To qualify the civil services examination, one does not only have to toil hard in its preparation but also seek guidance from experienced teachers to ensure that the preparation goes in the right direction. The civil services examination, conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), is considered toughest among all competitive exams in India. For its preparation, a large number of civil services aspirants leave their hometown and village to join popular coaching institutes located in Delhi and some other expensive cities, incurring huge expenditure on their stay and study.
To help students prepare for the civil services exam from the comforts of their home with comparatively much less expenditure than what they would incur in joining coaching institutes in Delhi and other cities, Edukemy—an Ed-Tech company based in Noida and Bengaluru —offers online learning through its unique digital platform.
