Frequently Asked Questions

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 April, May or June 2026 batch?
