Foundation Course for CSAT

We suggest that before going in for the Preparatory Course, i.e. generally in your academic 11 standard or FY a student should have done our Foundation Course and Foundation Course makes the student capable of knowing oneself and taking one’s own decisions. In this course of building a foundation of life, all the subcomponents of CSAT were already included. Still, the course has now been made more exam-oriented and it prepares students for the GS IV paper named Ethics, Integrity & Aptitude, the newly introduced paper in UPSC Mains, according to the changes in 2013 and student also learns Study Skills in that course. Many students who enter the field of competitive exams without learning these things are seen confused by trifle matters. Many even need help to fill up a simple examination form. Then they want their questions to be solved by others. Questions, right from ‘how I should decide my priorities,’ ‘how to plan the study timetable’, ‘how to improve memorizing skills’, ‘how I should manage many things at a time’… and right up to ‘which optional subject I should choose’… Students who have completed our Foundation Course are seen distinctly different in all such respects. Hence, we suggest that you do the Foundation Course previously and Of course, it is not compulsory to do the Foundation Course to get admission to the Preparatory Course.

Admission

Student who has not yet completed 21 years of age, or is not yet in the last year of graduation, or one who has not decided about his / her next attempt, but one who has appeared for HSC examination should presently take admission to the Preparatory Course. A Candidate who is presently 21 years old and is a graduate (or is appearing for the last year of graduation) can take admission to our direct courses for the respective competitive examination. Of course, he should have made a firm decision to appear immediately for the competitive exam to be held in the same year with full devotion and hard work. Only then should he/she take admission to the respective course

Generally, we suggest the following sequence

One should do the Foundation Course after 10. Then in the next year, one may do our Preparatory Course and then the year in which you are to appear for the competitive exam, you may do the regular course directly for the respective competitive exam. Various competitive examinations have a similar design: Prelims (test of your information – objective, multiple-choice type questions), Mains (test of your knowledge – essay type questions for UPSC) and Personality Test (i.e. the Interview, a test of your wisdom). They also have a mandatory component of General Studies: which includes Current Affairs, History, Geography, Economy, Polity, and ScienceTechnology. Our Preparatory Course is thus designed to help students prepare for any competitive examination like UPSC, MPSC, PSI/STI/Asst., Banking, NDA-CDSE or even corporate sector recruitments. Thus, this course helps to develop a personality for a career through competitive exams and helps to enhance the grasping power of any subject. Hence, this course may rightly be called an Advance Foundation Course.

    Why “Chanakya”?
    Arya Chanakya: Perhaps the pioneering prime bureaucrat- scholar. The thinker who realized the dangers of foreign invasion. Chanakya Mandal Pariwar has tried to awaken a corrupt exploitative, anti-people and inefficient regime. When the power-drunk corrupt regime refused to wake up, he sacrificed his career, went into wilderness organized and inspired the young generation from the commonest of the common strata of society. He affected the political revolution which unified India and repulsed the foreign invasion. Having achieved all this he renounced all positions of power and wrote the eternal treatise ‘Artha Shastra’.
