Why we exist

Talent is spread evenly across this country. Opportunity is not.

Uday Academy is a residential UPSC academy, founded in Nagpur in 2020 by the Seth Sanwaldas Dewani Charitable Trust — a dedicated place for the Sindhi community to prepare for the hardest examination in India, at fees kept deliberately low.

How we work

A few things we do differently

01

Residential, on purpose

You live where you study. No commute, no scattered hours — a settled, orderly place built around a single year of focused work.

02

Answer-writing from day one

The Mains is won on paper, not in the head. Our students write to a schedule from the first weeks, every script returned with comments.

03

Small batches, close mentoring

Few enough students that we know each one — guided through strategy, weak papers and every attempt by a faculty that includes a serving IPS officer.

The residential year

A day, built around one thing

No drama — just a calm, repeatable rhythm that removes a hundred small decisions, so a student's energy goes to the only thing that matters.

The examination · over a year

Three stages, and where the rank is built

I
Preliminary

Two objective papers in May. A screening gate — the marks do not count toward your rank, but you must clear it to go on.

Qualifying
II
Main Examination

Nine written papers across five days in August. This is where the rank is truly built — structured, timed writing under the clock.

1,750 marks
III
Personality Test

A considered conversation at UPSC in New Delhi — a test less of knowledge than of judgement, balance and clarity of thought.
