Our Student Success Stories!
Shipra ma’am has helped me achieve the impossible. I used to tell her that getting a rank for NID is one of my biggest goals and I used to think of it as a wild dream.
It was only through the help, teaching, and guidance that I was able to achieve this. Not only for PG, Shipra ma’am was there for me during my UG prep as well.
The personalized and focused guidance I got is unmatched (and will probably forever be). It was one of the biggest factor for my success and I think that is one of the things I am most thankful for as well.

Being a NIFT aspirant, when I did my due research about the right place to help me with my prepration - almost everyone suggested me to enroll to Shipra Madam’s guidance program.
A special heartfelt thank you to Shipra Ma’am for showering me with impeccable Knowledge
