Hi Tree,
The moment I saw your site, it behold me .There is no comparison , you guys specifically excel at the site outlook , design , aesthetics and most importantly NO ADS – no one wants to see underwear ads while reading , they are just annoying.
Seems you have done enough research on aesthetics and font design so that readers get a a very pleasant reading experience.
most importantly I was very impressed the answers you gave for the debates , i am looking forward to be part of your mains program as well.
I joined your prelims series and the questions were very well framed and at par with UPSC.If i remember correctly there were nearly 10 question from your last mock test before the exam itself which was asked in the exam.
The set on environment and culture were too good.As you mentioned to treat them as notes , so i did and it was beneficial.
Also I saw the prelims keys and your logical way of approaching question is what i want to learn.
Thank you UTree, Looking forward for MAINS program.

Kindly do not cease these initiatives. Thank you once again for your efforts.
