A: No, it is just a myth that coaching is required to crack the exam. Self-study is also enough for the preparation. But the real difference that coaching institutes bring is boosting your preparation with proper mentorship. A good teacher knows how to put your efforts in the right direction and get the maximum result with minimum efforts. Also, the study material provided by the coaching institutes saves the time you’ll usually spend taking notes. When the syllabus that you have to cover is as extensive as the UPSC’s, every minute is precious. So, enrolling in a coaching institute can cut that extra work from your routine and you can solely focus on your ultimate aim.

A: Honestly, there is no difference that you’ll notice. The coaching institutes in Delhi are popular only because of the number of students that relocate to Delhi just for the sake of following the crowd. It is simple math that if the number of students is higher in Delhi then obviously the number of selections will be higher too. For example, if you have, say, 10,000 students applying for 100 posts and 9000 of those students take coaching from a particular place, then obviously the probability of a student getting selected from that institute is high.
Now the point comes that why IAS coaching institutes in Chandigarh are not popular? The biggest issue is the mentality of students. Even though IAS coaching in Chandigarh will provide the same outcome because the faculty here is also experienced and the study material is competent. Also, a big advantage of joining and institute in Chandigarh is that the size of the batch is smaller thus you get a better chance to interact with the teacher directly.
So, the students need to stop following the crowd and take the decisions that are actually beneficial for them.

A: The syllabus of UPSC is so extensive that it covers the concepts of every other exam. If you take a closer look at the syllabus of state-level Civil Services exams and UPSC CSE, you’ll notice how everything is more or less the same. The only significant difference is that the PCS exams focus more on the topics related to a particular state. For example, the questions in the exam for Punjab Public Civil Sevices will feature more questions based on the history, geography, politics, economy, etc. of Punjab. So, you’ll have to give more attention to attain the knowledge of the state you want to apply for. But a look at the broader picture will give you an idea that preparation for UPSC CSE covers every aspect of these exams too.
