“I was a student of Vijaya Sarathy sir during my UPSC preparation.
My anthropology optional answer writing was refined and fine tuned under sir’s guidance. His valuable insights into what is expected from an examiner perspective helped me align my writing skills to maximise the marks and score 289/500.Very grateful for mentoring me which has helped achieve this feat.”- Ramya Rangaswamy, IAS

With regard to Answer evaluation, I have taken Anthropology Answer Writing Program from Sarathy Sir, during my 2020 Mains period and it has been quite elaborate. Like I used to write and send and sir used to call me. He used to evaluate at first and then I used to see the answer copy, then he used to call me and said you could have done this better and the introduction could have been more relevant, you could have added more context with regard to this. So, I have added more points in that and …. actually, I have scored better marks in anthropology. “ – Bharat, IPS
@bipashabist7010Anthropology as a subject needs a guide for you to understand the nuances of the syllabus. For acing the anthropology optional, clarity on keywords (mentioned in the syllabus and implied ones) is the key. I can say with utmost honesty that sir has the art of making the topic so easy for you that you would be willing to read more about it. He evokes that interest for the subject in you. I have had the opportunity to be sir’s student. I wouldn’t lie, I had doubts while purchasing the course because of the ocean of content and institutes present in the upsc coaching domain. You tend to become confused with the amount of options present at your disposal. But just after 10 classes, I sighed with relief and was assured that I was with the right mentor, taking the right path. He focuses deeply on concepts and subtly even teaches us how to approach uncertain questions. His pedagogy and communication skills are great. He is the kind of teacher we all wish to have. Don’t waste time in finding the perfect institute or teacher for guidance. I’m sure there will be many great teachers but being sir’s student, I can objectively tell you that he is that guide/companion/ mentor who can help you sail comfortably through anthropology as an optional subject for UPSC.
Sir Your style of presentation is excellent, your literally knowledge of the subject and expertise is very apparent, your enthusiasm and dedication for the topic really showed through the lectures and help engage each and every student in learning. All the students are very thankful to you sir and your dedication towards your students is something commendable, a heartfelt thankyou 🙂

Vijay sir classes were very authentic and sir had a great knowledge on the subject of anthropology…He is the best faculty for anthropology. Thank you so much sir for making me as a student of yours…
I would say he is the true teacher of anthropology. He himself loves anthropology so much and with his exceptional way of teaching, keyword approach and the story telling , he makes his students fall in love with the anthropology. Before joining the classes I had lot of doubts in mind whether to join it or not as there was no publicity of about his classes…but once I started attending his lectures, from 2 3 lectures only I got the confidence that I have got the right mentor who can make me sail through this upsc journey. I thank God for gifting me such great mentor

Simple, lively, enjoyable…these are the things that I get into my mind when I think of Vijaya sarathy sir’s anthropology classes. The way he explains each and every topic is nothing short of an artist who paints an art in an artistic way. The keyword approach through which sir covers the whole syllabus is an extraordinary way because at the end of the day, we have to cover each and every term of the syllabus in a 360 degree angle conceptual wise and sir has mastered in that way of teaching. Apart from that, the notes given and implicit meanings explained by sir makes us remember the concepts in our mind and heart for a long time. The real life examples given by sir are very enriching and make us connect to the living world. The motivation given during the classes is not only helpful in this upsc journey but also shapes our personality. The success mantras, the strategy, life stories, experiences of his life… what not !!!… Vijay sir’s classes are a colourful festival to enjoy with. One word I can say is that… Vijaya Sarathy sir is the true teacher of anthropology and I feel glad that I got an opportunity to train under Vijay sir.

Vijay sir is one of the best faculties for Anthropology in India.
Besides providing the best teaching, He provides authentic notes for all the syllabus topics without unwanted stuff.
His keyword approach of teaching makes students familiar with the subject all the time… He is a passionate teacher who always thinks about the welfare of the students instead of filling pockets.
There is a saying “A parent is the first teacher and a teacher is the second parent” Vijay sir guides students like a parent and creates a feasible environment to interact with him to clarify doubts and to give tips on answer writing.
Answer writing is the crucial part in UPSC aspirant life.
Sir advices,tips are highly useful to provide holistic answers in Anthropology
If one wants to take Anthropology as an optional he/she can directly approach sir without any hesitation.
He will make the subject easy for us with his teaching.
Thank you

Despite of its vast syllabus Anthropology is one of the best subjects and I’m glad I have chosen it. If one could resonate with the way Vijaya Sarathy sir teaches the subject, I’m sure they will enjoy the subject rather than just learning it. And my favorite thing is that he uses the new vocabulary which you could add to your lexicon and constantly improve yourself. To simply put, his classes are interactive, supportive and thought provoking, it helps one build their personality.
Thanks sir, for all the things I have learned and going to learn in the future from your classes.
