Seniors and Vetrens please help me out i have recently started prep for cse and thinking to take sarthi ias foundation course I will be attempting 2027 cse but my main target is 2028 as i am enrolled in masters and i doubt i would be prepared for 27 mains so i have doubt regarding -

1. Weather to go for sarthi ias foundation course or not as i have seen on reddit people critising sarthi foundation many people aslo suggested to not go for foundation course instead take particular subject classes or go with tele courses so I thought to take sarthi instead for going with tradational and expensive foundation classes and to other classes for mains/specialised subject and to order vision ias or vajiram notes
2. I also have doubt regarding to opt for sarthi 2027 foundation or 2028 foundation course (i am thinking to opt for 27 foundation course as syllabus will be completed fast and later i can have time for self study and going deep with mains )
3. I also have doubt regarding which foundation batch should i take as there is literally BATCH - 6,7,8 and one more comming ig and batch 6,7 have same teachers and 8 has different and i am also thinking to opt for the group mentorship one not the 1:1 mentorship one as i have read that they really dont give 1:1 mentorship and its a money waste
4. If anyone has any other coaching suggestion within the range of sarthi please do suggest as i will be saving money in foundation course and will utilise it for mains specific prep
5. Between sarthi ias - Unacadmy - pw ias or any other which would be optimal choice?

PLEASE HELP ME WITH REGARDING THIS DOUBTS !
