Quotes
Pallavi Khatavkar
Professor of MPSC courses
“An MPSC aspirant is not simply preparing for an examination, he or she is investing years of life into one goal. When an examination is cancelled, postponed or surrounded by allegations of malpractice, the student does not lose only an opportunity. Their entire preparation cycle is disturbed. We see students who have studied for years suddenly lose confidence in the system they were preparing to enter.”

“As teachers, our job has increasingly gone beyond teaching. We counsel students after failures, speak to parents, help them deal with anxiety and sometimes simply listen to them when they are emotionally exhausted. A student can accept failure if they know they were given a fair chance. What becomes extremely difficult to handle is the feeling that the process itself may not have been fair.”
