Coaching classes, test series, correspondence courses I attended/enrolled for

In light of the advertisements appearing in various newspapers and magazines, I have been asked by numerous aspirants whether I attended a particular class, correspondence course or test series, etc.

Therefore, it behoves me to clarify as to which all classes, correspondence material or test series I attended or enrolled for during the last 3 years and all the teachers who have guided me.

Year	2009	2008	2007
Prelims	None	None	None
Mains	Pavan sir at Sriram’s for pub ad. They didn’t have any formal classes for pub ad. But I took extensive guidance from Pavan sir. My whole orientation and approach to pub ad was based on Pavan sir’s advice and assessment of my answers. Mukul Pathak sir at Vajiram for psychology. Didn’t join the classes. Went to him to get my answers checked and he helped me realise some of the mistakes I was committing in my earlier attempts.	None	GS crash course at Vajiram. I have commented on it earlier. Pub ad at Vajiram. I have commented on it earlier.
