The hectic Schedule of Foundation Course [FC]...reply to Mr Dattu

Hello Mr Dattu, thanks for your visit on the blog....regarding your query the schedule of FC is very hectic. You will be asked to get up at 5:30 AM and PT will start at 5:45AM till 7:15AM....after that from 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM, you will have lectures [most of them will be highly boring]....then from 2:15 PM to 6:20 PM you will have again lectures....after that on some days you will have some cultural events e.g. music, classical, etc...so, some time you will be free at 9PM....in between you may have lot of high tea [snacks and chat session with Director General]....In all these activities the participation is mandatory....some times, in between the lectures and cultural events, roll call can happen...Besides, you will have one Essay competition, almost 10 days village visit programme, approx 15 days trekking schedule, HOPE project, One Act play programme ,Feast and numerous other activities such as protocol duties...In between you will have two exams one in between and one during last days of FC....thus it is clearly evident that FC is very hectic...But FC is really a great fun....theoretically you will not get any time to prepare for mains but you can take risk to skip some classes [for that memo will be issued ,of course] and prepare for mains...You need not take tension of FC exams as the question papers are very easy in nature and almost all of them are suggestions based which I feel all of you can pass without any study at all...The only one paper which requires some attention is ‘Law Paper’ ......thus You have to put extra mile effort because the general mood in FC is full fun....so to maintain tempo, a lot of extra effort is required...you can form your core team of your friends to prepare for mains...you can study throughout the night and can very well sleep in class [which you will do in any case due to very boring lectures]. You can opt for the same city of FC as your mains exam centre.....
Regarding skipping FC, it may be really risky business this year because Dopt is really taking a lot of pain to organise FC for so many candidates at a time....so just be cautious on this point...those who did it in previous years may have some good links inside or some very valid reasons to do so.....but this year the situation is entirely different...you can talk to some other guys and known persons inside Dopt [if you have any one] and then decide...personally, I will not advise you to skip FC.......further query is welcome....keep blogging....
