Public Administration is the most popular optional as of now because of three reasons. Firstly, the syllabus if relatively small. Secondly, people get good marks with not much effort. This may be because UPSC is trying to promote the subject and twice in the last three years people scored heavily in PA (leaving aside 2009). Lastly, PA is very simple to understand. It closely resembles GS, helps in both GS and Essay and so helps in reducing the work load.
Naturally, the number of people who give CSE(Mains) more than doubled in the last 3 years. Number of PA coaching centers kept up with the rising number students. It has become a fad of sorts for those who complete their attempts of civil services to come to Old Rajendra Nagar or Mukherjee Nagar and open PA coaching centers to make a living.
As I wrote in one of my earlier post, PA is dynamic subject. So no amount of coaching is useful. Moreover most of the PA coaching centers in Delhi are of spurious kind which cheat the students under the sun and ruin the precious time and the chances. I will share the info on some of the PA coaching centers in Delhi.
First of all there is Synergy institute in Karol Bagh, run by a failed candidate in civils, Mr Mohanty. Many students attend his coaching and speaking in terms of market share, my guess is he has 30-35% market share. His class rooms overflow with the students, all the time some students have to stand outside the class as there is not enough space, there are not enough chairs. I heard from some that those students dont get to see him while he is lecturing but only get to listen to him through speakers located outside the class.
He is lazy bug, not punctual. He teaches only some part of the syllabus, static part essentially. I should admit that he is good at teaching the static part. Heard this from many. He leaves many important topics which are mostly dynamic to his minions who are utterly useless. He passes good chunk of time teaching what he knows the best. Rest all is rushed through by his minions in Usain Bolt's speed.
The problem is he doesn't relate the current events with the static part. I heard that he is trying to rectify his mistakes but still not okay. He gives case studies in explaining the things and I have to say that they are way pedestrian and stupid. Read them and read the case studies in ARC reports, you will understand what I am saying. I guarantee that if reproduce them in the exam, evaluator of your paper will be amused.
Moreover his students tend to insert his case studies forcefully in the answer. This spoils the flow of the question. Right way is to seamlessly integrate the case studies with the actual answer. More on this, later.
He gives some printed booklets to read from, which are highly unorganised. He merely copied from some papers, textbooks. He is such a lazy bug that he didn't even compile them properly. His class notes is better than his printed notes.
I will write about other coaching centers in the next posts.

A nice written article. It has become a fad of sorts for those who complete their attempts of civil services to come to Old Rajendra Nagar or Mukherjee Nagar and open PA coaching centers to make a living.
