Patna Vs Delhi

Fusion

Hello Folks !!!

I am literally very confused between Patna and Delhi in overall upsc environment. I have done my coaching at vajiram and Ravi now I just have to lock myself in room and do self study. I have never been to Patna for upsc preparation . So if anyone is preparing from there or prepared from there please suggest overall environment like test series offline centres, optional test series study materials and all.
As far as rent is considered I feel both are at par Patna is also costly in terms of rent as like Delhi ...what about upsc wala mahool I have to appear for Bpsc simultaneously and I think Bpsc coachings are good there.

Delhi has lot of advantage I know in terms of preparation....I am from Gaya if I rent a room in Patna it will be near to place ( 3hrs journey by train) so I can go and realax in weekends also my parents can visit my place .....this is the best thing.......


Please suggest guys I m literally very confused !!!!

Hey!! I think getting good food/parental care in between had more benefit then any UPSC MAHOL.. For mahol you can take help of some telegram group etc.

I would anyday prefer location around home(Patna) over delhi provided you are done with classes(optional & gs). Test series of almost all popular optional/essay are already available online(except few). You check with your optional. Standard GS test series are available offline too.(vision/KSG etc). Staying near hometown had huge advantage in my opinion.

One more thing, I feel that after attending UPSC classes you won't need any dedicated coaching for BPSC.(Just an opinion.You can judge that better)

So staying at home and visiting Patna inbetween for material/tests is also a better option if you know how to deal with societal pressure and can aggressively study by locking the door.

P.S.- Locking yourself in room and studying is a myth in my opinion

Fusion ...bro don't lock yourself and study...because you can't...you will end up wasting your years...go to delhi...join test series and practice as much as you can...it will take some more money but you will succeed. Staying alone is most difficult thing..I have 6 years of experience in Upsc field.

Just be calm, and think wisely, in which environment you are comfortable...if you think you can manage all alone and it's ok if you don't meet your parents for few months then choose Delhi or else Patna...brother end of the day your dedication is important and not the place where you are preparing from.

so true.

if i hv to advice my young brother or sister or true friend, i wil simply ask her to come to delhi without giving any second thoughts. hell, i will drag her to delhi and enrol her at vajiram/forum/vision.

but if i m giving a topper's talk, i will say, "do self-study, study from home, read newspapers and magazines, u can do it in first attempt, coachingwalas are demons, use funacademy" and other bullshit like that.

hope evryone got the idea.

Delhi is the best place if you are looking for job opportunities however it's crowded at times at dew places
Patna is an ancient city that sprawls along the south bank of the Ganges River in Bihar, northeast India

I leave here in Delhi since 2016; have done coaching in reputed institute; leave in Karol bagh very close to vajiram and Ravi institute yet I have been unable to exhibit even sign of getting any rank. This is also true for many living in Delhi and same is true for people leaving in Patna.

B..U..T,
It is not delhi's fault or patna's fault that people fail. People with ability do clear exam from every city.

HOWEVER,
Staying in big city among students of similar aptitude and goal does have lots of advantages especially in terms of environment and amount of information available. I know people who had never enrolled in any coaching except for test series but stayed in Delhi and cleared the exam. Coaching can also improve your performance but any also get disappointed ( same people can also like other institute).
In fact there is no guarantee of satisfaction. It is also impossible to tell who should join own institute and who should not.

In short Delhi does have advantage over Patna. The only thing you should have in your mind is economic viability. If u can manage finances then don't give second thought and when you come here try get company of serious people ( most difficult to find such a group, coaching is the best place to form one such group also the libraries).

CAUTION
Coming to Delhi does not guarantee your betterment. This depends entirely upon your personal qualities.

Thanks! Good Luck!
