see there ankit .... if u still think that a better anser is required ... i will geive u as much of my brain abt the matter ...
see , coaching is NOT NECESSARY ! but there is no doubt that it helps a lot . examlpes say it clearly ... in 2005 AIR ! dint go to any coaching class ..... but i have to say that to manage itr without coaching , ur motivation level needs to be really high ... coz hanging on to there is not very easy ... but it is not impossible ... u shud just have the courage to try everything and the will power to try ur best in whatever u do .... in coaching u will get a better environment ... in the sense the material will be taught , then there wil be adequate competetion etc ...but nevertheless a topic studied on ur own is understood in the best way .... then as far as the no. of hrs are concerned ... see there is no limit to that ... :) .... but i think a good devoted time of 5-6 hrs every day .... with extra time on the wekends ... is enuff . it might vary with everybody although ..... and coaching ... join any good one if u really think u shud ... i recommend fiitjee ... in case u cant manage he VMC regular ( no the extended!)
