Sociology Online Foundation Course (LIVE)

Abhinav Sharma
AIR 130, CSE 2024

The Foundation Course was extremely helpful in resolving fundamental issues and clarifying basic concepts that we are generally not aware of. Since sociology is an optional subject, it’s more about understanding the core concepts than merely writing down facts. The test series included questions that were very comparable to what I encountered in the actual Mains exam.

Given the difficulty level and unpredictability of UPSC questions—known for including oddballs—the test series prepared me quite well for the real exam scenario.

It’s difficult to decide whether Pranay Sir is a great teacher or an even greater mentor. Since I enrolled in the online course and wasn't based in Delhi, I initially had concerns. But Sir was always accessible; I could call him anytime, and he was always there to guide me.

I wholeheartedly recommend all sociology aspirants to take guidance from IAS Gurukul.

Medha Anand, IAS
AIR 13, CSE 2023

Gunjita Agrawal, IAS

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Pranay sir and team IAS Gurukul for their support throughout my preparation.

Now IAS Gurukul is a well-known institute for sociology optional. Pranay Aggarwal sir who is an expert in sociology subject has this unique ability to be able to communicate with students coming from non sociology background in a simple and understandable language.

The Sociology test here has been very valuable in my preparation. The question papers were very relevant and helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses. When I was not able to give amends, the model answers were relevant, were top-notch and they were withinment.
