  • Classroom coaching is no longer mandatory due to the abundance of online resources.
  • Self-study allows for personalized pacing and deeper conceptual clarity.
  • However, coaching can provide structure and peer competition for those who struggle with discipline.
  • Many successful candidates now follow a hybrid model: self-studying core subjects while using targeted online modules and test series for evaluation.
  • Ultimately, your consistency and quality of practice matter more than a physical classroom.
