The Prayas India Way
The Prayas Teaching Methodology of teaching involves three key pillars viz. Learn, Practice and Analyse. And they rigorously follow this pedagogy in class. Here’s what The Prayas India had to say about it, “Learn: An aspirant needs to first understand the topic conceptually. The Prayas India mentors help them and guide them for every topic.
Practice: On every topic questions for Pre and Main needs to be solved.
Analyse: An aspirant must give tests to analyse the performance and rank with all over India aspirants.”
