UGC NET Coaching In Lucknow - Athena Coaching Academy

                      UGC NET COACHING BY ATHENA COACHING ACADEMY

The UGC NET, being organized twice a year by the National Testing Agency in  online mode, is a career defining exam which must be cleared by any one aspiring to take up teaching in Institutions of Higher Learning in India as a career. The exam is held in more than 80 subjects. As per the extant rules, any aspirant has to score sufficiently high marks to be within the top 6% in his respective subject among all the aspirants for that subject, duly taking into account the common general paper 1 also.

In subjects like Commerce, nearly 1.5 lakh aspirants appear for UGC NET. In other social sciences like Economics, Political Science, Sociology, Psychology, Management etc the number would be around 60,000 or so. Therefore, by any standards, it is a tough exam to crack.

A large number of UGC NET aspirants from Uttar Pradesh, especially those from the smaller towns, are not able to get the kind of academic exposure that students in large metropolitan cities get. The only way to overcome this disadvantage is to opt for personally customized coaching which is built around the specific and unique needs of each aspirant. That is why Athena Coaching Academy provides 1:1 coaching for a very large number of subjects.

Apart from this, in most of the post graduate institutions, the syllabus follows a very narrow and linear trajectory, whereas the high standard set up by NTA UGC NET demands understanding of related fields as well. For example, an aspirant for UGC NET in Economics would have to understand the nuances of political economy, social compact and the psychology of mass consumption  to fully comprehend the economic theories. At Athena Coaching Academy, a holistic approach is adopted to give each aspirant an overview of her subject on the widest canvas possible.

Athena Coaching Academy provides the largest number of classes per week for the compulsory common paper 1 among all the coaching centres in Uttar Pradesh. This, combined with the personal attention given for the subject in paper 2, makes Athena Coaching Academy the best coaching centre for UGC NET in Lucknow as well as in entire Uttar Pradesh.

The fees structure for coaching for UGC NET at Athena Coaching Academy is linked to the duration of coaching. The standard coaching period is 5 months. Athena Coaching Academy welcomes aspirants for UGC NET 2020.

PCS J Coaching In Lucknow - Athena Coaching

The PCS J exam conducted  by the UP Public Service Commission as per the directions of the Hon’ble High Court of Allahabad is the career defining exam for all those aspirants who seek to join the highly respected and coveted judicial service in the state.  Generally the exam is conducted annually. It is a three stage exam consisting of the Prelims, the Mains (both with clearly defined syllabus of their own) and the Interview. The general category aspirants get maximum 4 attempts only.  Therefore, the aspirants are very careful in making thorough preparations once they make up their minds for appearing for this exam.

 A large number of aspirants for PCS J face the problem that in many of the educational institutions offering the LLB course, classes are not held regularly.

Since the exams conducted by the state universities concerned to which these institutions are affiliated reportedly do not follow very rigorous standards in their semester exams, a wide gap comes to exist between what an average aspirant for PCS J would know, and the domain knowledge of all aspects of law and jurisprudence that the examination authority for PCS J expect him to possess.

Athena Coaching Academy bridges this gap effectively through bilingual coaching programs which cover both professional papers as well as the general paper for testing the awareness levels of the aspirants.

Athena Coaching Academy starts its coaching classes for PCS J after UP Public Service Commission formally declares its annual academic calendar which mentions the likely dates for holding the Prelims and Mains exams for PCS J.

The normal duration of coaching for Prelims – involving study of ten subjects of law, as also for the paper on general awareness --- would be about 4-6 months, with up to three classes being held 5 days a week and including a weekly test. These classes are held in the afternoon for the convenience of a large number of students who like to prepare for this exam even before they have obtained their law degree.

In the PCS J exam 2018 for which results were announced in July 2019, as many as 48,000 + aspirants appeared for the Prelims and less than 5000 could actually clear the Prelims. This is the clearest possible indication of how tough this exam is. Athena Coaching Academy welcomes aspirants of serious intent and resolve to join this purposeful and best PCS J coaching in Lucknow as well as in Uttar Pradesh. 

Looking For IAS Coaching in Lucknow - Athena Coaching Academy

Athena Coaching Academy provides individually customized coaching for the UPSC Civil Services Exams known generally as the IAS exams.

The Group ‘A’ civil services in India are divided into two broad segments:

(a)   The All India Services --- IAS, IPS & IFoS

(b)  The Central Services ---- IFS, IRS and about 15 other services

The examination system as it stands today has a three tier structure consisting of Prelims (which are held in mid-summer), Mains and the Interview. The notification for the exam is generally issued in February and the results are declared by April the next year. Therefore, the examination process is itself about 14 months long.

It is our experience that an aspirant who is well up in English, has a good academic record and has a high level of awareness of the contemporary events would still need about 6-8 month of sustained class room study to come up to the level wherein she could clear the Prelims in the first attempt itself. The Civil Service Prelims test the spread and range of the knowledge levels of the aspirants extending from Anthropology, Archaeology, Ancient Indian History, Geography etc. on one side to developments in Medicine, Technology, Space Sciences etc on the other. Understanding of constitutional systems and political processes in India and elsewhere is a basic necessity.

About ten lakh aspirants register annually for this exam. However, the drop out level is quite high and, therefore, about 6-7 lakh aspirants appear for the Prelims. As per a long standing selection mechanism, the number of aspirants to be allowed to clear the Prelims is 14 times the number of actual service wise vacancies advertised for that year. For example, if the number of vacancies in All India Services and other Group ‘A’ services put together is, say, 800, then the number of aspirants clearing the Prelims would be about 11,200 only.

Dear Aspirant, if you are competing with 7 lakh others to be in the top 11,000 to clear Prelims then online classes or studying in large batches run on industrial scale will not help you. Athena Coaching Academy provides coaching which is customized to meet your unique specific needs. Welcome.
