"Through UPSC launch, we intend to cater to students who cannot afford costly coaching or study material. One of the key focus areas for us is to differentiate on the bilingual content based on new pattern. Though there is good content available in English, there is a huge need for the Hindi language content of the same level. After seeing the initial response from our users, we also plan to extend our offering to state PSCs by February 2017," said CEO and co-founder Gradeup, Shobhit Bhatnagar.

"At Gradeup, we have factored in the new pattern of analytical form while designing the various course structures. Our top class assessment platform helps students better understand what their weak and strong areas are and where they need to focus more. So far we have received great response from Delhi, Maharashtra, MP, UP and West Bengal. Candidates preparing for UPSC exams always worry about how to stay updated and get the best possible guidance. Here, students/aspirants can interact with each other, help each other, access study material and other resources relevant to them, assess themselves and see their progress in comparison to thousands of other students, and seek guidance from experts," said Atul Roy, who heads the UPSC Exam module at Gradeup.
