Students,
Around 80% of students scored below 100 in our basic polity test in their first attempt. This test was a part of our Prime Test Series.
Now, this test is not a very advanced level exam. It tries to examine basic facts given in Laxmikanth. Yet many students forget them. It happens to most of us, who cannot remember all those details in first and second reading.
This is where tests help us.
They provide a reality check and force you to go back to books. Now you identify which portions are crucial and thus important for Prelims. Next time you sit for a polity test – you’ll be better prepared, more vigilant about figures and facts and have the knowledge of Tikdams with you.
Incidentally, you’ll get around 600 of these over the course of 32 tests.

We are the only program where you don’t have to raise a ticket to talk to a mentor.
We are known to provide individual attention to students. We have further standardized our program. Now students can schedule a call within 2 days of receiving their checked copies by replying back to us with their availabilities. We have kept it 2 days so that your mentors can easily recall your attempt.
This is the biggest reason why you should join our TS. Major issues with your attempt will be highlighted and your improvement will be tracked in subsequent tests.
Our questions will now specifically state the following
>Whether they are straightforward or thought-provoking/analytical.
>Whether they have subparts.
>Why this question – similar previous year questions, the importance of the theme, etc.
CD Innovation – Rather than the regular uninspiring questions, we have gone the extra mile and crafted unique, intellectually-stimulating questions. These will reward analytical ability and critical thinking. These questions will be marked with a ‘star’.
Answer-copy evaluation in the industry has become stagnant. The focus is restricted to superficial, memory-based lapses rather than on analytical excellence and cross-domain inter-linkages.
Our stress will be on the following –
1. Superior introduction and conclusion.
2. Usage of subject-specific vocabulary.
3. Articulation proficiency.
4. Substantiating evidence like Government and International Reports and Indices.
5. Prominent and contemporary examples.
Thorough answer checking with oversight of rankers like Dr. Vipin Garg(AIR 20), Swapnil Pawar (AIR 525)
