This question is something that somehow comes again and
again in mind of aspirants. Delhi has traditionally been the hub of ias civil
service exams. The story that came in mind about an ias winner a couple of
years back was “Packing bags to delhi, standing like a stork to study for
years, and coming out with ias”. The story doesn’t exist anymore. The trend of
exam, the style of exam etc has shaken the role of delhi as the sole centre for
ias exam coaching.
Still majority of good civil service coaching centres exist
only in metros and certain cities. The so called “study ecosystem” for civil
service largely exists in cities only. By study ecosystem i mean the fellow
aspirants, availability of books and magazines easily, variety of teachers,
sharing of ideas, study groups etc.
The internet has to an extent reduced this problem of
information divide which students of rural area experienced in the past years. Most
of books are now available now via e-commerce sites. Magazines like frontline,
yojana, outlook etc are available free on internet. The quality online
coaching, study materials etc are still scarce. The students rarely share good materials
on internet. The end result is there is large number of leechers while no one
is there to seed. This blog can be counted in the latter side.
