala and were all praises about it in their reviews.
Along with personalised mentoring, UPSC Pathshala offers custom courses, offline access, regular test series and mock tests, live classes for current affairs, doubt solving sessions and much more making it the perfect fit for working professionals and students alike. Unlike offline classes, you are not forced to enroll for the entire course but you only pay for what you need and choose. Moreover, the mentors even help the students with their interview preparations.
Here are features in details which have made UPSC Pathshala a celebrated name among UPSC aspirants:
Personalised Mentorship
Preparation for the Civil Services exam is a long journey and it’s very important to have an experienced mentor who can guide you at every step of the preparation. UPSC Pathshala offers you a dedicated mentor who makes your study plan, solves your doubts, discusses current affairs, evaluates your answers, and keeps you focused on your path. Not just that, but they also understand what your weak and strong concepts or subjects are and prepare the study plan accordingly. If you’re a working professional and have very less time to prepare for your exam, then the personal mentor will make a plan to ensure that the entire syllabus is covered in that particular time and you still have enough time for test series.
Quality Content and Best Video Lectures
UPSC Pathshala delivers the best quality video lectures by top most faculty members of India, covering the entire syllabus of General Studies (GS) and Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) along with the most detailed coverage of Current Affairs for both Prelims and Mains. Further, they have checkpoint questions after each video and test after each module to test the student’s understanding.
Regular Test Series and Mock Tests
With UPSC Pathshala, you can keep a track of your preparation with multilayered tests, both subjective and objective. You further get checkpoint questions based on each video to test your understanding and a module test at the end of each module. All of this will test how well versed you are with your subjects of GS and Current Affairs. This, in turn, gives you real-time UPSC Exam experience several times before your final attempt.
Offline access
Once the student has enrolled for the course, they get a pen drive delivered at their doorstep. This pen drive will give them offline access to all the videos and study material. As and when the content gets updated on the portal, the pen drive gets synced automatically. Students can access the videos anywhere, anytime at their convenience.
UPSC Guru App
UPSC Pathshala also has a free app- UPSC Guru wherein students can access free sample videos covering all the topics along with getting current affairs news updates, exam information, blog articles on tips and tricks for UPSC and much more. All this at your fingertips!
UPSC Guru is indeed your virtual mentor during your preparation for the UPSC exam. It is an app that will be a one-stop solution to all your queries regarding the preparation, pattern, and everything under the sky related to UPSC.
Several students have reviewed UPSC Pathshala and recommended it further to their friends and close aides. In one such review, Rishika said, “Earlier, I was preparing by myself but I was unable to maintain the consistency. That is exactly where UPSC Pathshala has helped me and my personal mentor has ensured that I’m consistent in the entire preparations. Apart from the guidance, the quality content of videos and study material is commendable.”
She further said, “My mentor Heena Sharma made a personalised time table for me and has ensured that I follow it thoroughly. Similarly, my other peers at UPSC Pathshala also get a tailor-made study plan that suits them the best according to their time, pace and convenience. She is always there to help me in case I have any doubts and I’m always grateful to her for that.”
If a student opts for offline classes, they are forced to enroll in Prelims as well as Mains. A student ends up paying over 1 lakh for the entire package even if he is unable to avail the benefits in the future. However, with UPSC Pathshala, you can enroll only for the Prelims package or the Mains according to what suits you the best.
Following are the custom courses offered by UPSC Pathshala:
- UPSC Foundation Course
- Crash Course for Prelims 2020
- UPSC Inception Course
- Indian Forest Service Program
- UPSC Pathshala Junior
- UPSC Hindi
- Sociology (optional subject)
- Geography (optional subject)
- Central Armed Police Forces Exam (CAPF)
Here are the key takeaways from the custom courses:
Current Affairs
In the duration of the entire course, there will be 300+ hours dedicated to the most relevant & custom made videos covering all the important current affairs. Further, there are weekly magazines for current affairs by UPSC Pathshala wherein everything that you need to know is curated in an illustrative and interesting way. Gone are the days when students had to memorise endless newspaper and magazine articles.
NCERT Coverage
The courses will include exhaustive coverage of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) with video lectures, assignments, and question banks. NCERT textbooks are known as the holy bible for UPSC and the mentors at UPSC Pathshala will ensure that you exactly know how to navigate through the endless resources and study material.
General Studies (GS)
The General Studies for Prelims contains over 400+ hours of high-quality video covering all the topics of GS-1, GS-2, GS-3, and GS-4 for both prelims and mains exam.
Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT)
CSAT for Prelims includes 100+ hours of content with a number of practice tests to ensure that you’re completely prepared with the CSAT section for Prelims.
All of these factors are a distant dream if a student is enrolled with a local offline class. They rely on local tutors and it is difficult for them to provide a personal mentor at an effective price. Moreover, if a student is unable to attend any lecture, he will lag behind considerably. With UPSC Pathshala, a student gets the best of both worlds- personal and best mentor from across the country and the flexibility to study according to their time.
In another student review, Shivam said, “The best thing about the course is my personal mentor. The videos of Atul sir are very helpful and have gone a long way in explaining to me difficult concepts in a simplified way. Their videos cover up almost all the basics and the reference books cover up everything else.”
“The course was thorough and has instilled great confidence in me. As I’m a working professional, offline access was also very helpful. I always watched the videos on my phone whenever I was travelling and without interruption even when there were connectivity issues. I’ve further recommended it to my friends,” he added.
