The journey of UPSC - from your reading room to the training rooms of LBSNAA - is filled with challenges. But, challenges also signal the opportunity of solving them with innovation. We know that for an aspirant like you, the vast syllabus, information overload, and lack of personalized mentorship, are some of the challenges.

But with new innovations, such as in the space of Artificial Intelligence, you can now remove these challenges and boost your preparation by getting disciplined, tracking your progress, identifying your strengths and weaknesses and also keep a check on your physical and mental health. 🧘🏻
