Abhimanu’s
IAS study group- A profile.
“In all your undertakings, let a reasonable
assurance animate your endeavors.
And remember that if you despair of success,
you cannot hope to succeed…”
The above aphorism rightly describes the persona of
a person who once dared to think beyond the ordinary, took every adverse
circumstance in his stride and laid the foundation of an enterprise what is
today known as Abhimanu Visions. Abhimanu Visions is essentially a product of
somebody’s unlimited vision; a vision of providing the best of the products and
services in that domain of human endeavour which largely is in its nascent
stage of evolution even in the present context and more or less is still
considered as a fledgling industry…
Nevertheless, an unlimited vision and a
relentless desire to see the fruition of such a vision through unabated efforts
has what that created the beautiful edifice of Abhimanu’s IAS study group that
today stands tall and aloft among all its counterparts not only in the region,
but anywhere in the country as well.
It has
undoubtedly become an object of everybody’s envy although, some have equally
tried to emulate Abhimanu’s style and stature without much success just
because, you can only copy somebody’s outwardly features but certainly not somebody’s
intrinsic vision that largely comes with somebody’s way of looking at life.
The
Inception: Abhimanu vision’s came into inception in the year 1999 as a brain child of Mr. Parveen Bansal, Managing Director who
personified a live example of what it takes to think beyond the ordinary and
stretching someone’s vision to create a magnificent piece of educational
splendour where the seekers are not only made to act like passive or docile
learners, but active participants in the two way communication process so that
they could emerge out as complete individuals at the end of the day ready for
making a successful career in the civil services or elsewhere.
The journey that started around 12 years ago was quite humble and the going was certainly tough as Abhimanu Visions embarked upon the highly tortuous path of imparting civil services training to the budding aspirants with just a handful of students such that the returns in monetary terms were not enough to pay off even the monthly rent of the premises that was hired in the then secluded, low market area of sector 24, Chandigarh where it does exist even today to serve as a reminiscent of that humble journey that will soon get near to its destination some day.
Abhimanu Visions today: A complete organization of the like minded people: Today Abhimanu Visions has not only proliferated horizontally, but vertically as well and presents a semblance of an organization that is constituted of the like minded people who believe in the core philosophy of team work, ever willing to place the organization in a new trajectory with constant innovation, team work and concerted efforts. This is no surprise that Abhimanu visions today stands in a class of its own having carved its own niche in the arena of civil services training.
Its organizational structure embraces today a
matrix organization wherein, every individual is considered as an equal partner
to the organizational success rather than being considered a ‘cog in the wheel’
who will be administered under a strictly vertical militarized hierarchy.
In order to achieve coherence in its functionality,
Abhimanu Visions operates under different functional heads, each responsible
for its own core functional areas. While operations chain looks after all the
operational aspects of the organization right from ensuring a strict adherence
to the regular schedule of the classes from the faculty concerned. So does the
administrative chain that caters to the administrative aspects of the organization
as a whole. Similarly, the academics chain looks after the academic aspects of
the organization as such.
The Success
rate: Starting from a humble
beginning of just a handful of students to over 1000 students today, Abhimanu
has produced with élan more than 475 selections in the last 12 years of its
existence with top ranks in UPSC as well as in State civil services. ( rank -1
in HCS/HAS , second rank in UPSC)
The Coaching par-excellence: Abhimanu’s coaching par excellence is confined not only to conventional class room lectures, but entrenched very much in its quality and unmatched study material being prepared, updated and enriched by a team of experts drawn from the areas of their specialization and expertise. Incidentally, the coaching framework at Abhimanu’s has always been standardized in such a way that it has been made to work in consonance with the current callings of the time by keeping a pace with the changing technology and how it can best serve the interests of the students at large. Some of the key highlights and features of the same may be delineated as below:
A system of
organized lectures that are being synchronized strictly to run in coherence
with the three aspects of the study material that is distributed among the
students in the form of work sheets,
work books to be supplemented by the
main study material booklets.
The printed study material besides the above, does
incorporate a host of other printed handouts being passed on to the students at
regular intervals especially those are of current significance and require a
threadbare analysis on any particular issue to let a student know and
comprehend the entire nitty-gritty of the same for building an effective
answer. Some topics of the auxiliary importance from the civil services point
of view are being compiled to broaden the horizon of a student as well as
giving him an edge over his competitors in the battle cardinal of the civil
services and thus, have been christened as AV-edge.
A sound and
fool-proof testing system has been put in place through on-line testing
system being conducted in the form of OMR sheets test evaluation system to let
a student have an exact feel of the UPSC examination system.
Student support
system through online mode has been given a greater emphasis by making an
ample use of the information technology. Through the medium of this online platform,
a student can not only participate in the meaningful discussion forums, but can ask questions on any subject and topic and seek prompt
answers from the faculty concerned.
Online video classes is another hallmark
of Abhimanu coaching and is being promoted in a big way wherein, a student can
watch any video lecture somehow, being missed by him and that too from the comforts of his her home.
Otherwise, the same can be watched here in the Institute any time on demand.
The social media
such as facebook is another platform
offered to all students and even to those budding aspirants who want to share
information and seek tips on the various aspects of the civil services
preparation.
Above all, a seasoned
faculty strength of over 30 people continue to enrich the coaching
excellence at Abhimanu Visions through their unparalled experience and
expertise who have been drawn from their subject areas of specialization after
a thorough screening and pruning system. The faculty system is designed in such
a way so as to provide personal care to the student.
Last but not the least, an Academic team of over 10 people(content development and
standardization) coupled with a strength of over 25 non-teaching staff have all been instrumental in making Abhimanu
Visions what it is today and has long been known for and doubtlessly, so even
in the times to come!
In fulfilling the objective of corporate social
responsibility abhimanus provide scholarships to economically weaker sections
which even goes to 100%. Discounts are given to economically weaker sections.
A well stocked library is maintained at sector 24
centre , where the students can sit and study in peaceful environment.
