Rank 22 Riya saini

Hello everyone, I’m Riya Saini, and I secured All India Rank 22 in UPSC CSE 2024 with Sociology as my optional subject. As any UPSC aspirant would agree, choosing the right guidance and mentorship can make a world of difference — and for me, that guidance came from Triumph IAS and Vikash Ranjan Sir.

Why I Chose Triumph IAS for Sociology

When I began preparing for sociology, I realized the overwhelming number of resources available could actually add to the confusion rather than simplify the process. That’s when I came across Vikash Ranjan Sir’s Sociology Test Series at Triumph IAS — and it turned out to be a game-changer.

Sir has a well-earned reputation for being one of the best mentors in the UPSC sociology space. His teaching methodology is unique — he emphasizes simplifying the preparation process by focusing on what he calls the “Knowledge Matrix.” This approach allows students to consolidate their learning and focus on improving answer writing rather than getting lost in an endless loop of new materials.

Personalized Guidance That Makes a Difference

One of the most helpful aspects of Sir’s mentorship is his accessibility. You can reach out to him any time, and he’ll be there to guide you. What truly sets him apart is that he personally evaluates the test papers. This personal involvement helps him pinpoint individual flaws in answer writing, allowing students to make precise improvements.

In a process as stressful as the UPSC CSE journey, this kind of personalized feedback and motivation goes a long way. His guidance was calming and reassuring, especially during moments of doubt or low confidence.

Going Beyond the Classroom

Even though I wasn’t part of the essay writing program at Triumph IAS, Vikash Sir still went out of his way to share essay strategies and interview tips with me. This kind of commitment to student success, even beyond the confines of a specific course, is rare and truly appreciated.

Throughout my journey, Sir’s motivational messages, strategic notes, and constant support played a vital role not just in sociology, but in my overall preparation.

Gratitude to Triumph IAS

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Vikash Ranjan Sir and the entire Triumph IAS team. The test series, personal guidance, and continuous motivation helped me stay focused and confident, ultimately leading to my success in the UPSC CSE 2024.

To all aspirants out there — if you’re considering sociology as your optional, Triumph IAS and Vikash Ranjan Sir are truly worth it.
