words from the mentor

Nimish Kapoor

Ex-Asst. Commandant, CISF, AIR 6 UPSC CAPF 2012, 5+ years’ experience in Government of India. Several years’ experience in mentoring students for UPSC Civil services Exam

” Newspaper/Current Affairs forms the backbone of Civil Services Preparation and UPSC is looking for students, who just don’t know what happened, but why it happened, the consequences and your own analysis.

It is my endeavour in developing this course to bring about and inculcate that approach in you. As the course progresses, you will be able to think about issues on your own and come up with original facets and muti-dimensional views about issues, which will prove to be an invaluable skill in the exam. In short, you will be able to match the paper eye to eye !

    To begin with, I have realised from my many years of experience in training aspirants to ace the exam that for many, picking up a newspaper and reading is a challenge. My endeavour is to teach CA in such a way that you would make CA central to your preparation. 

    Last but not the least, this course is not intended as a monologue and so, besides conducting the classes in an interactive way, I intend to keep time aside to mentor each and every one of my students with adequate personal attention”
