    • Hello santhan,

      Selection of coaching institute depends upon many factors like where do you live, what kind of facility you want from a institute, what is the purpose your to take admission in a coaching etc. So it is really hard to provide a institute name for an aspirant.
      I can give some advise to you contact you previously qualified friends or check some facebook communities and page for getting knowledge about good coaching institute for architecture engineering as per your requirements.

  2. Is any of this study material available online? E-books or soft copies of the course work? Or I need to purchase all the hard copies?

    • Hello Sailee,

      We don’t provide any kind of online material information. However we suggest you to join some good facebook communities for regular updates and guidance.
      If you invest your precise time in finding E-books in these last 6-7 month of preparation then you are surely wasting your time.
      You must have a book of each subject to understand that subject completely.
