Why choose the  the V&R

20-M PCM G.S Programme?

Many aspirants who are engaged in the regular courses at the college or university levels and with other professional engagement find it difficult to spare time from their daily curriculum. Working professionals, particularly those in corporate professions, face a similar challenge in finding adequate time for preparation, notably during the week.   Additionally, aspirants who are unable to travel to Delhi, which is considered a hub for CSE preparation, face an extra challenge on top of their regular commitments.

These aspirants, though they dream of a career in public service, find it immensely difficult to focus on their preparation in a dedicated and disciplined way. As such, the majority of aspirants fail to achieve their dream job.

They are unable to enrol in a daily class based UPSC CSE preparation Programmes because of their prior commitments.

As a result, they either stop preparing, put off their UPSC CSE preparation dreams and attempts until after they graduate from college/university, or quit their jobs to go to Delhi to formally prepare.

Most aspirants encounter the following significant challenges:

• Regular dedicated time slot to study
• Lack a thorough understanding of comprehensive Prelims and Mains CSE Syllabus
• Disjointed and ineffective preparation for Prelims and Mains
• Lack of fundamental knowledge of the essential subjects
• Lack of discipline and commitment along with motivation
