Frequently Asked Questions

Current affairs is one such part that forms a crucial base in all the exams conducted by UPSC and holds a weightage of approximately 25-30% of the total score. It helps the aspirants not only in clearing the written exam but also in the successive stages. Thus ignoring this section means you are digging your own grave. Now the question comes how to approach it?
UPSC current affairs questions are although very wide in scope yet not out of the blue. Questions are usually asked from the events of national and international importance. But this information can be tapped only if a student himself is in regular touch of newspaper instead of making a last minute affair based on an online compilation. Thus we highly recommend to our students to read one newspaper daily (either The Hindu or Indian Express) and make their own notes on what, where, why and How of key events. In our course module students are taught how to collect the right type of information on their own, which is why they are able to deal with this section in an effective manner.

No, there is no such reservation. Rather entry through written exam of NDA is one such entry that gives you ample scope to show your worth based completely on merit. It does not provide any type of reservation not even on the basis of caste, income or minority.

Yes, any student who has passed his +2 from a recognised board can appear for NDA. But one needs to note that non-science students can opt only for army. Entry in Air force and Navy seeks physics and mathematics as essential subjects.

This is a very subjective answer. It depends on various factors; level of exam, number of competitors, passing ratio of the candidates each year and number of subjects individual candidates need to prepare. Coaching under good expertise will always save the precious time of the candidate but expertise should be well tested.

Yes, we do provide well researched & up-to-date material but only to the warriors who enrol with us. We do not sell it yet. Class lectures are well delivered so candidates can prepare their notes simultaneously.

No, at present we do not provide any online platform.

It is obvious that students have an advantage of information in present online era. They can access lots of information on just a click. But this information avalanche becomes hindrance in their preparation also. Students are not able to distinguish between required and Non- required information and it kills both time and energy of the students. Lots of information does not mean good information. On the other hand although offline classes have less information as compared to online platform yet it provides well informed class, doubt session and regular test series which make preparation more real and close to the reality of exam.

Merit list is prepared with the addition of all points/ marks at all the stages (Stage 1: written test, Stage 2: SSB, Stage 3: Medical). Out of all the mentioned stages, stage 1 is in the hands of a student which he can mange in his favour. If student is able to manage a good score above the cut-off (certainly he can do so) than he need not feel doubtful about his merit in after getting recommended.

For three reasons
First: material (Class lectures & printed notes) are updated regularly keeping in mind the new pattern of UPSC’s exam in which many times new students feel less acquainted.
Second: Specific batch strength. We train 25-30 students in a batch. It makes students & teacher conversation more result oriented and students get more time & space from teacher for doubt clarity.
Third: Faculty itself is passionate about Armed Forces & continuously inculcate that spirit in their students which gives healthy and competitive environment to them.

There is no specific time period for NDA preparation. It depends on aptitude & perseverance of the student. But ideally it takes 4 to 6 months for a student if he starts it from the scratch provided he is putting his efforts continuously and in required direction.

No, they are different altogether. JEE asks for high mental calibre in science subjects only but NDA calls for physical and mental calibre in all subjects (science, social science, current affairs, general English, maths). Moreover, level of competition is high in both the exams so aspirants require a good level of commitment towards preparation of each exam.

We have different modules for different courses (CDS/AFCAT/CAPF/NDA). For NDA, aspirants can join on 1st & 16th of every month.
