FAQ
Master Course
Indian Polity & Constitution

Ans: The Master Course on Indian Polity & Constitution is Mantra IAS Institute’s flagship program, designed and taught by Tejas Rajgor. It covers 100% of the Indian Polity & Constitution syllabus for competitive exams in India through 300+ video lectures, 200+ hours of bilingual (Hindi + English) content, twice-weekly live doubt sessions, and complete PDF study material.

Ans: The Master Course is one of India’s most comprehensive and affordable online Polity courses — 300+ lectures dedicated to a single subject, covering 100% of the syllabus including every landmark judgment. It’s taught by Tejas Rajgor, a Polity specialist with 10+ years of experience, delivered bilingually (Hindi + English), starting at Rs 99, with live doubt-clearing sessions twice a week.

Ans: For UPSC preparation, the Master Course offers complete Indian Polity coverage that a standard GS Foundation batch typically can’t match. Traditional coaching institutes allocate roughly 40–90 lectures to Polity, covering about 50–60% of the syllabus. The Master Course dedicates 300+ Video Lectures and 200+ Hours of Content exclusively to Indian Polity & Constitution, covering every chapter of the 8th Edition of M. Laxmikanth, landmark judgments, Constitutional Law, and Good Governance.

Ans: A traditional GS Foundation batch covers 50–60% of the Polity syllabus in 40–90 lectures, spread across 10–12 subjects taught by generalist faculty, with limited doubt-clearing time, at a fee running into lakhs. The Master Course covers 100% of the syllabus in 300+ video lectures consisting of 200+ hours dedicated solely to Polity, taught by a specialist faculty, with doubt-clearing sessions twice a week, starting at Rs 99.

Ans: This is the core philosophy of Mantra IAS Institute: one focused institution rather than a multi-subject platform; every lecture personally taught by Tejas Rajgor; complete dedication to Indian Polity & Constitution as the sole subject; full syllabus coverage with no topic skipped; and relevance across UPSC, all State PCS, and other competitive exams that include Polity.

Ans: Yes. The course is designed to start from zero. Part 1 consists of 41 foundational concept lectures covering topics such as Country vs Nation vs State, Republic vs Monarchy, Parliamentary vs Presidential System, Federal vs Unitary System, and Fundamental Rights vs DPSP vs Fundamental Duties. These build a strong conceptual foundation before Part 2’s advanced chapters, making the course suitable for both complete beginners and experienced aspirants.

Ans: Yes. The Master Course starts at Rs 99 for 1 month — the most affordable entry point for a complete, 300+ lecture, specialist-taught Polity course in India. Traditional coaching institutes charge fees in lakhs for GS Foundation batches that cover Polity partially. The Rs 99 Basic Plan gives full access to the same content, faculty, and quality at a fraction of the cost.

Ans: No. The Master Course is designed for all competitive exams that include Indian Polity — UPSC (CSE, IPS, IFS, IRS, IFoS, CAPF, EPFO, CDS, NDA), all State PCS exams (GPSC, UPPSC, BPSC, MPPSC, RPSC, TNPSC, KPSC, WBPSC, OPSC, APPSC, CGPSC, HPSC, JKPSC, MPSC, and others), plus SSC, CLAT, and LLB/LLM entrance exams.

Ans: Yes. Since all State PCS exams test the same Indian Constitution and Polity framework as UPSC, the Master Course’s 300+ lectures cover the complete syllabus for all State PCS exams, including GPSC, UPPSC, BPSC, MPPSC, RPSC, TNPSC, KPSC, and others. State-specific constitutional provisions, Centre-State relations, and local governance are all included.

Ans: Yes. The Master Course covers the complete Indian Polity syllabus tested in SSC CGL, SSC CHSL, CDS, and NDA exams. The 41 Basic Concept lectures in Part 1 are especially useful for SSC and defence exam aspirants who need a clear, conceptual understanding of Polity quickly.

