After over a year into UPSC preparation, imagine my shock when I learnt that there's UPSC coaching in Mumbai available less than a km from my home. And I never knew about it.
So much for publicity!
Presenting to you - Academy for Administrative Careers, Mumbai. AAC.
(I missed their admission notice. Didn't know there was such an academy at all. ) So visited and met the director today.
I learnt that they have a huge nice budget (which MU allocates to this department), for this reason itself I would suggest Mumbai UPSC aspirants to try and leverage this.
Like SIAC Mumbai, AAC also conducts an entrance exam along prelim lines.
It should be worth exploring.
Reasons -
1) Mumbai University professors would have a PhD at minimum to become a lecturer there. Hopefully this should be of some use to AAC.
2) You will get access to a good library and resources, at minimum. Which is the most important factor in preparing from a city like Mumbai - which is so UPSC resource starved.
3) I do not have any more idea about AAC. But I expect that adequate pressure should definitely fetch the desired response. Nearly every govt institution in India works on this principle. I mean that AAC too might start being good the moment students absolutely insist on and precisely define what they want arranged. (be it books, lectures or tests) Keep persisting, keep going with the demands, get lectures arranged. No reason why this AAC shouldn't be good.
I was also told (by the Director) that coaching is available to anyone, and not just Mumbai University students
