Eligibility
Who This Foundation Course Is For
There is no entrance test and no prior coaching requirement. What the batch asks for is commitment to a full year of structured preparation.
First-time aspirants
You are starting civil services preparation from zero. Every subject is built from NCERT-level fundamentals before moving to standard reference books, so no background is assumed.
College students & fresh graduates
You are in your final years of graduation or have just finished. Beginning now means a full syllabus cycle plus a revision round before your first attempt.
Working professionals
You are preparing alongside a job. The online mode carries the same syllabus, mentorship and test series as the classroom batch, delivered through live sessions.
The integrated advantage
One Syllabus, Two Examinations
With the GPSC Class 1-2 syllabus now closely aligned to UPSC CSE, splitting your preparation across two sets of material costs you time without improving either result. This course is taught as a single integrated programme - General Studies once, at UPSC depth, with the Gujarat-specific layer added on top.
- UPSC-depth General Studies as the common core
- Gujarat-specific content layered on for GPSC
- One timetable, one test series, one mentor
- No duplicated reading, no clashing schedules
What you get
Everything Included in the Foundation Course
Every mode includes classes, examinations, mentorship and faculty access. The residential mode adds the living and study infrastructure around them.
Personal mentorship
One-to-one guidance on your study plan, subject sequencing and revision strategy, adjusted as your test performance changes.
Complete syllabus coverage
All 15 General Studies subjects taught in sequence, from foundations to examination depth, with no gaps left to self-study.
Regular examinations
Scheduled tests through the year so weak areas surface early, while there is still time in the calendar to correct them.
Answer writing practice
Structured Mains answer writing with evaluation - the skill that most often separates a Prelims qualifier from a final selection.
Current affairs integration
Daily and monthly current affairs tied back to static syllabus topics, so news is learned as syllabus rather than as a separate burden.
Reading hall & library
A dedicated study environment with library access - included for residential students and available through the academic day.
