ABOUT AAROHAN
Every year the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) conducts the Civil
Services Examination to recruit officers for IAS, IPS, IFS and other services, and
State Public Service Commissions conduct the PCS examinations. The vast
syllabus and multi-stage pattern make these among the toughest examinations
of the country. So why do some aspirants succeed early while others struggle for
years? The answer lies in “right guidance at the right time”.
AAROHAN is a carefully staged 2-year journey of 24 months: 4 months of NCERT
foundation, 16 months of complete GS (Pre cum Mains) with Optional, CSAT and
Essay writing, and a final 4 months to prepare Summary Notes for revision (GS +
