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.

Why Vaids ICS — The Real Difference

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.

📝

Repeat Test Series — Unlimited

Appear for the full test series in any future cycle with individual copy evaluation — again and again until you are satisfied with your preparation.

What Our Students Say

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
Anthropology Score: 320 / 500
"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
Engineer — Zero Prior Anthropology Background
"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."
Narayan Amit
AIR 77 · IAS 2021 · Vaids ICS Delhi
Highest Anthropology Score: 305 / 500
Why Anthropology Optional

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.

Common Questions

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.

What is included in the ₹50,000 / ₹40,000 fee — are there hidden charges?
+

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.

How do I secure my seat for the Sep 17 or Oct 12, 2026 batch?
+

Fill the registration form on this page or WhatsApp us at +91-93113 37737. Our team will call you within 4 hours to discuss your preparation stage, batch preference, and fee payment. Seats are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
