Swetank Pandey is a trusted name in the world of Political Science and History education in India, known for transforming how complex ideas are understood, written, and applied—especially by aspirants preparing for India’s toughest examinations.
As the author of Modern Indian History (Oswaal Books) and the widely anticipated PSIR PYQs Redefined (Arihant Publications), his books are celebrated for striking a rare balance between academic precision and student-friendly structure. His work continues to shape classrooms, test series, and public discourse across the country.
Swetank has mentored thousands of learners through institutions such as Unacademy, ALS IAS, and several others. He has also contributed to student enrichment programmes at Jamia Millia Islamia and similar academic spaces, where his ability to connect classical political thought with present-day challenges leaves a lasting impact.
His teaching is not just about lectures—it’s about building frameworks of thinking. Whether it is the evolution of constitutional ideas, the ethics of power, or the shifting logic of global politics, his classroom is where the past meets the present—and prepares you for the future.
Today, Swetank is also pioneering new pathways at the intersection of Humanities and Artificial Intelligence, working alongside leading think tanks to develop AI-driven tools for syllabus design, policy simulation, and personalised learning models in the social sciences. His work is helping redefine what it means to study politics in the age of algorithms—where old questions meet new tools.
