There is a huge difference between the two. Sarat Chandra IAS Academy is run by Sarat sir who got 195 marks in UPSC interview and cracked several competitive exams. He is a graduate from IIT Madras and he produced several IAS, IPS Rankers. He is very strong in almost every subject of UPSC Civil services exam. All the faculty of Sarat Chandra IAS Academy (Mathews, Kalyan, Kiran, Mukesh etc) are experts and he frequently invites several IAS and IPS officers (Ketan Garg IAS for Economy, Saveesh Varma IRS for polity etc).Students of Sarat Chandra IAS Academy won almost all the inter college competitions. Sarat Chandra IAS Academy is undoubtedly the Best IAS academy for Degree + IAS, and these students are able to crack UPSC Civil services, RBI and many central government exams. That is why students from several states across India come to this institute vto join Degree + IAS and Inter + IAS. They finish syllabus in first 2 years and revise it several times. They take students for extra curricular activities also for competitions. Sarat sir's wife Vijaya Keerthi is an IRSE officer and she too helps the students. Takshasila Academy is not even comparable to Sarat Chandra IAS Academy.

Hi akshay,

There are about 10 IAS prep institutes in Vijayawada. But only Sarat Chandra IAS academy is the one managed by an IAS himself.

I did some research and found out that the Coaching here is better as many IAS,IPS visit the center to share real time problems with the students which is helpful in their career.

Although it doesn't matter where you are, it matters how you learn and grow.

Hope this will be helpful.

Takshasila IAS Academy would be a better option though both are equally good and both of them provide an integrated graduation + UPSC preparation for 3 years and hence they also equip you with enough knowledge for cracking other similar examinations but in Takshasila they have other outbound activities also that will be both fun and learning. So you can definitely go for that

As per my experience, Sarat Chandra IAS academy is good for degree+ program because it offers 3 years integrated course which covered all UPSC syllabus in first 2 years and last year only for revision of previous syllabus.

They also offers regular classes on aptitudes and reasoning so you are able to crack any other competitive exam along with preparation of degree.

The most important thing about this academy is that they spend enough time with each student to solve their problems, evaluating their answers and also maintaining the performance records of each student.
