now can i join to coaching class only for mains?
i have already given prelims, waiting for results?

what stopped you till now? but i guess most of the coaching institutes would have gone half way through with the mains coaching. please check up on this with the institute of your choice.

[chanda_s]

if you are keen on going to coaching classes, you can try hyderabad which is not very far or delhi if distace is not a criterion.

[Shalini]

but from blore to hyderabad or blore to delhi is too much distance , it takes lot of hours to travel.
anyway thanks..

[chanda_s]

In Blore i heared JSS is very good. But if you want to go there u have to quit your job as its 9-6 coaching

Hi,
Since class room coachings are costly therefore I would like to know whether correspondence courses (which are not so expensive) are good substitutes?Are photocopied notes of various institutes that can be purchased from book stores dependable?Can you suggest some institutes which offer correspondence course for Geography as an optional for mains.

Chanda sir,
In this thread you seem to be suggesting that coaching is a good or preferable idea .Is it so? PLEASE reply.This 'll be my last attempt in 2008, I have taken a break this year and I am preparing at home.Finance and distance is not a problem but my parents our uncomfortable about staying in Delhi in "private hostels". But if in my circumstances its a preferable thing to do ,then they wont stop me.PLEASE judge my situation purely from exam view-point.
P.S.-I hv not had coaching before and scored 945/total and 943/total in previous mains.
