     Joining educrat has been a game changer for my upsc preparation.The mentors here are the best that one can get in Kolkata and so are the faculty members who helps us 24*7 with anything essential that is needed for our preparation. Not only upsc but this institute also prepares us for various other competative examinations. It also levels up our preparation with daily articles and consecutive mock tests.
Educrat not only mentors for upsc but also helps us to grow as a person. Even though it provides a competitive environment for its students, whenever I go there I never feel pressurised that I used to feel in school/college. Everyone is so welcoming and humble!
