If you cannot sit Hauz Khas or Sector 14 on a weekday, FIRST IAS INSTITUTE still runs the same NCERT → books → writing → weekly PRE + MAINS cycle as online live or a recorded Pre+Mains batch.
UPSC Coaching for Working Professionals at FIRST IAS INSTITUTE is online live 1 / 2 / 3 year (with or without Optional) or the recorded Pre+Mains batch when live hours clash with a job. Printed books are couriered. Weekly mocks and copy-check follow the same method as Delhi/Gurgaon — live batches still cap at 35.
A job is not a reason to skip evaluated writing. If you can attend Sector 14 after office, classroom is still available; do not default to PDFs.
Online live: same weekly cycle, named faculty, couriered chapter-wise books. Recorded: IAS Pre & Mains recorded batch for shifts that never match live. Classroom: only if you will actually attend Hauz Khas or Sector 14 — a 2-hour commute after office kills Mains practice.

CSE 2026 with a job is usually 1-year live or recorded plus ruthless calendar honesty. CSE 2027 with a job is often 2-year so GS and Optional do not compete with appraisal season. Fees stay on the 2026 grid.
Admission 2026 · Admission 2027 · 1 Year online without Optional
Paper II fails working aspirants who only watch GS videos. Keep CSAT and Mains tests on the weekly list. Progress is still logged when you are in a live 35-student batch.