Ans: Yes. The Master Course includes deep coverage of Constitutional Law, Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles, Landmark Judgments, Judicial Review, and PIL — all directly tested in CLAT, AILET, and other law entrance exams. The LLB background of faculty Tejas Rajgor adds an extra dimension of legal interpretation to the content.

Ans: Yes — and it’s strongly recommended. GS Foundation batches at traditional institutes typically cover 50–60% of the Polity syllabus. The Master Course covers the remaining 40–50% and adds far greater depth on every topic. Many students use it as a Polity supplement alongside their existing GS Foundation coaching.

Ans: The Master Course has three parts. Part 1 covers 41 Basic Concept Lectures on foundational topics like Republic vs Monarchy, Federal vs Unitary, Parliamentary vs Presidential System, Types of Democracy, Rule of Law, and Constitutional Bodies. Part 2 covers 80+ Advanced Topic Lectures coordinated with the 8th Edition of M. Laxmikanth, covering Historical Background, Preamble, Fundamental Rights, DPSP, Parliament, President, Judiciary, State Legislature, Emergency Provisions, and Local Government. Part 3 covers Special Lectures on key Constitutional Articles, Current Affairs, PYQ analysis, Mains Answer Writing, and Prelims + Mains Syllabus Analysis.

Ans: The Master Course consists of 300+ recorded video lectures covering every topic and sub-topic of Indian Polity & Constitution — more than 3 times the lectures offered in a standard GS Foundation batch.

Ans: Yes. The course includes dedicated lectures on landmark judgments and their impact on Constitutional Law, judgments expanding the scope of Article 21, judgments relating to Constitutional Amendments, and key Supreme Court decisions relevant to competitive exams.

Ans: Yes. Part 2 of the course is coordinated with the 8th Edition of M. Laxmikanth for easy cross-reference. However, the content goes beyond Laxmikanth — compiled from multiple books, newspapers, articles, and primary sources — to provide exam-ready, complete coverage.

Ans: Yes. The course includes dedicated Current Affairs lectures covering recent developments in Indian Polity — new Constitutional amendments, important Supreme Court judgments, governance-related current affairs, and Polity-specific news relevant to competitive exams.

Ans: Yes. The course includes Mains Answer Writing practice after lectures, plus dedicated Mains Answer Writing sessions in Part 3. There is no separate Mains Test Series — the focus is on building conceptual depth that supports both Prelims MCQs and Mains answers.

Ans: The Master Course is primarily Prelims/MCQ-oriented — approximately 60% of the content is focused on Prelims preparation. It also includes around 40% Mains-relevant content through conceptual depth, answer writing sessions, and current affairs coverage. It is not a standalone Mains Test Series.

Ans: All subscription plans include chapter-wise PDF notes after every lecture, practice MCQs (chapter-wise, sectional, and full-length tests), solved and unsolved PYQs in PDF and video format, charts and diagrams for quick revision, and a Current Affairs Crux compiled by the faculty.

Ans: Yes. Since the course is bilingual, the study material is designed to support both Hindi and English medium students.

Ans: No. Study material is provided in PDF format, downloadable from the website and app after subscription — no hard copies are provided. This is a deliberate choice to keep the course affordable and accessible to students across India.

Ans: Study material is available for immediate download from the website (www.mantraias.com) and the Android & iOS App after enrollment and subscription activation.

Ans: The faculty recommends starting with recorded lectures for all syllabus topics, since they’re structured, sequenced, and designed for self-paced learning. Live sessions are specifically for doubt clearing, not first-time topic coverage — watch recorded lectures first, note your doubts, then bring them to the live session.

Ans: Yes. The faculty strongly recommends making your own notes while watching every lecture, since the chapter-wise PDFs are in bullet-point and chart format for quick revision. Watch each lecture actively while writing short notes, then compare them with the provided PDF afterward. Your personal notes plus the faculty PDF together form the most effective revision system.

Ans: The recommended approach is a step-by-step revision cycle: first, re-read your personal notes from the lecture; second, go through the chapter-wise PDF; third, solve the chapter-wise practice MCQs; fourth, attempt PYQs for that topic; and for a final revision before the exam, re-watch the lecture at 1.5x speed.

