9What are the pros and cons of online IAS preparation?
The Trend of Online coaching for UPSC exam preparation has gained a lot of popularity in recent years. Lot of online platforms mushroomed throughout India providing wide variety of services. This trend is also being witnessed with the IAS coaching centres in Chandigarh. Many Academies are providing digital learning to cater to a wider range of students who for one reason or other cannot enrol themselves in regular classroom courses. We’ve listed some of the advantages and disadvantages of online IAS coaching:
PROS:
  • Affordability: Online Classes because of its mass catering nature and lesser brick and mortar expenditures are generally priced less and are therefore more pocket friendly to a student. Student only requires a good laptop or phone with stable internet connection to avail the classes which can be done within the comfort of home environment. No boarding, lodging expenses.
  • Accessibility: Online classes can be accessed from almost anywhere. All that is required is a stable internet connection. If you are taking pre-recorded classes, you can download them from the place where internet is available and watch them anywhere esp. areas which lack internet facility.
  • Availability: With a lot of institutes offering classes online, you can get the classes which suits your need. You can enrol separate modules from different academies or can go for a single academy as per your wishes. You can easily get demo class and that too almost anywhere and everywhere in India.

CONS:
  • Quality of content: Content quality is very doubtful in online classes. You don’t know whether the content offered will be delivered or not. Many frauds have surfaced with the advent of online learning with students complaining bogus academies offering them high quality content and siphoning off after fee payments. Also there are complaints of poor content and lectures after enrolment.
  • Effectiveness: Effectiveness is one of the biggest issues which confront online classes. Physical classes provide proximity to teacher and other students. Classroom environment causes attention to waver less and therefore more effective learning and focus. This is lacking when you are in your home environment or any other place. Moreover, following online classes and remaining dedicated towards syllabus completion requires more effort and energy from student.
  • One-way communication: Online classes mostly are a one-way traffic platform. Only teacher is conveying information and there is lack of connect between student and teacher. Teacher is not sure whether student got the information he is conveying. Similarly, student’s doubts are many a times not taken well into consideration by teachers. This is true especially for large no of students attending the class
  • Lack of consistency: Mobile phones or laptops are multi-tasking machines. You have social media access in the same platform. Hence diversion of mind. If the lecture is boring, you have other tab ready for Facebook or twitter. Lack of consistency in attending classes and giving full concentration on them is a big issue confronting online classes. Again the student need to be highly dedicated and focussed to not fall for the “other tab” trap.
  • Poor internet penetration: Still in our country there are many areas where internet connection is either not available or not stable enough to provide good bandwidth for online classes. Result is that learning is compromised and with time student wears away from the classes and his goal of cracking the exam. A good hardware and Stable internet connection is a must for online class which unfortunately is available to a very few candidates.
Despite cons of online learning, it is a boon as it can provide effective, affordable and quality classes in just a single click. For students, professionals, home makers etc., who have other commitments, they can avail these classes and take a crack at civil service exam. The best mentors can be on your phones teaching you on the subjects they master. It is revolutionary and can provide a win-win situation for all.
