UPSC Mains is written in English or an approved Indian language. This page is for aspirants who will write GS, Essay and Optional in English and want that language in every classroom hour — not a translated afterthought.

1 Where English-medium IAS coaching actually sits in Delhi
FIRST IAS INSTITUTE’s Delhi centre is at 47/1, Second Floor, Kalu Sarai, Hauz Khas, New Delhi 110016 — nearest metro Hauz Khas, Exit 4. English-medium batches run here, not in a rented mega-hall in Mukherjee Nagar or Karol Bagh.
That address matters for English-medium aspirants who already live in South Delhi, or who move to Delhi specifically to sit a small classroom rather than a franchise lecture. The same academic method is used in Gurgaon (Sector 14) and in online live classes.
Lectures, blackboard work, newspaper analysis, CSAT, Essay and Optional discussion are in English. Answer copies are evaluated for UPSC English expression — structure, keywords and economy of words — not for a Hindi-to-English translation of notes.
The published sequence is the same as the institute methodology: NCERT first, then printed chapter-wise books, daily writing, CSAT, DAF and weekly Prelims + Mains mocks. Material is issued as hard copy; it is not a PDF dump labelled “English medium”.
3 Why batch size 35 is the English-medium difference in Delhi
Delhi’s typical large-hall model puts 150–200 students in one room. Daily English answer scripts cannot be read at that scale. FIRST IAS caps the batch at 35 to maintain personalized attention so Lead Mentors (headed by Smt. Manikuntala Ghosh Mam) can mark copies and log mock scores.
English-medium progress is measured the same way as every other FIRST IAS batch: attendance, writing remarks and weekly test scores on a progress monitor — not a once-a-year “test series” sold separately.
1-year, 2-year and 3-year programmes — with and without Optional — are published on a single 2026 fee grid for classroom and online live. English-medium Delhi aspirants should match attempt year and Optional to that grid before paying a counselling-only quote elsewhere.
Choose Hauz Khas if you can attend weekday classroom hours in South Delhi. Choose Sector 14 or online live if the commute from NCR or another state is the constraint — the English-medium method does not change.
