We are delighted to partner with ECGC to provide students everywhere with a quality training experience that they can take from the safety of their homes.” Abhishek further adds, “Online Learning allows candidates from SC/ST, EWS and other underprivileged communities to access quality coaching services that transcend geographical and socio-cultural barriers. Particularly in these trying post-pandemic times, we are proud to create learning opportunities that help marginalised students have the same chance to ace the exam as anyone else.” ECGC PO process involves an online exam followed by an interview of the candidates shortlisted based on their performance in the exam.
