How it works
- Scheduling
- Your first session is scheduled by your mentor within 24 hours of your profile, in a window you chose. After that, the weekly slot is fixed between you and your mentor.
- Rescheduling
- Reply to the session email at least 6 hours before. A session you miss without notice isn't carried over; one you reschedule in time is. A First Ascent slot can be rescheduled in the same way.
- Refunds
- Momentum, Ascent and Summit: a full refund within 7 days of purchase, no reason needed тАФ just ask. First Ascent is non-refundable; instead, its тВ╣999 counts towards Momentum, Ascent or Summit if you buy within 30 days of the session (and at least 14 days after your third answer is evaluated).
- Renewals
- Momentum is one month per payment and does not renew by itself. A few days before the month ends we send a reminder; renew only if you choose to. Ascent and Summit are one payment and nothing renews.
- Summit validity
- Summit is valid for 18 months from purchase or until the next UPSC Civil Services Mains (Mains 2027 begins 20 August 2027), whichever is later. In that period you get the weekly one-to-one and weekly evaluation of all the assigned Mains questions. After it, support continues free of cost until you clear the exam, but on request: you reach out to your mentor and help is given as per their availability. There is no weekly one-to-one then, and no guaranteed availability when a doubt arises.
- Payment
- Secure checkout by Razorpay тАФ UPI, cards, netbanking, wallets, and card EMI where your bank offers it. We send the receipt by email; card details never reach this site.
- Privacy
- Your profile, logs and answers are seen only by your mentor. Nothing is shared or published without your written consent.
