Need Guidance on online coaching
Hi everyone,
Need some advice from people preparing for or who have cleared UPPCS.
I’m in my mid-30s, working as a software engineer in Bangalore for the last 14 years. I have a good job, so I don’t mind investing in a good online coaching if it’s actually worth it.
I gave UPSC once in 2022 without being very serious. I had gone through NCERTs (History, Geography, Polity, Economics) along with Laxmikant, Spectrum, and GC Leong. I genuinely enjoyed studying these subjects and my score was decent for a casual attempt.
The biggest thing I realized was that I hate making notes. Because of that, I couldn’t revise properly and my preparation never became consistent. This time I want a structured course with good notes, tests, and mentorship so I can focus on studying instead of figuring out resources. I got this info on reddit -
I’m considering Drishti IAS for UPPCS.
A few questions -
- Is Drishti good for UPPCS, or would you recommend something else?
- Foundation course or just the Prelims course?
- Hindi or English medium? I’m comfortable with both. Does either have an advantage in terms of preparation or scoring?
- Any advice from people who’ve prepared while working full-time?
Thanks!
