From Kolkata, preparing for the UPSC exam was a major hassle a decade ago. Serious UPSC aspirants in Kolkata had no choice but to relocate to Delhi. The UPSC environment, experienced teachers, and high-quality study materials were all lacking in Kolkata. That’s when APTI PLUS came in.
We decided to bring Delhi’s best faculty to Kolkata so that students don’t have to leave their hometown to get the best IAS coaching institute. Not as guest lecturers or visiting teachers, but as full-time, permanent mentors!
As a result, APTI PLUS made history by bringing the top UPSC instructors from prestigious Delhi institutions to the doorsteps of students in Eastern India, specifically Kolkata and Bhubaneswar. Today, our students don’t need to go to the best UPSC Delhi faculty because the best minds are already here, guiding them in every step of their preparation.
No Local Faculty! Best UPSC Delhi faculty
At APTI PLUS, none of our teachers are local or temporary. Every member of the faculty has years of teaching experience at the highest level in India’s prestigious UPSC institutions. Among the many coaching institutes where they have worked are Vajiram & Ravi, Vision IAS, Shubhra Ranjan, ALS, Rau’s, and Drishti. These professors are not visiting lecturers for a short period of time.
Their comprehensive subject coverage, mentoring, and test preparation make them a vital part of our academic team. Our educators leave their homes in Delhi or Hyderabad, stay for the necessary time, and devote themselves to finishing the subject. As a result, you can rest assured that your education in Kolkata and Bhubaneswar will be of the same, if not higher,
Meet Our UPSC Delhi Faculty Members
Our faculty members are not local. All of our faculty teaching members are experienced instructors who have worked at some of the best UPSC institutions in India. Many of them come from well-known organizations like Vajiram & Ravi, Vision IAS, Shubhra Ranjan IAS, ALS IAS, and Rau’s IAS.

Dr. Vivek Kaushik, Polity expert, has been associated with Vajiram & Ravi and Rau’s IAS. He has been a part of our organization since 2016.
