Hi,
In coaching classes you will get a competitive and motivational environment and Inputs from faculty would help grasp more knowledge within a limited period of time. Taking tests that they conduct regularly would help you improve your speed and ability to handle different types of questions. Time, money and travelling for attending the classes regularly are the disadvantages. On the other hand, if you are preparing on your own or correspondence, you would have the privilege to study at a time and place convenient to you. You could schedule your preparation according to your priorities. You could avoid losing time and energy in travelling from one coaching institute to another and then further to home/college. Today internet has changed the scenario and have most profound and visible impact on self study. So in my opinion preparation for civil services by using correspondence mode is a great choice for a person who can discipline self towards his target.
Good luck.
