mansiprofessional234 Student Expert 8th Jul, 2019

Hey aaradhana!

To become an IAS , all you need is hardwork and smart study. If  you have any financial issues , then this can not stop you from becoming an IAS. Many poor students qualify IAS eveery year and get good ranks as well. 

So , you can do self study for IAS .You can also clear IAS without joining a coaching.

abhinav singh 7th Jul, 2019

If you are considering a long term preparation, then I advise you to go through NCERT books of all sorts from Class 9th onwards. Social Science, History, Geography, Political Science, Economics, General Science, Mathematics and English. You should read these books at least once. If you want a quick preparation, then go for only Economics and Political Science NCERT. Best of Luck.

Does paramount coaching of kota prepare students for IAS exam?

Ram Tiwari1 Student Expert 5th Jul, 2019

Never join SSC coaching for UPSC preparation. They don't have regular faculties , infrastructure,study material,good test series. 

If you wish you can join the coaching but on your own risk. Also the best coachings for IAS preparation are in Delhi, so if you can then try to get coaching in Delhi.
