Rohit Kumar
Founder, Defence Pathshala
After securing All India Rank 163 in UPSC CAPF AC and serving as a BSF Assistant Commandant after graduating from IIT Kanpur, Rohit combines operational experience with exam-first thinking. He didn't stop at understanding what works—he analyzed hundreds of previous year questions, identified recurring exam patterns, and built Defence Pathshala himself using AI, data analytics, and automation to turn that intelligence into a practical learning platform.
“UPSC Defence exams don't test memory; they test composure, foundational clarity, and disciplined elimination under time pressure. Defence Pathshala was built to give every aspirant that exact edge.”
