I have come to know about Abhyankar IAS through Ameya sir. I interacted with Aashay sir before mains 2016 over phone and used to send my answer scripts for feedback. Sir has suggested improvements like sticking to fundamentals, defining the concepts asked in question rather than directly jumping to answer them, and including government schemes where ever needed etc. These are the points which many of us tend to ignore as silly paying huge costs. I and Kiran have completely relied on Aashay sir for interview preparation. Sir made us meet many ex-bureaucrats who boosted our confidence and it made us comfortable interacting with such seniors. So, facing the interview board never "scared" us! Also, he has taken many personal sessions, one-on-one mock interviews and used to provide instant feedback. Regular motivation before interview ensured that we are in the right spirits and gave our best during the interview. Interactions with Aashay sir was not just confined to civil services exam, it was a personally enriching experience too providing a holistic and broad-minded approach to exam and the life. I thank Aashay and Ameya Sir for guiding me for the exam, and also wish them great success in guiding future aspirants for civil services.
