Repeat Classes and Test Series Any Number of Times — No Extra Fee
UPSC is not a one-attempt journey for most students. Vaids ICS is the only coaching in India that allows enrolled students to repeat both the classroom course and the test series any number of times — without paying again. This is what unconditional support looks like.
If you clear your attempt, you move on. If you need another year of preparation, you come back — your enrollment never expires.
Repeat the Full Classroom Course
Sit through the entire 5-month course again in any future batch — offline or online. Free revision of every topic with fresh faculty notes and updated current affairs.
Repeat the Complete Test Series
Appear for the full 8-week test series again in any future cycle. Same individual copy evaluation, same detailed written feedback — again and again until you are satisfied.
WhatsApp Current Affairs — Ongoing
Daily WhatsApp current affairs continue for as long as you are a student of Vaids ICS — through every attempt, every year, until you succeed.
Post-Prelims and Interview — Every Attempt
Every time you clear Prelims, you get the Target IAS Mains guidance. Every time you clear Mains, you get the Interview preparation. These benefits renew with every attempt.

Beyond AI: Why Human Evaluation Changes Everything
In a world where AI tools generate generic feedback in seconds, Vaids ICS provides what no algorithm can — the nuanced academic judgment that comes from 44 years of reading, evaluating, and personally coaching UPSC Anthropology answers.
When Vaid Sir's faculty marks your answer, they draw on four decades of pattern recognition — which arguments UPSC examiners have rewarded, which phrases signal depth, which Indian examples separate a 14/20 from an 18/20.
Individual Copy Evaluation — Every Answer
Your test series answers are read and marked by faculty individually — not auto-scored, not peer-marked. You receive specific written feedback on content, structure, and language.
Exact Answer Format That Examiners Reward
Vaid Sir tells you exactly what to write, not just what to know — structure, citation placement, which diagrams to draw, and how to frame conclusions for maximum marks.
Daily WhatsApp Preparation Support
Abhinav Jain (AIR 35, IAS 2023) used definitions sent on WhatsApp 10 days before Mains directly in his actual exam answers. This is real-time preparation support, not passive content.

In Their Own Words
"The updated content from Vaid Sir helped me enrich my answers in a way no other coaching could. Framing answers was quite easy due to reading Anthropology in a question-answer format as guided by Vaid Sir."
Shubham Kumar
AIR 1 · IAS 2020 · Vaids ICS Delhi
"I am an engineer with no prior Anthropology knowledge. Vaid Sir's WhatsApp current affairs — definitions sent 10 days before Mains — were directly used in my actual exam answers and helped me secure marks."
Abhinav Jain
AIR 35 · IAS 2023 · Vaids ICS Delhi
"He tells you exactly what to write in your answers. When Sir gives feedback on answers and shares logical insights, I always listen. The option to repeat the course and test series is uniquely convenient and gives you real confidence."

The Smartest Optional Decision You Can Make
Data-backed reasons why 2,500+ Vaids ICS students chose Anthropology over History, Geography, and Public Administration.
4–5
Months to Complete
Shorter syllabus than History (10–12 months), Geography (8–10 months), or PSIR (8 months). More revision time = higher scores.
320
Our Highest Score
Shubham Kumar (AIR 1, 2020) scored 320 out of 500. Our system is designed for this range — consistently 80–120 marks above the national average.
60%+
No Background Needed
Most of our students are engineers, doctors and commerce graduates with zero prior Anthropology knowledge. No prior reading required.
GS 1,2,3
Syllabus Overlap
Tribal India, human ecology, and social change — these topics appear in GS-1, GS-2 and GS-3 simultaneously. One optional, double preparation value.
Frequently Asked
I have never studied Anthropology. Can I still join?
Absolutely. Over 60% of our students come from engineering, medicine, and commerce backgrounds with zero prior Anthropology knowledge. Shubham Kumar (AIR 1, 2020) was an engineer. The course is designed to take you from complete beginner to exam-ready in 5 months. No prerequisites, no background required.
No hidden charges. The fee covers the complete 5-month course, printed and digital notes, the full 8-week test series with individual evaluation, app access, WhatsApp current affairs, post-Prelims guidance, interview guidance, and the unlimited repeat facility. Everything is included in one payment.
What exactly does "repeat any number of times" mean?
If you are enrolled in the Vaids ICS Classroom Course, you can attend any future batch of the course again — sitting through all the classes — at no additional charge. Similarly, you can appear for the test series in any future cycle with full individual evaluation. This repeats for every attempt until you clear the examination. WhatsApp current affairs also continue throughout. There is no time limit on this facility.
What is the difference between the Offline and Online programmes?
Both receive identical content — the same lectures, notes, test series, and WhatsApp current affairs. The offline programme is held at our Old Rajender Nagar campus in Delhi. The online programme streams the same classes live through the Vaids ICS App (iOS and Android) with recorded access for revision. The price difference (₹50,000 vs ₹40,000) reflects the difference in facility costs, not content quality.
How does the test series evaluation work?
The test series runs for 8 weeks after the 5-month course ends. You write answers under timed conditions and submit your answer copies. Faculty evaluates every answer individually — not by peer review or auto-scoring — and returns your copy with written feedback specifying what was missing, what was well-argued, and exactly how to improve your marks. This is the core of the Vaids ICS system.
Does the fee include post-Prelims and interview guidance?
Yes — both are included in the same fee. After you clear Prelims, the Anthro Target IAS Mains guidance programme activates automatically for you at no additional charge. After you clear Mains, interview preparation guidance is provided. Both renew with every attempt under the unlimited repeat facility.
