Dialectics IAS is an initiative by a team of experienced and dedicated professors to guide sincere civil services aspirants with Sociology optional subject. In the present circumstances, with the flooding of infinite information from every corner, Dialectics IAS aims to serve as a surfboard for aspirants to navigate through the vast ocean of knowledge. Let’s demystify and detox Sociology Answer-Writing for UPSC.
We are dedicated for qualitative One-To-One Mentorship. Due to very limited seats, we invite only serious, very serious civil services aspirants. At Dialectics IAS, we presume that the candidates enrolling for Sociology Optional Test Series have thoroughly covered and revised the syllabus of Sociology optional subject.
We believe in encouraging original thinking among candidates and, therefore, we don’t believe in providing standard model answers to each and every question. At an examination of UPSC level, such standard model answers may do more harm than good to the candidates. UPSC looks for originality, spontaneity and creativity. Our test series is aimed just for that. However, to guide candidates, some model answers would be shared from time to time. We also wouldn’t be uploading the answer-scripts of toppers for the same reason. We aim to highlight and encourage individual differences among candidates, not level them.
We don’t believe in short-cuts or spoon-feeding through model answers. Instead, we help you build analytical independence — the quality UPSC examiners truly look for. Since each candidate is unique, specially designed mentorship program is suggested for each and every candidate.
