Frequently asked questions
Which courses does Chanakya IAS Academy Chandigarh offer?
Coaching for the UPSC Civil Services Examination (which leads to IAS, IPS, IFS and other central services) and for state civil services: PCS (Punjab), HCS (Haryana) and HAS (Himachal Pradesh). Each course is offered as classroom coaching in Chandigarh and as live online classes.
Which is the best UPSC coaching in Chandigarh?
Every institute will claim it. Ask three questions instead: what are the results, who actually takes the classes, and who will be tracking your progress. Ours: teaching since 1993, more than 5,500 selections, and 12 rankers in CSE 2025. Sit in on a free demo class and judge the rest for yourself.
What should I look for when comparing online institutes?
Three things separate an online UPSC coaching institute worth joining from the rest: whether classes are live or only recordings, how often tests are held and evaluated, and whether anyone notices when you fall behind.
I cannot move to Chandigarh. Which is the best online coaching for IAS aspirants like me?
Look for a batch that is not a separate, thinner version of the classroom course. Our online students join the same classes, write the same tests and get the same mentor as students at the centre.
Do you run HCS online classes and PCS batches for the state exams?
Yes, for HPSC, PPSC and HPPSC alike, covering state-specific GS alongside the general syllabus. Students preparing for both UPSC and their state service usually take them together.
How do I choose the best online coaching for a Sociology optional?
Ask to see evaluated answer scripts rather than the syllabus coverage. An optional is won on how you write, so the quality of the feedback matters more than the number of lectures. The same applies to PSIR and Public Administration.
Can I join for a single subject instead of a full course?
Yes. Apart from the foundation course we run individual modules for CSAT, economy and the ethics paper, as well as the optional subjects.
Is the demo class really free?
Yes. Fill in the form and our counsellor will call you to fix a time for a free demo class at the Chandigarh centre or online. There is no charge and no obligation to enrol.
Where is the Chandigarh centre?
Plot No. 8, Ground Floor, Sector 25-D, Punjab Kesari Building, Chandigarh – 160023. You can call 8264199959 or 9056303322 for directions.
Do you offer online classes?
Yes. Live online batches follow the same schedule as classroom batches, so you can prepare from anywhere.
When does the next UPSC batch start?
Batches for the UPSC 2027 target are open now – morning and evening in English, a morning batch in Hindi, and a separate PCS/HCS/HAS batch. Share your details and a counsellor will tell you the exact start date.
What are the fees?
Fees depend on the course and mode (offline or online). Our counsellor will share the complete fee structure and any scholarship options when they call you.
Can I prepare while I am in college or working?
Yes. Weekend batches are designed for college students and working professionals.
How many students has Chanakya IAS Academy helped select?
Over three decades, more than 5,500 students have been selected in IAS, IFS, IPS and other civil services. Our latest results include 12 rankers in CSE 2025, led by Pakshal Secretry at Rank 8.
