I had written about the gimmicks certain institutes (not
all) employ to fool students in my earlier article. Now let me continue on how
you can choose a good coaching institute. A very important thing to keep in
mind is the faculty at the institute. There are certain teachers who know the
in and out of the civil service exams. All of them may not be even located in
metros. The best judge of a teacher is the students who have gone for
classes to him. Ask the students who have attended his classes and you will
know the truth. There are thousands of fooled aspirants. I wonder why no one
writes in web about their failed experiences.
There may be good faculty for certain areas while not for
other. See if the good faculty is teaching subjects you need. In case you need
info on “Indian economy” and the institute has a real bad teacher in that
topic; would it do any good?
There are many institutes which have faculty who are just
hired as engineers are hired in an IT company. The motive of some of these
institutes is just money making .So they employ faculty just to milk out the
money. The aspirant would loose his time as well as money going to such places.
Another set of institutions may employ retired professors with big long degrees
at the end. The problem is that they would be knowledgeable but may not be able
to adapt it to the needs of civil service. So its not big big degree tails at
the end of name that is needed but a person who knows the techniques needed for
civil service exam.
Also keep in mind your study style. The teaching style has
to be in sync with your learning style. There are teachers who like to treat
the aspirants like KG children. They would incessantly take class and be hard.
If you like that style of ‘strict’ teaching then he may be your choice. There
are aspirants who love friendly down to earth easy style of teaching. If you
are such a kind then find such a teacher/institute. It fully depends on you.
There are some students who would like the teacher to be ‘strict’ ‘tough’ and ‘punishing’.
You have to be able to carefully identify the teaching style before you join.
One more thing to keep in mind is regarding study materials Have you seen the proclamation by certain coaching institutions in
ads like these ‘ 100 questions our of 120 questions in general studies was from
our material’. Many times this proclamation is useless for the aspirant. I will
explain why. Some institutions just print loads and loads of material and push
it to students. It wont be practical to learn all this material by any human
being. They do it to make sure that at the end of the period , this
proclamation of great coverage can be made. It is like saying ‘100 of 120 questions
was there in book store!. Here you should select coaching institutions that can
guide a person to the question. See what material is being supplied. There are
certain institutions which will print same notes year after year with no
relevant timely changes being made. Make sure the institute is dynamic and is
in tune with times.
A slew of online coaching websites have been started recently. Most of them neither publish the faculty nor method of teaching.Most of them are just taking away your money and giving you readily available stuff which would be of no use for exam. Send enquirer emails and see their response before joining.

which coaching institute is join for gs hindi medium in delhi
Read it with interest. Coaching is very important. Very few succeed without coaching.with 6 attempts being permitted and competition going astronomically high, coaching is even more improtant. But the right institute is a help. I can help you . I was at vajiram for general Studies and Political science. ma'am for political science is fine. no great issues. But General Studies was a tragic expereince- lack of quality of faculty; indifference of staff. Avoid Vajiram and ravi at any cost. Those who survive by propaganda will perish by propaganda.
