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.
