Jatin Jain, IPS, AIR 91, CSE 2022


I would like to thank Pranay Aggarwal Sir and IAS Gurukul team for the immense support in my journey. They have been a constant support my in this journey to help me in every stage; so that i can overcome my fear of answer writing. So, thank you Sir; I am very grateful for your support. Pranay Sir explains the sociological concept in a very easy and lucid language which are very easy to understand; as i don’t have any sociological background. The mains test series of IAS Gurukul which i referred - the questions were very logically framed and the model answers were decent and the evaluation was good. I recommend sociology students to refer to the material and take the guidance of Pranay Aggarwal Sir in this journey.

Shruti Jain, IPS, AIR 165, CSE 2022


I think Pranay Sir is one of the most recommended teachers - for clearing doubt regularly with him. Sir gives weekly assignments, i think you should go through them regularly. In my last attempt i came across Sir's sociology course at IAS Gurukul. One of the very important elements that i personally persued was the current affairs parts for the mains. He very well gives and it was done by Sir himself. So i really liked it, that helped me give a lot of perspective in sociology. Especially, i come from the engineering and non sociology background. So those notes and handouts for current affairs was very comprehensive and useful. IAS Gurukul and respected Sir provide test series which includes timely evaluation, model answers and 1 to 1 feedback; which i think is very important; because every student has respective strengths and weaknesses in writing. So, one should be very well connected to Sir. I think that IAS Gurukul as well as Sir's test series courses are very recommended. i would like to thank Sir and IAS Gurukul for their contribution. I will definitely recommend IAS Gurukul to other aspirants as well, so that you have happy sociology as well as happy UPSC!
