Experience – cordial no cross questioning, smiling but middle of questions expression less

Utility of mocks – boosting confidence and articulation power. DRISHTI – poor level of questions ; unacademy was good, Byjus was worst especially “PP” affected confidence severely he scolded my soul out of my body, Sri ram ias food advices, vajiram great….Frank rausen Pereira was supportive….good advices….one to one with Ravindran sir was most benificial
