I was a mentee of Mr. Dhananjay Gautam in the Lakshya Program of Vision IAS. He helped me tremendously in the following aspects (inclusive list): 1. Strategy: He helped me make a comprehensive strategy for Mains and helped me make the most of the time. I was able to compile & consolidate all notes and material with his guidance. 2. Answer Writing: He helped me understand the nuances of answer writing, reading the questions properly and explore the exact demand of the question. This allowed me to enrich my answers with his inputs with additions like diagrams, data, succinct introductions & concise conclusions 3. Exam Mindset: He helped me get in the rhythm of the Mains exam which is spread over 9 days. This was of great help since he encouraged me to write adequate mocks to test my preparation & recalling ability, and also asked me to write 2 mocks a day (3 hours each) to train my mind and body to get accustomed to the difficult part of Mains exam. 4. Overall mentorship and support: He was there for my counsel throughout the duration of my Mains preparation. Personal phone calls, group discussions and WhatsApp chats with him allowed me to get my doubts cleared which provides a conducive environment for any serious aspirant to study. Overall, Mr. Gautam is truly an incredible mentor and I am grateful for his guidance and I am truly grateful.
