Up to to my Knowledge Manidhanaeyam does not provide you online coaching. They are not even updating thier website then how can someone expect for that provision. Recently Manidhanaeyam uploaded some of the study materials for registered TNPSC group 2 aspirants. They have also uploaded some model question papers. But they cannot be taken as the online course.

According to their notification on 2013 Exam pattern
GS 60 Ques  (History, Geography, Economics, Polity, Science, EVS, Current Affairs)
CSAT 40 Ques (Logical Reasoning, Quantitative Apti, English Comprehension)
Total 100 Ques

♦How to prepare for Manidhanaeyam Entrance / What are all the books to study to pass in Manidhanaeyam Entrance Exam?
Book they suggest for general studies in their 2013 notification was
TATA MCGRAW HILL – GENERAL STUDIES MANUAL
but they haven’t suggested any books for LOGICAL REASONING, QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE AND ENGLISH COMPREHENSION.

I suggest NCERT books rather than Tata McGraw Hill for GS but covering all ncert books in short time period is difficult so prefer TMH if you want to prepare in a hurry.
R.S. Aggarwal’s books are more than enough for CSAT Ques (Quantitative Aptitude Book, Verbal and Non Verbal Reasoning). But after finishing R.S.Aggarwal start practising by solving question papers.

Don’t prepare for Manidhanaeyam Entrance Exam just Prepare for Civil Service Exam if then you can crack it for sure.

♦Where can I get Model Question paper for Manidhanaeyam IAS Coaching Centre or Previous Year Question paper for Manidhanaeyam IAS Academy?I have posted some of the Saidai Duraisamy’s Manidhanaeyam Entrance Exam Previous Year Question Papers.

Approximately 11,000+ students are applying for exams which can be decoded by roll numbers generated by the server.

Classes will be conducted up to prelims exam after that mains coaching will also be provided up to prelims result. After that students passing the prelims can only continue. So minimum 6-7 months.

 ♦When will the Classes get started?

Even they don’t know answers for this question and so we have to first wait for the entrance exam. So start preparing for ICS rather than worrying about classes.

Those who have cleared mains were only allowed to reside in Manidhanaeyam for free. For boys there are limited number of rooms in Anna Nagar at a cheap cost( Perhaps only for electricity, not sure about it) provided by Manidhanaeyam. Others we have to arrange it by ourselves. Prefer to take a home for rent with 4-6 friends. it will reduce your spending.

♦If I failed in Entrance Examination can I join in Manidhanaeyam by paying fees?

♦Is there any other option than Manidhanaeyam  IAS coaching Centre

Yes,  All India Civil Service Coaching Centre alias STI (Run By Tamilnadu Government)  is there to provide you free course. I will also blog about that institute soon.

Roughly you need 6000 bucks per month to survive (including food and shelter) in Chennai as an Aspirant. If you come with some bunch of friends your expense may reduce. You guys can rent a house and share rent. This would make less expenses.