Ans: Start with chapter-wise MCQs after completing each chapter, move to sectional tests after a group of related chapters, and attempt full-length tests once the full syllabus is complete. Review every wrong answer by going back to the relevant lecture or PDF.

Ans: Write a short answer after every lecture on the key concept covered, attend the dedicated Mains Answer Writing sessions in Part 3, and bring answer-writing doubts to the live doubt-clearing sessions for direct faculty feedback.

Ans: The course is designed like an encyclopaedia of Indian Polity — all content is available at all times during your subscription. The faculty recommends a chapter-by-chapter approach: complete one chapter fully (lecture, notes, PDF, MCQ, PYQ) before moving to the next. Since all lectures are recorded, there is no fixed schedule — students can learn entirely at their own pace.

Ans: The Master Course offers 3 plans on 1 course. The Basic Plan (Rs 99) has 1-month validity and includes all recorded lectures, live doubt clearing twice a week, full syllabus access, and PDFs, PYQs, and tests. The Standard Plan (Rs 999) has 1-year validity with everything in the Basic Plan. The Premium Plan (Rs 9,999) has 1-year validity with everything in the Standard Plan plus personal mentorship by Tejas Rajgor, with admission by interview and limited seats.

Ans: The Rs 99 Basic Plan is a trial plan, not the main course fee. Faculty Tejas Rajgor advises every new student to start with the Basic Plan (1 month, Rs 99) to experience the teaching quality, course structure, and content before committing to the full year. If satisfied, students can upgrade to the Standard Plan (Rs 999 / 1 year), so no student’s money is wasted.

Ans: Both plans give access to the exact same content — same lectures, study material, live sessions, PYQs, and tests. They differ solely in validity: the Basic Plan (Rs 99) runs for 1 month, and the Standard Plan (Rs 999) runs for 1 year.

Ans: The Premium Plan (Rs 9,999 for 1 year) includes everything in the Standard Plan plus personal mentorship by Tejas Rajgor. Because of the personal attention required, a limited number of students are enrolled, and admission requires an interview with the faculty. Interested students can contact the institute directly on WhatsApp at 98001-98005.

Ans: Yes. Refunds are available subject to the conditions in the official Refund and Cancellation Policy on www.mantraias.com. Students are advised to read the Refund Policy before enrollment.

Ans: No. There is no view limit — students can watch any lecture any number of times during their active subscription period. This is especially useful for revision before exams.

Ans: Live doubt-clearing sessions are conducted twice every week — for all enrolled students across all plans (Basic, Standard, and Premium).

Ans: All live doubt-clearing sessions are personally conducted by Tejas Rajgor, the sole faculty of Mantra IAS Institute. No sessions are delegated to assistants or other teachers.

Ans: No. Live sessions are specifically for doubt clearing, not first-time topic coverage — all syllabus topics are covered in recorded lectures. They’re optional but strongly recommended for clearing doubts and getting direct feedback from the faculty.

Ans: Since live sessions are held twice every week, students who miss one session can attend the next one. Students are advised to note their doubts while watching recorded lectures and bring them to the next available live session.

Ans: Yes. The course is designed for 100% personalised doubt resolution — Tejas Rajgor personally addresses every student’s doubt during live sessions. This level of individual attention is possible because the faculty teaches a single subject, allowing complete focus on student queries.

Ans: The Master Course is primarily Prelims/MCQ-oriented — approximately 60% of the content is structured for Prelims preparation. It includes around 40% Mains-relevant content through deep conceptual coverage, answer writing practice, and current affairs. It is not a standalone Mains Test Series.

Ans: Yes. The course includes Previous Year Questions (PYQs) for both Prelims and Mains, in solved and unsolved format, available as PDF and video. PYQs are provided exam-wise — UPSC, State PCS, SSC, and other competitive exams.

Ans: Yes. The Master Course covers Mains answer-writing practice for Indian Polity & Constitution, aligned with the UPSC and State PCS Mains GS-II syllabus.
