Dear Aspirant,

>> I would not like to misguide you here.
>> Being realistic and factually speaking,YES-it is quite a risky decision to prepare through self study for the UPSC Civil Services Mains exams.
>> I do not deny the fact that if you have the callibre and dedication,then you are ought to crack the exams by yourself.
>> However,proper guidance will only increase your chances.

>> As it has been said, "education is a whole large ocean,and we cannot reach our destination if we are not guided with direction of where to swim".
>> The experienced people around do the same for us,and help us to know the direction in which we have to put the effort !
>> Hence,it is never a bad idea having around some people who may help us out,especially when the competition is this very high.
>> I do not specifically ask you to join some coaching class or the other.
But be with experienced people who can guide you through tough times and share their bit too !
>> Your chances to succeed will only enhance further,as there will be positivity built around you.

ALL THE BEST.

Dear friend,

It is not mandatory or risky to attend coaching classes. first of all everybody cannot afford to take coaching.but if you can afford to take coaching and you are a total fresher and if you are going to write this year then you can join some good centres.

you can choose to study on your own provided you are willing to work very very hard and be sincere in your studies.

there are advantages also with coaching like they guide you in a better way,clarify your doubts,suggest good study material etc..

if can opt out provided you have some body to give direction like your friends,family memners,successful candidates etc.

it would be best if you can get correct direction from somebody.

all the best
