Shreya decided to venture towards her long-nurtured dream of becoming an IAS officer in 2019, and after a year-long struggle, she appeared in the 2020 UPSC Prelims and got to experience the exam first hand.

After the lost attempt of 2020, she acknowledged that there were areas in her preparation strategy which she could not properly address while doing the preparation alone last year. This is a very important step she has taken in underlining the areas of improvement, which many actually fail to see while self-evaluating the errors. Thereby losing precious time in the
process.

Then there were also her personal highs and lows. She felt the need to be held accountable for her studies to address the shortcomings of inconsistencies. Then her search for institutional/formal training for UPSC CSE exam began. She had to make certain choices vis-a-vis the training format to meet her specific requirements. Thus with her list of expectations ready, she started to search for their specific solutions.

We would also like to mention other similar problems which students like Shreya face during their initial years of preparations here, which are:

Mental stress and Isolation
Financial Hardships
Lack of Peer 2 Peer learning
Lack of Direction
Reliance on X number of sources
Unfair Practices by coaching centers
Lack of answer writing
Reading Newspaper in a proper way
Poor Time management
Improper analysis
