Got 116 marks in essay this year; in 2023 I had got 101 marks. This improvement is phenomenal because of the decisiveness of the essay paper in determining rank and service. You played an important role in my rank — you were in touch with me every day during Mains and after Mains for interview prep too.

I could never have secured a rank in the UPSC without your guidance. Your dedicated, student-specific and kind-hearted guidance helped me maintain a positive mindset throughout my journey, even after three failed attempts. Your mentorship has been like a compass to navigate the bottomless world of this exam.

Sir’s approach towards essay writing, valuable feedbacks and emphasis on clear expression helped me score 120 marks in CSE 2025.

My score improved from 99 to 109 — every mark was crucial to secure this rank. The best part was your 1-on-1 evaluation. I submitted 3–4 essay tests in the last 10 days and even amidst huge workload, you evaluated them within 1–2 days with live personalised feedback on call. This helped me fine-tune my writing in the final stretch.

Essay writing did not come naturally to me, but your methods helped me understand topics better, structure my thoughts effectively, and eventually score well enough to secure AIR 205. I will always remain grateful for your passionate guidance, mentorship, and genuine care throughout the journey.

The skill enhancement classes helped me discover different approaches of writing an essay with a proper structure and framework. I also got rid of the PESTEL approach, which was necessary to bring proper flow in my essay. The expertise enhancement classes helped me express myself in a more effective and concise manner — which is the demand of the UPSC essay paper.

This was a game changer for me — talking to Farees Sir and starting his guidance for essay resulted in a very good score of 128. The USP of this entire course is Farees Sir. His precise, bullseye suggestions with respect to your essay is what sets him apart. Time and again with his one-on-one feedback, he would pinpoint the exact thing to fix.

Sir has a very scientific way of approaching essay. He divides the essay into different parts and helps structure each part effectively — introduction, conclusion, body. His classes are known for being very interactive, making us think and give answers right there in class. For Essays, ethics and mentorship, Farees Sir is the absolute best!

I honestly don’t know where to start — this rank wouldn’t have happened without you. From clearing doubts to calming nerves, from explaining concepts to sharing life lessons, you’ve been so much more than just a teacher. I am grateful for a good essay score of 111. This rank is as much yours as it is mine.

Sir used to pick up one thing at a time — the flow, the content, the conclusion — and make sure I worked on that alone until it improved. Then he’d move to the next aspect. That customized and personalized feedback really made me focus on what I needed to improve. Farees Sir was the sole reason for my very good score of 130 in Essay.

After I joined Essay Edge, I understood how each part of the essay should be tackled properly. After every essay, Farees Sir gave me personalized inputs — not generic advice, but tailored to how I write. This consistently led to improvements and ultimately my score went from 100 in 2020 to 138 in 2023, one of the highest marks.

Farees sir was and is my Dronacharya and my Pir (guide). Sir is always available and pushed me beyond my limits. It is Farees sir who guided me to transform from an aspirant to an officer.
