Online IAS mentorship — FAQs
Is online IAS mentorship effective?
Yes, when it includes a written plan, scheduled reviews and evaluated answers. Those are what improve marks, and all of them work as well online as in person.
What is the difference between IAS coaching and IAS mentorship?
Coaching teaches the syllabus in classes. Mentorship is personal guidance: a mentor plans your preparation, evaluates your answers and tests, and reviews your progress regularly so your effort converts into marks.
Is mentorship enough without coaching?
For aspirants who have already covered the syllabus once, yes — mentorship, tests and answer evaluation are often what is missing. First-time aspirants usually combine it with a foundation course.
What is the fee for the IAS mentorship programme?
The fee depends on the stage (Prelims, Mains or interview) and mode. Call 98804 87071 or send an enquiry for the current fee and batch details.
Who are the mentors?
Mentoring and evaluation are led by Pragnya faculty — trainers from Delhi, Hyderabad and Bangalore — with interview and ethics guidance from retired and in-service IAS officers and former UPSC panel members.
Do I need to live in Hyderabad?
No. Online mentees can be anywhere in India. In-person reviews are optional at our Hyderabad centres.
