It is my intense desire that students should be able to say these things when

they are learning with me: I am ready for whatever the world throws at me- today
or tomorrow.

HOW EPOCHE WILL HELP ?

It will impart a competitive edge by combining both Revisions + Writing practice wonderfully. It is
intended to give you sharpening skills to your preparation and extract maximum output in minimum
possible time.
Such programs becomes more important in the light of fast changing trend of exam. Of late, nature
of questions has substantially changed especially in last two years.
Now questions, though, still simple but they demand high conceptual clarity . Focus is on Why &
How ? " but not on simply What?" e.g.
1. Why Descartes establishes Cogito?

- students simply write what is cogito & just elaborate his method of doubt
2. Why Vaishesika accepts Abhava as category?

- you write what is abhava , its types, etc. Again candidates miss the main demand of
question i.e WHY
3. Spinoza overemphasis on oneness at the cost of manyness" Examine
4.

Does Kant ends in epistemological skepticism?

Enhance your skill with EPOCHE" - a good mix of concept & content.
