IAS Rank - 4, 2022

I enrolled in both the Zoology Optional Regular Course and the Zoology Test Series at Evolution, which played an instrumental role in my UPSC preparation. Evolution enabled me to prepare comprehensive, high-quality Zoology notes which became the backbone of my Main Examination study material.
Despite having been a B. Sc. Life Sciences Topper (Rank-2) at Delhi University, the classes at Evolution served to enhance my understanding, added significant value to my existing knowledge base and helped me frame my answers.I
also feel that many topics and questions in the Main Examination are at the Masters level. Thanks to Evolution, I was able to grasp these advanced topics also efficiently.
Abhishek Sir has been a constant pillar of support throughout my journey. He took the time to patiently check our work and provided us much-needed mentorship. Even two years after completing the course, I was able to reach out to him and the rest of the team and received help and encouragement, which is truly remarkable.

I prepared my Zoology optional with Evolution's Self-paced Pre-recorded course for the Civil Service and IFoS Examinations.
I found the course and notes to be very helpful and in alignment with the UPSC demands.
The classes helped me sharpen my subject-matter understanding and the demands of effective answer writing.

I prepared both my optional subjects with Evolution for the Civil Service and IFoS Examinations. Despite being a B.Tech. in Computer Science, I mastered subjects like Botany with Forestry with reasonable ease and felt confident in the exams.The course and notes have been exactly in tune with the needs of the examination. For most of my preparation, I relied only on my class-notes.

Every member of the Evolution team has been a source of immense help, support, guidance and motivation for me. In fact, now I identify myself also as a part of it. While many persons & institutions helped me in achieving my & my family’s dream, Evolution’s was the most dominant force …the Optimus Prime. I shall always remain indebted to Evolution. Thanks a lot:)

Evolution helped me quickly improve my preparation from a generalist CSE Paper 3 level to the depth required for IFoS. I have seen many of my friends struggle due to lack of a good, consolidated source.
Evolution's extremely relevant and comprehensive coverage of these topics definitely added value to my preparation. Abhishek Sir's lectures were rigorous, yet focused and engaging. The narrative format of delivery improved my understanding, as well as retention, reducing the need for revision.
