EXCLUSIVE NCERT CLASSES

• NCERT forms the foundation of civil services which cannot be ignored.
• We assume that students are starting with 0% Knowledge and we teach them from the basic NCERTs to the standards expected from UPSC.
• To make your foundation strong, we have included exclusive classes on NCERT in a theme-wise manner, rather than book-wise.

SUBJECT-WISE CLASSES

• While teaching we always keep in mind that building the basics in every subject is very important.
• Every subject is preceded by a Strategy or an Approach class where sessions will be in sync with UPSC trends with the previous year’s questions analysis and discussing the topics where the probability of asking the question is more.
• The UPSC trend analysis and the approach classes will give you clarity on what to read, what not to read, and how to read. This will help you in building a strong foundation in your preparation.

EXCLUSIVE CURRENT AFFAIRS CLASSES

• Current Affairs is the most important part of the Civil Services Examination (CSE). A high number of questions are asked directly or indirectly in all three stages of the exam i.e. Prelims, Mains and Interviews.
• Exclusive Weekly Current Affairs Classes – 48 Classes

EXCLUSIVE ESSAY CLASSES

• Essay Preparation is often ignored and taken for granted by both the aspirants and the traditional coaching institutes. UPSC CSE 2021 & 2022 Essay Papers were a nightmare for the majority of the aspirants and were an eye-opener. So, to keep the students ready, we deliver and discuss each and every possible theme (Special focus on Philosophical Essays) on which essays can be asked by the UPSC.
• 10 Exclusive Essay Classes – Each and Every Theme will be discussed in detail and Live Essay Writing in the Class.

Studying all day long won’t make any sense if you are not practising the questions. Daily Prelims and Mains Practice is an integral part of Baba’s Gurukul Foundation’s Unique Pedagogy.
