What about the online registration on 16 june? I have heard that it used to be completely filled in just 40-50 minutes. And even server used to get busy at that time.
Don't fall in the trap. Never ever join Vajiram. You'll get lost in the crowd of 400 students in the class. At the end of the day you have to study from their material only. Classes are for mental satisfaction only that we are doing coaching and we'll crack UPSC. But you won't get anything in the class. Save your 1.7 lacs. Don't join Vajiram.
Exactly. Cost of living in that area is damn too high. It will squeeze down your wallet and you will keep wondering where did all the money go. Save your parent's hard earned money by not falling in the trap of these money-squeezing-companies. Get their material, read standard books many time and beat the UPSC.
All those who give gyan about not joining any coaching, genuinely answer how many people succeed without coaching? Ira bashed coaching, gaurav did too. But at some point they all had taken guidance. One time guidance is must. I attended m. Puri classes and realized how much it helps when an experienced person teaches. Everyone studies same notes. Right but your idea and understanding will change. Don't believe ? Check vajiram notice board after results. People attend classes, get helped and then start teaching family finance and how easy it is from self study. Self study is solution. Coaching and classes are the things which will streamline prep.
Pros: you will ultimately take less time to finish syllabus if you are a newbie. Syllabus is a Sea. You will read vague things at home.
Guidance and may be access to queries.
Nuances of understanding if faculty is good.
Environment of competition which you are never gonna realize easily otherwise.
You will be able to follow a schedule and prepare in time bound manner.
Cons: money- see your financial prospects. I know many people who sold land and prepared. Not asking anyone to do so anyway
Time for self prep will be less- take afternoon classes. It's the most lazy hours. Don't eat just before class and you will never waste your afternoon.
It's up to you whether you take module wise or full coaching. Full coaching at vaji or sriram is most preferred. Module wise : economics, geography you can rely better on mrunal. Polity I will suggest m Puri. Though he is biased a bit against present govt so better to keep it mind to avoid having negative opinion in answers. Ethics I guess there is no one perfect. Listen to audios of ethics from shashidthakur blog. Buy coaching notes for supplementing whenever required.
Friends you are free to ignore this comment. I said what I felt after my experience. Baki koi gaon me rah ke ias ban jata h aur koi delhi me 10 saal se baitha h. Nothing more powerful than your own mettle. But I believe coaching very much helps in first time preparation. I will myself join psychology optional classes by pathak sir in July.
