Dharwad, regarded as cultural capital of Karnataka, is also well known for educational institutions. 18 years ago, the world was not as fast as today. Karnataka, particularly North-Karnataka, had no conducive atmosphere for competitive examinations as there was no awareness. Considering the hurdle, Mr Laxman S Uppar, an engineer by qualification, took the initiative of providing coaching for various competitive examinations. As a result, The Classic KAS & IAS Study Circle was started in February 1997 in Jayanagar of Dharwad.Started with a few aspirants of various services, now the Classic Study Circle is providing coaching for over a thousand candidates on regular basis. There are at least two to three batches, each batch of 100 students, preparing for exams like the IAS/IPS, KAS, PSI, Banking, teachers appointment, FDA, SDA, PDO, PC and others. So far as quality of teaching is concerned, the Classic Study Circle is unique in whole Karnataka as its faculty members are well trained and experienced in different subjects. The focused teaching, based on syllabus and previous questions of respective examinations, has been helping the candidates to gain knowledge required for the competitive examinations in shortest possible time
