Details about these courses are mentioned in the course programme. The Academy also offers guidance on a number
of popular optional subjects, both from Humanities and Sciences.
We provide a good number of optional subjects under one roof. The
objective behind it is to facilitate serious candidates choose their
optional subject without any constraint and also to save the time.
In fact, selection of optional subjects should be made on the basis
of interest, available study material, proper guidance and scoring
pattern. Moreover for scoring good marks, it is important that a
candidate should develop his/her own point of view on a subject
and learn effective method of presentation with good writing skill.
This can be done by selection and not under any compulsion. That
is why the Academy offers guidance on various popular optional subjects
to facilitate aspirants, as far as possible, in the selection of
suitable optional subjects. |

| Foundation Course | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Foundation Course is the most popular and widely
accepted course offered by the Academy. For grooming the motivated
candidates, this is a complete Guidance Programme for all the three
stages of the Civil Services Examination, namely Preliminary, Main
and Interview. This Programme is developed by the Director Academic
and by a team of academicians and bureaucrats engaged in research
and development work of the Academy. This course has produced appreciable
results. A very large percentage of successful candidates of Cresent
Academy belong to this unique course. Keeping in mind the fast changing
trends of the Civil Services Examination, this course has been updated
for the new academic session starting from 1 May 2004.
It is a well known fact that the Civil Services Examintion (CSE) is quite different from the conventional university examinations. This is because the objective of the CSE is fundamentally different from university examinations. The aim of the CSE in not to look for a scholar but an administrator. Therefore, al through the three stages(Preliminary, Main & Interview) there is constant evaluation of a condidate's administrative capabilities. Moreover, it is a competitive examination in which a condidate's performance is seen in comparison to that of other participants. In order to quality in the CSE, a condidate needs a proper perspective understanding of the nature and orientation of the examination and a perfect grooming to fullfill its requirements. Mere completion of the prescribed syallabus and cramming facts and figures will not help in qualifying for the examination. This much can be done by any hardworking candidate. In fact, the same kind of books and material are read by most of the serious and laborious candidates. There is need of excellence in terms of approach of reading and writing and developing accuracy and efficiency. However, what is most important is a candidate's ability to develop his own point of view on a subject that he reads and his capacity to present it a convincing way. The candidate should reflect originality in his thoughts and expression and should be update and balance in approach. While desiring this course, the above mentioned facts have been given proper weightage. Therefore, under the Foundation Course attention is paid to the complete development of a candidate so that he can face all the three stages of the CSE confidently. Under this programme there will be thorough coverage of syllabus of both the Optional Subjects, General Studies and Essay and Genral English papers with an integrated approach to preparation for Prelims, Main and Interview. Personality Development Programme is the strength of this Programme to make the Civil Services aspirants successful. There will be no long vacation except the weekly holiday on Monday.
