How do the courses work?

Each programme combines recorded lectures, structured discussion, answer-writing practice with rubric-based evaluation, and mentorship.

Who will be mentoring me?

Rohan Dange Sir, our Founder & Chief Mentor, personally mentors aspirants — including weekly 1:1 progress calls — drawing on 15+ years of UPSC coaching across international relations, economy, world history, essay and political science.

What makes Round Table IAS different from other coaching?

We teach through structured discussion and analytical rigour rather than rote learning. As Rohan Dange Sir puts it: "The UPSC doesn't test what you know — it tests how you think about what you know. Our job is to build that thinking muscle."
