Preparing alone in another city is the hardest way to do this. A weekly call, a plan that fits your months, and doubt support that answers the same day.

If you can explain a theory to someone outside the subject, you can write it in the exam.Sanket Jain
The person behind it
Taught by one person, start to finish
Psyche Simplified began as a Telegram group for aspirants who could not find a Psychology test series anywhere. It is now a full programme — foundation classes, evaluated answer writing, and one-to-one mentorship — but the structure has not changed. Sanket Jain still teaches every session and marks every script himself.
The subject rewards precision more than volume. Most aspirants lose marks not because they do not know the theory, but because the answer does not name the researcher, does not draw the diagram, and does not connect Paper 1 to a Paper 2 application. That is what the teaching fixes.
- Complete Paper 1 and Paper 2 coverage with Indian research and case examples
- Personal evaluation with a discussion call after every test
- Notes updated through the year as new studies appear in the news

Notes that stay current
New studies and news that fit the syllabus are added through the year and shared with the batch.
Plans built around your months

In their words
What students say afterwards
“
The mentorship gave my preparation a spine. Weekly calls meant I could not drift, and the reading material was always one step ahead of what I needed.
Anushtha Kalia291 marks · Psychology“
I had no psychology background. The foundation classes started from zero and still reached the depth the Mains paper expects.
Prachiti DeshmukhCSE Aspirant · Pune“
What changed my score was the feedback. Every script came back marked line by line, with the research I had missed added in the margin.

Before you enrol
If your question is not here, call +91 79873 91094 and ask directly. Someone from the teaching team answers, not a call centre.
Yes. Most of our students come from engineering, commerce and humanities. The Foundation course assumes no prior exposure and builds Paper 1 concepts before moving to applied Paper 2.
Both. Live sessions are scheduled in the evening so working aspirants can attend, and every session is recorded and available for the full validity of the course.
Sanket Sir evaluates personally. You get line-by-line remarks, a model answer, the research or thinker you should have cited, and a call to discuss what to change in the next paper.
Yes. Applied psychology is where most aspirants lose marks. We cover organisational, community, health and educational applications with Indian examples and recent studies.
Tell us your timeline on the counselling call. We regularly build compressed plans for aspirants joining with three or four months left, prioritising high-yield chapters and answer writing.
Classroom batches run in Delhi and the same batch streams online. You can switch between the two modes during the course at no extra cost.
