As the Academic year ends by the month of April Everybody would be started to think about their future. So I am receiving many emails/messages from college goers and school goers asking how to reach their goal by joining in Saidai Duraisamy’s Manidhanaeyam IAS Coaching Centre.
I Feel lazy to reply the same thing repeatedly. So I’m posting my experience. The facts I’m mentioning is just what I felt and it is completely my own perception and experiences. I’m not an authorized person from  Saidai Duraisamy’s Manidhanaeyam IAS coaching centre, but just a student of Manidhanaeyam IAS Coaching centre who studied last year.

Doubts on Manidhanaeyam IAS Coaching:

♦I’m Just Studying College or Higher secondary in school can I join?

Students completed bachelor’s degree and waiting for results can only apply for UPSC ICS exam.
So Graduated students are only allowed to study. There are many Institutions for you where you can join by paying fees even though you are a college goer. But if you are interested in Manidhanaeyam just approach them and ask for details as there may be admissions for you luckily.
Apart from joining Manidhanaeyam if you are choosing civil service as your carrier during school or college days just you start preparing for civil service with the help of Internet.

♦Will Manidhanaeyam provide coaching for TNPSC exams too?

Manidhanaeyam also focuses on TNPSC exams but you have to be approaching them regularly for dates. The office will have lot of works as whole Tamil Nadu is making calls to them so there may be an improper reply for your questions but be sure about asking them repeatedly if you are serious about preparations.

Manidhanaeyam IAS coaching Centre provides free coaching to many competitive exams. UPSC Civil Service Examination, TNPSC group 1, group 2, group 4, VAO, Specialized recruitments, TNUSRB, SI Exam, etc.

♦Do Manidhanaeyam provide online Coaching?

Up to to my Knowledge Manidhanaeyam does not provide you online coaching. They are not even updating thier website then how can someone expect for that provision. Recently Manidhanaeyam uploaded some of the study materials for registered TNPSC group 2 aspirants. They have also uploaded some model question papers. But they cannot be taken as the online course.

♦Can other state students join in Manidhanaeyam?

Yes, some other state students are also preparing from Manidhanaeyam.

Register Here and wait for their reply. This is not the final application. It is like one-time registration. Once they have notified for exams you need to register that using this one-time registration.

♦What type of questions will be asked in entrance
According to their notification on 2013 Exam pattern
GS 60 Ques  (History, Geography, Economics, Polity, Science, EVS, Current Affairs)
CSAT 40 Ques (Logical Reasoning, Quantitative Apti, English Comprehension)
Total 100 Ques

♦How to prepare for Manidhanaeyam Entrance / What are all the books to study to pass in Manidhanaeyam Entrance Exam?
Book they suggest for general studies in their 2013 notification was
TATA MCGRAW HILL – GENERAL STUDIES MANUAL
but they haven’t suggested any books for LOGICAL REASONING, QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE AND ENGLISH COMPREHENSION.

I suggest NCERT books rather than Tata McGraw Hill for GS but covering all ncert books in short time period is difficult so prefer TMH if you want to prepare in a hurry.
R.S. Aggarwal’s books are more than enough for CSAT Ques (Quantitative Aptitude Book, Verbal and Non Verbal Reasoning). But after finishing R.S.Aggarwal start practising by solving question papers.

Don’t prepare for Manidhanaeyam Entrance Exam just Prepare for Civil Service Exam if then you can crack it for sure.

♦Where can I get Model Question paper for Manidhanaeyam IAS Coaching Centre or Previous Year Question paper for Manidhanaeyam IAS Academy?I have posted some of the Saidai Duraisamy’s Manidhanaeyam Entrance Exam Previous Year Question Papers.

♦How much Should we score to get selected?
Nearly 1000 students will be selected. cut off depends on the number of students appearing, total number of available seats and performance. last year a student with 120 marks got selected. so it is safe to score more than 100.
♦How many students will be appearing for the examination?
Approximately 11,000+ students are applying for exams which can be decoded by roll numbers generated by the server.
♦What is the course duration?
Classes will be conducted up to prelims exam after that mains coaching will also be provided up to prelims result. After that students passing the prelims can only continue. So minimum 6-7 months.
When will the Classes get started?
Even they don’t know answers for this question and so we have to first wait for the entrance exam. So start preparing for ICS rather than worrying about classes.
♦Where to stay? Is it free to reside in Manidhanaeyam?
Those who have cleared mains were only allowed to reside in Manidhanaeyam for free. For boys there are limited number of rooms in Anna Nagar at a cheap cost( Perhaps only for electricity, not sure about it) provided by Manidhanaeyam. Others we have to arrange it by ourselves. Prefer to take a home for rent with 4-6 friends. it will reduce your spending.
♦If I failed in Entrance Examination can I join in Manidhanaeyam by paying fees?

No. They have said me there are no such provisions. But from 2015 they have cancelled the entrance exam so anyone can join.

♦Is there any other option than Manidhanaeyam  IAS coaching Centre

Yes, All India Civil Service Coaching Centre alias STI (Run By Tamilnadu Government)  is there to provide you free course. I will also blog about that institute soon.
♦How much do I need to spend to Prepare from Chennai

Roughly you need 6000 bucks per month to survive (including food and shelter) in Chennai as an Aspirant. If you come with some bunch of friends your expense may reduce. You guys can rent a house and share rent. This would make less expenses.
