Divine institute is one such fine institute for judiciary which helps students with individual attention as the strength of each batch is less due to which we get teacher's individual attention at best. And the senior faculty in weekend batches also helped student a lot to go through the syllabus very deeply and to increase one's understanding towards the particular subject. Nd yes its one such institute which helped me a lot through the concepts. The technical subjects like sra nd tpa are taken by very experienced teachers so one can understand the theory and the bare act language. Dr. Kanupriya mam , Rohit sir , mukesh sir , gurpal, grewal sir, pradeep sir are the best faculty of our institute.
