Why is Smash 2024 the best way to prepare for mains?

• Individual attention and approachability are the USPs of this program.

• Not putting Penguins among the Fowls – You already know how to write an average answer (you’re missing it by a few marks actually). You want to know how to increase your score from 90 to 110-115. The approach followed by other institutes in their Test series is the same for a veteran and beginners and here lies the problem. Without a personalized post-test review, rectifying these minute yet very important shortcomings will be difficult.
• Evaluation is the strength of this program. Unlike other institutes where evaluation is outsourced to those who themselves have not appeared for mains (It’s bizarre). It shouldn’t be based on ‘model answers’ as there are 3-4 ways of approaching an answer. Only a seasoned player will be able to go beyond these model answers and appreciate your approach (If it’s innovative) even if it differs from the model answers provided.
• Test copies get checked in a time-bound manner. The questions, answers, and material provided are of the highest quality.
• Always on time and insightful discussions end with a reality check and motivation to perform better in the next test.
  Emphasis on execution and utilization of knowledge – Mains is not only about knowledge but the way you express the relevant knowledge in the most optimum manner. 
• Our interventions are highly specific and not generalized. Sitting right in front of you he walks you through every question. Always there, he will not let you lose your focus.
• We deliver what we promise.

Progression of the program

After completing the Mains Test series, you will have a one-to-one detailed, and in-depth interaction. Final refinements are done to every answer.

Our focus will be on providing tips that add the missing X factor to your answers.
