Hi ! I wanted to join MAINS test series for 2018 ! My criteria is based on (in sequence of priority )
1) one to one.interaction !
2) personalized / student specific feedback
3) alignment with pattern
4) timely evaluation
5) lastly interaction with EVALUATOR ( NOT like interacting with teacher / student who hasn't evaluated the copy or like faculty unavailable due to workload )
6) Availibilty of faculty / Evaluator
YOU CAN.ALSO PUT IN TEST SERIES WHICH WORKED IN YOUR CASE TO BRING SOME GOOD SPIKES / IMPROVEMENT IN YOUR GS MAINS SCORE
Would be thankful for feedback

I m not being partial and not taking sides n writing without aby bias.
As per your criteria, VisionIAS is a BIG NO, bcz
1. One to one interaction is rare n below par in quality
2. general feedback, no specificity or personalization.
3. Timeliness is worst. U will yv to wait for 20 days at the height of nervousness near mains to c ur evaluated copies.
4. NO interaction with evaluator at all. U will never know who evaluated your answer script.
POSITIVE with VisionIAS
1. Relative performance better reflected
2. The biggest player in the market with proven record but now definitely on declining trajectory
I can't comment abt other test series bcz i dnt have first hand experience. I hv only joined VisionIAS
But i m hearing a lot abt ForumIAS nowadays but don't know abt their quality n other finer details.

A) personalised attention
Why so root ????
When the government do this it's violation of your fundamental right to freedom of expression and what not. But when you do this it is professionalism???
Don't gag people from sharing truth. These coaching monsters are minting millions by false promises to innocent students, then why you want to stop free flow of information ???
