Nidhin K Biju, IAS (AIR 89, CSE 2019)

I attend Ritesh Sir’s essay classes at Rau’s IAS Study Circle. I would like to thank him for

his immense support, guidance and mentorship all throughout my preparation and not

just while I was attending his classes. He has great conceptual clarity about many

subjects. What distinguishes him from others is the simplicity of his explanation. He

helped me a lot in my answer writing and Interview preparation.

Priyadarshni Bhattacharya, IAS (AIR 66, CSE 2017)

I wish to express deep gratitude and appreciation for the continuous guidance and

support provided to me by Ritesh Sir from Rau’s IAS regarding the Essay paper. Sir

not only provided me with the comprehensive list of topics to be prepared for essay

paper but also helped hone my essay writing skills through his perceptive critical

feedback.

Amol Srivastava, IAS (AIR 83, CSE 2017)

I was a student of Rau’s IAS Study Circle where I got the opportunity to attend

Ritesh Sir’s essay classes. His essay classes are amazing. His classes are beyond

what you find in textbooks or newspaper and magazines. It is because he has

good experience in the government and social sector. The practical insights he

gives are very important for essay writing. The best part is that even after the

classes, Ritesh Sir helps you whenever you need his guidance. He helped me in both my UPSC interviews as well.

Harsh Kumar, IFS (AIR 157, CSE 2016)

Essay is one of the subjects in which one can score more. I scored 145 marks in my essay

paper which helped me secure a good rank. I was fortunate enough to have Ritesh Sir

from Rau’s IAS as my guide and mentor who helped me develop multi-dimensional

approach in essay writing which also helped me construct better answers in my GS

papers. I would like to thank Ritesh Sir who put a lot of effort in my essay writing

improvement.
