"Touch the Sky with Glory." The direct route for Graduates/Engineers to become Class-1 Gazetted Officers in Flying, Technical, and Ground Duty branches.

Speed Math Tricks • AFSB 5-Day Prep

The Professional Edge

Focused preparation for Graduates who mean business.

To-The-Point Strategy

We respect your time. Our curriculum is stripped of fluff and focused solely on high-yield topics that appear in CDS/AFCAT exams.

Subject Experts

No generalists. Learn History from History post-grads, Polity from experts, and Maths from engineers. Depth matters in CDS.

Flexible Timings

We understand college schedules. Batches are available in mornings and evenings to suit final-year students and working professionals.

Current Affairs Mastery

Daily news analysis and weekly roundups focused on Defence, Geopolitics, and Economy—the backbone of the Written Exam and SSB.

SSB Psych Profiling

Don't wait for the written result. We start building your OLQs (Officer Like Qualities) through weekly interactions and psychology tests.

Precise Study Material

Condensed, high-impact notes. Why read 500 pages of rambling when 50 pages of targeted content can clear the cutoff?
