Meera K IAS

"I was a paid subscriber of ClearIAS Prelims Online Mock Test Series. The ClearIAS platform is highly user-friendly. It’s is quite easy to revise mock exams on the ClearIAS mobile app.The explanations are short, crisp and clear. I practised and revised ClearIAS online mock exams from my mobile whenever I got time and it really helped me in my prelims preparation. The all-India ranking helped me to analyse my performance at a pan-India level even before the actual UPSC exam. Thank you ClearIAS" - Meera K IAS, AIR 6, ClearIAS Online Student
