Fix copies and mocks — not another orientation week
UPSC Coaching for Repeaters
Repeaters fail on writing, CSAT, Optional or timing — not on “not knowing the syllabus exists.” FIRST IAS INSTITUTE puts a second attempt in a batch of 35 with daily copy-check and weekly Prelims + Mains mocks.
Focus: Evaluated writing + weekly mocks
Batch: 35 — copies can be read
Typical seat: 1-year, often with Optional
Direct answer
UPSC Coaching for Repeaters at FIRST IAS INSTITUTE is a 1-year (sometimes 2-year) seat whose point is checked answers and weekly Prelims + Mains mocks in a batch of 35 — not a second orientation of NCERT unless your first attempt never had a foundation. Progress is logged; Lead Mentors read copies.
If your last hall had 150–200 students and unread scripts, that is the gap this page is written for. See FIRST IAS vs large-hall.

Compare First IAS Academic Programs
Transparent fee structures, strict batch limits, and comprehensive Prelims-cum-Mains tracks.
GS-I marks, CSAT status, which Mains papers were attempted, Optional score, and whether copies were ever marked. CSAT-only failure → CSAT inside the Prelims cycle. Weak Optional → with Optional. Unread Mains copies → Mains test series inside the course.
Admission year: usually 2026 if you sit the next CSE.
2 Do not buy crash if the problem was evaluation
A crash search is common after Prelims. If you still cannot write a 15-mark answer in 11 minutes, you need the weekly Mains cycle, not 30 days of slides. Repeaters who never did NCERT honestly should still be sent to foundation — rare, but say so.
A second attempt with a job still needs live or recorded hours that include writing: Working Professionals. Fees remain the public 1-year line unless counselling maps 2-year.
I already did coaching. Why join FIRST IAS as a repeater?
If copies were not read and tests were sold separately, the published difference is batch size 35, daily writing checks and weekly Prelims + Mains mocks inside the fee.
Will I sit with beginners?
Batches start about every 15 days. Counselling places you by attempt profile; you still share the same method and 35-cap hall, not a secret repeater-only product.
Crash or 1-year for a second attempt?
1-year with mocks. Crash on this site is last-phase revision, not a substitute for unread Mains copies.
Brief your last attempt
Prelims score, CSAT pass/fail, Mains papers, Optional. Counselling will not restart NCERT by default.
