Have taken mains test series from your institute.Extremely pricy + generic review of copies does not add value to the candidate. To meet the mentor, get one on one feedbackextremely bureaucratic system. Coaching institute ko college jitnabureaucratic bana diya h.
Very expensive courses. And can never reach senior faculty including you. It seems the focus is only on rank improvement candidates/afsaro ke bacche.
Please climb down from your kaanch ke mahal and test the reality.
SFG residential review bhi liya h first hand. No time given to students for self study. Most of them were depressed ki sfg ke liye padhai ki, but prelims ka kuch prep nahi kar paye.
The problem with coaching institutes is no understanding of reality. No empathy for stuents.No accountability. Was there any attempt by any coaching/teacher to understand the probelms faced by students before this incident?
Does anyinstitute have a mental health expert? Even after being plush with money, no one bothered to have one.
Sirf technicalities pe baat karte raho. Prelims mein yeh kami reh gayo hogi, mains mein tumne mehnat nahi kari, interview mein personality flaw h.
Has anyone bothered to reflect in what conditions a student is surviving?
UPSC being a tough exam, if a candidate fails they end up blaming themselves, but not the institute.
If you really want to reflect, do some soul searching, you will get the answers. Yaha pe opinions leke bhi kya hi hona h.
Something has to change fundamentally.
Solution -
1. Support the students to get a ceiling on course fees, rents.
2. It takes minimum 2-3 years to clear upsc realistically. 30-40k per month for survival+ coaching fees + illness/unexpected expenses a financially avg family kid cannot afford.
3. Start a student feedback session also.
4. Promote offline centres in other cities and provide equal quality.
5. All coaching institute owners must sit together and reflect why the current mess has occured and find solutions
6. Stop glamorising UPSC toppers. They have paid equal fees as somebody who did not get selected.
7. Launch less courses and provide quality.
Anyways.
All the best to you.
