Abhik Das's feedback
Phase1:
The MCQ series regarding the circulars, PIB,. misc GA and schemes were game changers. By practicing and revising the fortnightly questions made memorisation very easy. I never had to memorise any other things and retention felt like a breeze
Phase2:
After revising the static concepts,I attempted the MCQs and the descriptive questions. And I couldn't attempt the questions effectively previously, Now I myself saw my thought process and writing speeds change for the better. And the full length mocks before the actual exam was the game changer and increased my endurance for the final D-Day.
Interview:
Rahul sir‘s interview guidance program is a gem. I recommend doing this because sir curates profiles of the candidates keeping in mind the background and work experience. Right after the 1 to 1 call, he recommends if a candidate requires extra certifications. Then he sends specific questionnaires to be prepared by the candidates. And this particular preparation instilled in me a sense of confidence that really helped me hold my fort in the interview room when I was bombarded with unexpected questions.
I reiterate again and again that without Rahul sir, I might not be able to stand my ground and wouldn't become an Officer today🤞
