Why this works
More than 50% of the questions taught by Riyasat Ali Sir are asked directly in UPSC CSE Main — every year, at least 10–15 questions in each GS paper.

| Our performance in CSE Main | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| GS Paper-1 | 08 | 10 |
| GS Paper-2 | 13 | 12 |
| GS Paper-3 | 12 | 11 |
Questions taught in the program that appeared directly in the UPSC CSE Main papers.

Why it works for serious aspirants
Most aspirants do not fail for lack of material. They lose years to the wrong plan, the wrong approach and no one checking their work.
We first identify the mistakes of your past attempt, then give you a clear personal roadmap — concept building, answer writing, revision planning and daily targets.
Most aspirants lose 2–4 years without the right plan and mindset. We correct the wrong approach, build discipline and realign your preparation.
We reset your preparation with concept clarity, guided revision, regular tests and personalised feedback — so study time becomes focused and exam-oriented.
Daily mentorship, doubt-solving, study tracking, performance analysis and continuous monitoring keep you on the right path. No confusion, no randomness.
Mentees ranked AIR 20, AIR 36, AIR 95 and more in recent CSE results — guided by a mentor who has tracked this exam since 2011.
Hindi and English medium aspirants receive the same quality of mentorship, material and answer-copy evaluation — no compromise either way.
