About Us

At Sleepy Classes, our endeavour is to make sure that no one shall be denied a chance to get quality coaching because of financial constraints. We started our Youtube channel with this idea and are continuing to provide cost effective solutions for high quality UPSC preparation. Through our website and app, we have helped more than 1,000,000 students to get access to affordable UPSC preparation and make their IAS dreams come true.

The UPSC examination is one of the toughest examinations in the country owing to its low conversion rate and the sheer vastness of syllabus. Keeping this in mind, we have created high-quality content which caters to most portions of the syllabus- from all subjects within General Studies for both Prelims and Mains, to Sociology and Political Science optionals and dedicated Answer writing. 

We believe that regular preparation with proper guidance is the key to cracking UPSC. This is why we have daily scheduled classes and a Telegram group for personal mentoring.

Our Platforms

With our aim to be accessible to everyone preparing for UPSC, we are available on our website, app as well as on our Youtube channel. 

UPSC aspirants can access high quality preparation & practice material, interact with our expert faculty and test their preparation by viewing our Free Youtube content, subscribing to courses and Test Series.

Shekhar Dutt – Coming from an engineering background, Shekhar Dutt became a keen learner of the subject, and there started his attempt to self-teach himself this body of knowledge called Sociology. In turn, he proceeded through various texts and works on the subject, attempting to simplify concepts and ideas for himself. This, successively, is now helping his students learn the subject fluidly and vividly, using everyday affairs as examples.

He’s happy to be a part of the successful journey of various UPSC aspirants who have gone on to secure Top Ranks like AIR 2, AIR 5, AIR 13, and have been Top scorers of the subject across the years. In his classes, you will often hear him say “Engineering taught me how a (housing) society is built, Sociology is now teaching me how a society is formed”.

Shraddha Ganjoo – I have seen that students often find Geography vast, its concepts difficult and its application unthinkable. While my Engineering background gave me a sense of process to accomplish enormous looking tasks with competence, it was only during my experiment with Law that I realised the essence of diversity.   From the very first class, I attempt to reveal to them a sense of process and curiosity of breaking down complex looking phenomena and concepts into easy to understand ideas. Such ideas, when communicated with simplicity to students, become highly reproducible and rank-oriented content in the exam.
Based on my experiments with Geography over the years, I have witnessed significant improvement in student’s learning outcomes, engagement in the subject of Geography and a markedly higher attempt and accuracy in UPSC CSE.  I’m your geography teacher, I will never let my students get lost, together we’ll move the mountains.

Arvind Guleria(Economy) – Dr. Manmohan Singh once remarked that “countries are no longer countries, in the modern world, they are Economies”, emphasizing the importance of economic growth of a Nation to enhance its influence globally.The same way, Economy is not just a subject but a pivot in your UPSC CSE preparation, enabling you to do well at all its stages.

Arvind sir believes, to score well in Economy you need 3 cards in your stack. We can call them CTC:
– Concept Clarity and its application
– Trends analysis
– Current Affairs

And it’s with this same approach that he delivers his Economy Lectures. His engaging lectures have helped students understand the toughest concepts with ease. In addition to that, it is the well researched content from various fundamental sources that make it easy to analyse trends and current affairs through his classes. So, let’s begin this journey of making Economy one of your favourite subjects by ensuring LOW CTC (Cost to Compete) and having maximum CTC (Command to Conquer UPSC).
