Rankers' Testimonials
In their own words.
Thanks ‘US’ for the great content throughout especially Conquer (Mains) & MAD (Prelims). MAD has been the most important defining feature for my Prelims. I watched all the lectures of MAD. I understood the language of UPSC questions from it. I used all the materials provided in CONQUER — be it summary or handwritten short notes. Truly worthy content.
AIR 4Raghav JhunjhunwalaCONQUER Mains 2024 & 2025, CONQUER Super 200, MAD for PrelimsI have been associated with Satyam Sir since 2023. I was part of online sessions that he used to take when he himself was giving the exam. CONQUER program helped in building my speed while doing answer writing with Sir. In DAF also he helped a lot — pin-pointed role of keywords and presentation. Overall played an important role in building confidence as well.
AIR 14Surabhi YadavConquer Mains Answer Writing, Conquer Super 200 Group, Conquer SFG 2023When I joined US for the first time, I instantly recognized what makes an institution feel like a family. ‘US’ was one such institution that felt like home and catered to students. This attempt, US and team helped in bringing out my best and creating space which helped me in delivering Satyam Sir's insights. His trust in me and the opportunity he provided has been crucial for me.
AIR 19Nisar Dishant Amrutlal‘US’ Core Faculty · 2 UPSC SelectionsThank you to Satyam Sir for bringing MAD series. It is the most essential thing any aspirant can use in Prelims preparation.
