New Delhi [India], May 28 : For aspiring civil servants in India, the path to an IAS officer position is often seen as an expensive one. Coaching institutes with hefty fees can create a significant financial barrier. But the Catalyst Group, with branches in Jaipur and Delhi, is challenging this notion by offering quality UPSC preparation at an affordable price.
Their unique approach focuses on providing students with the necessary tools and guidance for success, all for a yearly fee of just ₹16,000. Over the past three years, Catalyst Group has shattered the myth that selection requires exorbitant coaching fees.
The institute boasts an impressive track record. In 2022, they celebrated the success of 35 students who cleared the rigorous UPSC exam. And in 2023, the number climbed even higher, with a remarkable 21 students securing positions in the coveted civil services.
Leading the charge is Mr. Akhand Swaroop Pandit, the institute’s founder. A UPSC rank holder himself (All India Rank 144), Mr. Pandit left behind a secure government position as an Assistant Commissioner/Director in 2017, driven by a passion to make quality education accessible.
Rishab, a recent UPSC topper and Catalyst Group alumnus, attributes his success to the exceptional guidance he received from Mr. Pandit and the entire Catalyst team. “The way they taught the subjects at such a nominal fee is just outstanding,” he says. He emphasizes the importance of the personalized mentorship provided by the institute, which he believes played a key role in his achievement.
The Catalyst Group’s story is one of defying expectations. They are proving that with the right guidance and dedication, even with limited financial resources, the dream of becoming an IAS officer can become a reality.
