Rau’s IAS Study Circle Delhi: course and fee research for UPSC aspirants. This profile separates published programme details from points that need a current admission quote.
Courses and published fees
Rau’s course-fee page lists separate classroom and online amounts. The reviewed GS figures were ₹1,75,500 offline and ₹95,500 online. Optional figures were ₹55,500 and ₹45,500, while CSAT figures were ₹18,500 and ₹12,500 respectively.
The same page still contains classroom scheduling for CSE 2024 and a 2025 weekend course, including an August 2023 start. Those dates are not upcoming batches. The classroom GS heading marks ₹1,75,500 as GST-inclusive; do not extend that tax label to every other product without checking. Treat these figures as published reference amounts and obtain a current batch-specific quote before paying. Do not present an old batch date as the next admission start.
Confirm tax, recordings, test access and mentoring separately. The price difference alone does not establish differences in teaching quality or the amount of personal feedback.
Who should compare this option?
Students comparing classroom and online GS budgets with separate optional and CSAT costs.
Key question: Does the current quotation match the batch you can join, and which evaluated tests and recordings remain available?
How to assess the course before enrolment
Attend a sample class in the same mode and medium you intend to buy. Ask for the named teachers, weekly timetable, answer-evaluation turnaround and a written account of what is included. Compare the total payable with your travel, accommodation and study-material budget.
Results, reviews and evidence
This profile uses the institute’s published information, checked on 16 October 2026. It is not a field inspection or an independent verification of selection claims. A student may have taken only a test series or interview programme; that does not establish participation in a full classroom course. We do not assign an invented rating or selection percentage.
Before paying
- Obtain a dated quotation naming the exact batch and all taxes.
- Confirm recordings, validity, tests, mentoring and optional-subject inclusions.
- Read cancellation, refund and batch-transfer terms.
- Keep the brochure, receipt and written commitments.
