Some struggle with answer writing, some with completing the syllabus, while others find it difficult to manage revision. A standard course cannot address all these issues. That is why the Compass program focuses on individual guidance.

Each student works with a dedicated UPSC mentor who helps them plan their preparation, track progress, and improve their performance in tests and answer writing.
