Foundation Courses to the rescue

• What is a foundation course?
• A comprehensive course that covers all aspects
  across Prelims and Mains syllabus. Typically such
  a course would last for around 12 months and
  would involve multiple expert teachers.
• What do such courses cover?
• These courses cover Prelims test series as well
  as periodic Mains answer writing practice, hence
  a complete solution to the General Studies aspect
  of the exam. These courses also provide rich
  content and tips to develop your Essay Writing
  skills.

Why should one go for a Foundation Course?

1. To Avoid Duplication - considerable overlap
   between the Prelims and Mains syllabus.
2. Holistic Preparation - covers each and every
   topic holistically from Prelims as well as Mains
   perspective.
3. Economical - most pocket friendly decision to
   make, as individual courses for each paper will
   definitely cost much more.
4. Regular study schedule ensures that the
   preparation is organised and motivation is
   maintained throughout.
5. Comprehensive Preparation - start from the very
   basics and cover all aspects required.
