Who is Prince Luthra?
Prince Luthra is a UPSC Civil Services Examination (CSE) qualifier who secured All India Rank 577 in one of the world’s toughest competitive examinations. A passionate educator and mentor, Prince founded NetMock with a singular mission: to make quality UPSC coaching accessible and affordable for every aspirant across India.
With firsthand experience of the challenges, sacrifices, and strategies required to crack the UPSC CSE, Prince brings a unique perspective to UPSC preparation that no textbook or traditional coaching can offer. His teaching philosophy centers on conceptual clarity, strategic preparation, and consistent practice — the same approach that helped him achieve his remarkable rank.
The UPSC Journey
Prince Luthra’s UPSC journey is a story of determination, smart work, and resilience. Like thousands of aspirants, he faced the daunting challenge of preparing for an examination that tests knowledge across dozens of subjects — from Indian History and Geography to Economics, Polity, Science, Ethics, and Current Affairs.
What set Prince apart was his methodical approach to preparation. Rather than relying solely on expensive coaching institutes, he developed his own study strategies, focusing on NCERT foundations, newspaper analysis, answer writing practice, and strategic revision. This approach ultimately led him to secure AIR 577 in the UPSC Civil Services Examination.
His journey through all three stages of the UPSC CSE — Prelims, Mains, and the Personality Test (Interview) — gave him deep insights into what works and what doesn’t in UPSC preparation. These insights now form the backbone of NetMock’s course design and teaching methodology.
Why Prince Started NetMock
After clearing the UPSC CSE, Prince noticed a critical gap in the UPSC preparation ecosystem. While there were plenty of expensive coaching institutes charging ₹1,00,000 or more, there was a severe lack of affordable, high-quality online preparation platforms that could serve aspirants from smaller cities, towns, and economically weaker backgrounds.
Prince founded NetMock with the belief that:
Quality education should not be a privilege of the wealthy. Every deserving aspirant, regardless of their financial background or geographical location, should have access to the same quality of preparation that toppers receive.
This is why NetMock courses start at just ₹199 — a fraction of what traditional coaching institutes charge — while maintaining the same (or higher) standard of content, mentorship, and exam-oriented preparation.
Prince Luthra’s Teaching Methodology
Prince’s teaching approach is built on years of personal experience and understanding of what the UPSC actually tests. His methodology includes:
Concept-First Approach: Every topic is taught starting from NCERT-level basics, building up to the advanced understanding required for Mains answers. This ensures even first-time aspirants can follow along comfortably.
Exam-Oriented Content: Having appeared for and cleared the UPSC CSE himself, Prince knows exactly what UPSC asks and how. All content is designed to be directly useful in the examination hall.
Real Exam Strategies: Beyond subject knowledge, Prince teaches the strategic aspects of UPSC preparation — time management, answer structuring, revision techniques, and how to handle exam-day pressure.
Current Affairs Integration: Prince ensures that current affairs are not taught in isolation but are integrated with static syllabus topics, just as UPSC tests them in the actual examination.
Personalized Feedback: Through NetMock’s Answer Writing Evaluation course, Prince and his team provide detailed, personalized feedback on students’ answer writing skills — the most critical skill for UPSC Mains.
