Why Coaching Is a Must For the CDS Exam?

To prepare for a competitive exam like CDS, coaching is a must to get success in the first attempt. With the increasing competition for the CDS exam, Clearing the CDS with self-study could be difficult. Here is why the CDS exam coaching is a must:

More than 3 lakh candidates sit for the CDS exam and the number is rapidly increasing year by year. This increasing number of candidates makes the CDS exam more competitive. Even a mark difference could mean the success or rejection of the candidate. There are only 400 and 420 seats available for the officer rank every year with 3 lakh+ candidates appearing in the CDS exam. Self-study may not be enough to crack the exam. A good coaching institute can increase the chances of your success. That is the reason for the importance of CDS coaching.

  • Coaching institutes provide you with comprehensive study material of notes, practice sets, assignments and worksheets for exceptional preparation.
  • Coaching also offers doubt removal sessions thus students can build a strong understanding.
