The Civil Service Full-Time Coaching Programme, or Prelims-cum-Mains (PCM) Course, is meant for graduates and post-graduates who wish to appear for the Civil Services Examination as well as other competitive examinations conducted by the UPSC. Students may join any of the three batches; May, June, or August. The programme includes coaching for the UPSC Civil Services Preliminary Examination, Main Examinations, and Personality Test/Interview. More than 500 hours of comprehensive classes will be conducted for General Studies papers. An additional 200 hours of classes will be provided for optional subjects available at the institute. Presently, we offer Malayalam, Sociology and PSIR as optional subjects.
In addition to classroom sessions, every student will get personalised mentorship support by a well experienced Mentor. The mentorship support addresses both academic and other factors affecting performance in the examinations. Furthermore, mentors will conduct common mentorship sessions including group discussions, debates, and other academic activities. Special sessions to address the challenges of beginners and personal mentorship with continuous follow up to help students effectively manage study related stress are unique features of the mentorship at our Institute.
As part of continuous evaluation process, students will attend Prelims Model Tests every week. It aims at strengthening their preparation for exams. From the end of October onwards, students will participate in specialised and comprehensive Prelims programmes such as the Nano Test Series, Intensive Study Plan, Prelims Test Series, and the Quest for Questions Circle, through which they will attempt over 7,000 questions before the Prelims examination in late May. Special programmes such as Cartogram for Geography, Revision Classes for Current Affairs, remedial sessions for CSAT and PYQ Practice Sessions also offer added advantages to students.
With a view to making the preparations for Mains Exam more effective, students will be given an answer-writing workbook and attend a three-stage writing programme designed to enhance their writing skills. It is designed in such a manner to help students crack the Mains in the first attempt itself. All answers will be evaluated by mentors, and personalised feedback will be provided. Programmes such as special Essay sessions, Essay Workbooks, Ethics Journals, and Daily Answer Writing sessions add further value to the Mains preparation.
Students who complete the first year of the programme may continue to use the institute’s facilities in the following year as part of their repeat attempt. Those who clear the Prelims examination and are preparing for subsequent stages may also use the facilities free of cost until their final results are declared.
The course is also designed to support students preparing for the Kerala Administrative Service (KAS) and other examinations conducted by the Kerala PSC. Therefore, students are encouraged to appear for other competitive examinations conducted by various authorities across India.
I needed something to boost my confidence. This institute really helped me because, with Sunil Sir, it wasn’t just a brief session like most prominent institutions offer. Instead, sessions lasted 3-4 hours, which allowed for a thorough approach. That really helped me focus on every detail and boosted my confidence.
I’m deeply grateful to Civil Service Institute Pala, where I began my Civil Service journey in 2023 with the PCM Full-time batch. Choosing Malayalam as my optional subject here was a great decision, thanks to the guidance of Baby Sir and Davis Sir. The institute’s calm atmosphere, excellent facilities, and supportive peer group also contributed significantly to my preparation.
A major motivation factor in my preparation journey or rather, what kept me rooted in this dream was the Pala Civil Service Institute. I joined here for the foundation course after completing my 10th grade. The classes were held on every second Saturday. The sessions by Arya R. Nair IRS and Jubin Sir were especially interesting.
I did PCM Full time course and Malayalam Optional at the beautiful green campus of CSIP. I express my heartfelt gratitude to the Institute for helping me to clear Civil Service Examination.
I had attended the full- time course at Pala. I made extensive use of all the resources provided by the Institute. The study atmosphere and the reading facilities helped me boost my preparation.
CSIP offered a peaceful and serene atmosphere and comfortable reading spaces that immensely helped in my intial stages of preparation. Baby sir’s and Davis sir’s classes instilled confidence and interest in me to take up Malayalam optional and soon it became my comfort zone amidst the tiring preparation process.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Jubin Sir, who mentored me during my Mains preparation. I am really impressed with the Malayalam optional classes and the test series of CSIP.
It is the intensive study plan of Pala Civil Service Institute that helped me to cover syllabus on time and clear Prelims. The mentorship, reading room and library were also very supportive.
