KL Deemed to be University in Vijayawada has signed an MoU with Delhi-based Vajiram & Ravi IAS Academy to offer integrated UPSC coaching from this academic year. Announcement was made on Friday by Vice-Chancellor G. Parthasaradhi Varma.
The coaching will be provided to students enrolled in the B.A. programme with an IAS orientation course. It includes offline and online classes, digital learning portal, recorded lectures, test series and mentorship. Students will not pay any extra fee for the coaching.
Such tie-ups between universities and coaching institutes are often hailed as a shortcut to success. The real benefit is reducing the financial burden on aspirants. But the risk is that degree education may become secondary to exam preparation. The test will be whether students from this programme outperform those who attend standalone coaching centres while pursuing a regular degree.
