Student Reviews
I like EduSure particularly because of how well organised their content on the portal was, their videos on all the topics were excellent, and I could access everything at my convenience. What helped me the most where the short notes for every chapter, which helped me revise quickly.
Even though the classes can be online, you can ask your doubts and they will always respond. Ma'am and Sir are extremely nice teachers, they helped me understand so many concepts and helped us plan and strategise these exams.
I feel very fortunate to have Samkith Sir and Mahima Ma'am as our teachers because I feel that without their consistent efforts and sincere commitments I wouldn't have been able to crack ISI's entrance exam and also IIT JAM. Cracking these entrance exams will be a lot lot easier with EduSure.
" I never had to look for any other guidance- EduSure books & Student Portal were more than sufficient. I blindly followed Samkith Sir's advice to practice DSE 15 years, 5 times "
" I used to give regular Mock Tests organised by EduSure team along with full attendance in their doubt sessions. "
" Watching the solution videos from the portal and practicing past year question papers for 4 to 5 times got me into ISI "
" The Student Portal and all the other resources provided by EduSure was very handy and helped a lot "
“ Mahima ma’am (DSE) and Ankit sir (ISI) had carefully strategized the way to target these exams. ”
" Not a self study person- EduSure classes helped me a lot "
