EXCELLENT rating
Based on 378 reviewsI feel that joining Educrat is one the best decisions in my life. The way we get guidance is really impressive. Everyday we receive important articles from newspaper, Prelims Booster, PIB and EduFacts , regular practice MCQs and what not. The faculties are very humble and kind enough to guide us always we need. I must honestly admit that I do receive personal attention from them. I am gaining experience how to write good presentable answers and also how to analytically solve the MCQs. Also I have learnt unique shortcuts method to solve Aptitude and Maths question. In GS class, I have been taught to think from the societal and constitutional perspective. I believe I will have a lot of self transformation in Educrat and I will gain clarity at every dimension of the syllabus.Soham Ray10/04/2024Best civil services academy in KolkataTanmay Sarkar10/04/2024I have been preparing for the UPSC exam at Educrat IAS Academy in Kolkata for more than a year, and I want to share my experience here. This place is great for several reasons. First off, the teachers here are really good. You don't need to worry with any of topics or subject since everything is explained in the most simplistic manner followed by lots of discussions with exam point of view. The faculty along with the rest of the team are always there to help whether it be a doubt or any issue that you are facing. The academy covers everything you need for the UPSC exam. They have classes for all the subjects (plus current affairs/month) and they give you lots of practice tests, daily mcqs , answer writing, essay practice to get you ready for the real thing. What's nice is that they pay attention to each student. You don't feel lost in a big crowd. They make sure to help you with whatever you need.And being in Kolkata is a plus. It's a good city for studying, and you don't have to spend a ton of money like you would in Delhi.Overall, I've had a great experience at Educrat IAS Academy.
