FromtheDirector'sDesk
The UPSC Civil Services Examination is feared by many as an invincible dragon, but yes even the most
daunting challenges can be defeated. What is required is Self-belief and proper guidance. While the former
is dependent on a number of internal and external factors, the latter is purely external, and this is where we
excel. The credentials of the great Arjuna were beyond doubt, but even he required Lord Krishna to act as a
friend,philosopherandguidetoachievehistruepotential.
In essence, the need of a credible and knowledgeable GURU is an imperative and cannot be understated
throughoutthisarduousjourneyofbecomingaCivilServant.
