The need to prepare for UPSC exams is an overwhelming one, requiring what may seem like a lifetime of commitment, planning, and consistency. This can be a daunting task for college students and working professionals who have to manage UPSC preparation as well as other commitments. The weekend courses at Rau’s IAS Study Circle are flexible yet comprehensive options.

Weekend Course

Rau’s IAS runs weekend courses, especially for aspirants from different walks of life, including college students and working professionals. Typically, these courses are conducted only on Saturdays and Sundays. On Saturday, the class runs for 4-5 hours. However, on Sundays, the duration goes up to 9 hours. This routine enables candidates to strike a balance between UPSC preparation and academic or job responsibilities without overburdening themselves. The flexibility in scheduling weekend classes allows aspirants to continue with their already existing engagements even when they are preparing hard so as to crack one of India’s most difficult tests.

Success Stories: Tina Dabi, Among Others

The success rate of weekend course students is notable through the achievements of people such as Tina Dabi, Vikram Grewal, Srishti Dabas, Abhinav Siwach, Abhimanyu Malik, Benjo P Jose, and Pooja Jha, who emerged outstanding in their class exams as products of Rau’s IAS weekend batch.

Weekend courses at Rau’s IAS are planned and strategic with regard to UPSC preparation. The weekend courses offer a step-by-step approach to the UPSC syllabus, ensuring that aspirants are well prepared for every stage of the exam, from prelims to interviews. Moreover, experienced faculty members provide insights into subjects and help aspirants write better answers.

Also, weekend batches have Pre and Mains Mock tests, which enable students to know their strengths and weaknesses. This helps in tracking their progress, thereby enabling timely adjustments to study plans where necessary. In addition, weekend batches create an ambiance of competition among candidates that keeps them motivated and helps them bond with each other as they prepare together.

Weekend courses offer an excellent opportunity for college students to begin preparing early for UPSC. They can start from their final years in colleges, dedicating weekends to study with intensity. This enables them to establish a strong footing and then progressively increase the tempo of preparation as they come closer to completing their undergraduate studies. At this point, they are fully ready and confident enough when it comes to sitting for the exam.

Backup Plan for Working Professionals

Given the long and uncertain nature of the exam cycle, professionals usually consider the IAS training path a high-risk venture. However, employment is an escape door that allows them to follow through with their UPSC dream without worrying about total failure. Professionals benefit from weekend classes as they enable them to manage both their job and studying at once.

Rau’s IAS weekend classes provide a practical solution for UPSC candidates who have various duties to take care of. Therefore, these courses are best suited to university students and employees due to their flexible timetable, professional support, and holistic syllabus. Hence, it is possible for one to have time for other things while still being successful in the examination, as evident from stories concerning past learners who were top performers. Weekend courses at Rau’s IAS are a tried-and-tested alternative for those aspirants desiring a well-rounded and effective approach to their preparation.
