    Default Clarifications on Coaching Centers - Please Help

    Hi,

    I am Kanimozhi from Chennai. I'm quite new to Civil Services & its preparations. I'm planning to take the prelims next year. I am not sure of where and how to start. Can you please help me out in answering the following questions so that it will help me in identifying a direction to proceed:

    1. First of all, the coaching institutes. I ve heard that the Delhi institue is one of the best in the country. Does anyone know of how much it would cost for me there based on duration of stay with accomodation and the other fees etc.?

    2. Is that worth travelling to Delhi for preparing Civil Services? or do i have good coaching centers with experienced masters in Chennai itself? And what would be the cost in Chennai going to be?

    3. I currently have selected Sociology for my prelims and i'm not sure about my second subject for my mains. please suggest any subjects that would comparitively be easy than others.

    Awaiting your replies on these. Thanks and have a nice day.

    Regards,
    Kani.

    Hi Kanimozhi,

    Welcome to Indian Officer

    It's a myth that the joining the Coaching centres is necessary to clear the civil services exam. It may give you an extra edge but in this Information age almost all the necessary details are available every where.So, If you are affordable to move towards Delhi you can go there otherwise you can prepare from here itself.

    For rest of your questions surf this forum and you'll get a lot of info.

    once you know how to prepare then you can prepare it by urself,
    the faculties @ Delhi can't teach you anything beyond what is given in any book or internet.

    cost can be around 40,000/- per subject (depends on how big name of the coaching class is) and calculating the hostel, food etc - it can be quite huge.
    i've never gone to delhi, i only know what people told me.

    3. I currently have selected Sociology for my prelims and i'm not sure about my second subject for my mains. please suggest any subjects that would comparitively be easy than others.
    you can use Public Administration with sociology.
    for more info. on it refer this->

    If you see most of the people who get through tuitions,they state that tuitons gave them the right direction to prepare, none of them say that they faculty provided them some special information, or the institute provided them with the paper itsself

    You can spend close to a lakh and go to delhi, or you can get free guidance at IO and prepare on your own (which in my opinion is a better option)

    I would like to reiterate that this is my opinion, there are many people who swear by tuitions in delhi, just do what suits you best
