UPSC weekend batch in Hyderabad for working professionals
Pragnya IAS Academy's UPSC weekend batch lets working professionals in Hyderabad prepare for the Civil Services Examination without leaving their job. Classes run on Saturdays and Sundays at Ashok Nagar, with a live online option, weekly answer writing, tests and personal mentoring, plus a short weekday study routine.
What is the UPSC weekend batch?
It is Pragnya's General Studies programme for Prelims and Mains, scheduled on weekends so you can keep working. Weekend sessions cover the concepts; short weekday tasks keep current affairs, revision and answer writing moving.
You can attend in the classroom at Ashok Nagar or join the same classes live online — useful when office work or travel keeps you away from Hyderabad. Exact batch timings and start dates are shared during counselling.
Who the weekend batch is for
The batch is designed for aspirants who cannot attend weekday coaching.
- IT and corporate employees in HITEC City, Gachibowli, Madhapur and the Financial District
- Government, bank and PSU employees preparing for the Civil Services
- Teachers, doctors, engineers and other professionals with weekday commitments
- Postgraduate students and aspirants who also want to prepare for TGPSC / APPSC Group 1
How to prepare for UPSC while working
A realistic routine is 2–3 focused hours on weekdays and 8–10 hours on weekends. Use mornings for reading, your commute for current affairs, and weekends for classes, tests and weekly consolidation.
Pick a manageable optional subject early, keep your sources small, and write answers every week. Discipline matters more than the number of hours. Our free AI study planner can turn your weekly hours into a personal timetable.
- Weekdays: newspaper or daily current-affairs analysis, one revision block, one answer
- Saturday: classes, doubt clearing and sectional practice
- Sunday: classes, a weekly test or answer-writing session, and planning for the week
