What Our CSAT Students Say About Us

Deepankar Singh

I joined the course last month & I really liked it. It has made learning easy for me as after attending the classes, I can read & understand the same exact chapters at a faster pace. The explanations are quite deep & sufficient enough to understand the basics. Also, the teachers respond to the Queries on time. The course was worth the money.

Madhav Pawar

The course is excellent & the classes are in a certain way that normal student like me who have no idea about the UPSC subjects can understand easily. CL Teachers are awesome, no more word to say about them. Thank you CL Team.

Govind Kumar

The classroom experience at Career Launcher was very satisfying. The course curriculum was very close to the pattern of Civil Services Prelims and it helped me in clearing CSP.

Mangminlian Vaiphei

Career Launcher was very helpful in my preparation for Civil Services Prelims. The classes and the test series are very rigorous and make one attain the much needed edge in the aptitude paper (CAT). Thank you, Career Launcher!

Garima Tiwari

Career Launcher's Test Series was very helpful in keeping me on track with the syllabus and pattern.

Gaurav

Without CSAT batch I would not have qualified for Civil Services as that's the most important part of the Prelims examination. Regular practice and doubt session in the class have helped a lot and the TS helped practice question before the examination. As I had an engineering background the faculty members guided me to through the comprehensions.
