Final year is the fork: sit CSE 2026 on a 1-year FIRST IAS seat if you will be a graduate in time — or take 2-year toward CSE 2027 if NCERT and Optional are still open. Batch size 35 either way.
If CSE 2026: Usually 1-year (graduate in time)
If CSE 2027: Usually 2-year
Batch: 35 students
Direct answer

Transparent fee structures, strict batch limits, and comprehensive Prelims-cum-Mains tracks.
You appear for CSE only as a graduate (minimum age 21). Final-year students often get a provisional window — confirm the current UPSC notification, not a coaching slogan. If the 2026 date-sheet clashes with practicals/viva, take Admission 2027 instead of burning a first attempt.
Placement season kills attendance. If you will miss Hauz Khas / Sector 14 for months, start online live (same 35-cap method) rather than a classroom you never sit. CSAT still fails final-year students who only revise GS-I — CSAT course.
3 Optional in the last two semesters
If your honours paper is already a UPSC Optional, the with Optional 1-year line can overlap. If Optional is new, do not add it in March of the attempt year; use integrated Pre+Mains and a 2027 Optional plan.
Only if you meet UPSC’s graduate and age rules for that notification. FIRST IAS counselling maps 1-year vs 2-year after you state your degree end date.
Is final year too late for foundation?
If NCERTs are untouched, a 2026 1-year crash is the wrong tool. Use 2-year toward 2027 (foundation course) rather than a fake crash.
Classroom or online in final year?
Classroom if you will attend after placements; otherwise online live with couriered books.
