If you like the Sherlocking Analysis we do in the group or on YT channel, know that it’s just 5-10% of the Real IP!

For Prelims, we’ve done over 1750+ PYQs from GS and CSAT in a way never done before. No free video can ever match that quality of analysis, the demo and testimonials are a proof of that.

Similarly for Mains, integrating the Art of Answer Writing with 2013-23 PYQ analysis is a first of its kind initiative.
