Making UPSC Exam Easier, One Question At A Time


Rome was not built in a day and, neither does the preparation of UPSC exam under an hour. The UPSC journey is one of determination, passion, perseverance and discipline. When practised together, these can determine the concluding result of what would lead to a truly path-altering career. Standing in 2019, one can see a sudden influx of civil servant aspirants, from different wakes of the country. The boy-next-door from a humanities background and the girl from your brother's class, want to become an IAS, IFS or IPS. Amidst such fierce competition, how can one come out at the top?


Mission UPSC Exam

The UPSC exam is not only the most prestigious but also one of the hardest nuts to crack. As discussed, it takes the honing of a combination of factors along with a secret ingredient for a fruitful outcome. While every year a large number of people sit for the exam, only a few make it past the finishing line and those who do, swear by good guidance. The key, according to most toppers is to find the right mentor that would nurture your skills and prepare you for the big exam. Thankfully, for those in Delhi, the options are galore. Delhi, the capital, is beaming with institutions that take pride in their tailor-made courses to guide you to crack the UPSC exam with utmost grace.

Factors To Consider Before Choosing Your Institution

Hard work with smart tactics wins all the way. While there can be a variety of factors that can determine the right institution for you, we have jotted down the ones that can help you make the task at hand easy. 

  • Accessibility - Finding a coaching centre that is near you is the best option. In a city like Delhi, it is not very difficult to find one that is located at a convenient distance from your house. This way, you get to save the energy, money and time that can be utilised elsewhere, like late night preparations.
  • Success rate - With numerous centres cropping up at almost every lane, it can be difficult to spot the right one. Talk to your friends, relatives or acquaintances to get a better idea while letting Google do its thing for you. The symbol of a good institution is consistency over the years. If an institution has maintained the similar success rate of students, it is the one to look out for.
  • Eye to detail - It is imperative that the UPSC exams are difficult! Those who win the game are often those with a keen eye for the tiniest details. This portion calls for research and you have to be thorough. The first step is to check out the study material and structure to check if they have updated as per the latest rules. An institution that sits in the past will not be able to churn out future administrators. Secondly, it is important to check the credentials of the institution and each of its teachers. Ask around, do some research and find out how the institution has performed till now, the mastery of its teachers and their USP. It is also important to note that while a certain centre may have the best teacher for one subject, it follows suit with the rest. Equal focus is demanded of each subject!
  • Cost - Cost can play a determining role in making your decision. While most of the big brands come with escalated prices, it is important to find the one that aligns with your financial capacity. You can always compare the prices charged by the different institutions before taking the final leap.
