“The PETC was renamed from IAS Coaching Centre, GU in 1986. Despite its encouraging outcome between the 80s and 90s, the centre was not functioning for quite some time. It was only last year that we started inviting professional coaches for the civil services examinations.”
Karishma Das, one of the candidates of the last batch, who is also a final year student of the law department at the university, cleared the UPSC mains and is awaiting the result of the personality test.
An IIT start-up called Energy Solution was invited by the centre under GU to coach the 2017 batch.
