FAQ

It is normally very difficult to prepare on your own due to many reasons. The most common is, if you do not understand a concept/topic/subject, you will get stuck and may feel demotivated. Without Personal coaching and constant guidance, passing the examination could be very difficult. Also, as a student you need to be informed about where you stand exactly in your preparation and be guided on how to prepare for the exams and also get constant feedback on your study progress.
Our coaching will make your study very easy. Our faculties explain subjects lucidly and give practical examples, case studies and step-by-step method of solving problems. With this you will find your progress easier and faster. In addition, we help you solve your doubts either on Discussion Forum or via Live Doubt Clearing (LDC) sessions. We also provide examination oriented questions along with suggested answers, last minute revision notes etc.
It is very good to know that you are highly motivated to complete the CS on your own. But you might be aware, CS being a professional examination, there is a lot of emphasis on practical problems, case studies and topics which needs industry exposure.
If you study only from books, you may be deprived of some of the vital knowledge which our expert faculties share. They also provide clues and suggestions which are very critical from examination point of view.
Being industry experts our faculties take extra care to include practical examples and tips while delivering the lectures so that all your doubts are resolved. They give you exposure to scenarios which is useful not only for passing exams but also when you become a practicing CS yourself.
With this kind of value addition, our coaching will be really beneficial to you.
It is nice to know that you have friends and/or brother /sister to help you. But, chances remain that they would be busy many a times due to their commitment to work or otherwise. And, by chance they are not available when you need them most especially before the exams, then it could create issue for you and you might feel nervous.
We provide platforms for doubt clearance through LDC (Live Doubt Clearance) sessions and DF (Discussion Forum) where you get a chance to interact with your faculties/peers and get each and every clarification.
Besides, we provide Pre-Exam Counselling sessions that open 15 days before the date of the final exam. This is to take care of any last minute doubt or exam related tension that students often face.
So you see, it’s not only the curriculum that we take care of. Our coaching is holistic and takes care of psychological aspects of students facing one of the toughest exams.
Yes, the syllabuses of CS and CA for many subjects are similar (though not same entirely). The CS covers Corporate and allied laws like Securities Law, Economics laws, Financial Accounting, Cost & Management Accounting, Financial Management, Direct Taxes and Indirect Taxes etc. which are covered in CA, too.
When you join our CS coaching which covers the syllabus thoroughly you will find that it helps a lot in your preparation for CA exam too.
Also, since you are preparing for both the exams you are really hard pressed for time. This is where convenience and flexibility of our Online Coaching comes very handy.
You will get the opportunity to learn from the best faculties always and can access the specially recorded video lectures any time at your convenience. Learning happens very scientifically step-by-step, with plenty of live case studies, short notes given which you will find very useful for both the exams.
You can also clear your doubts through our Live Doubt Clearing (LDC) sessions or Discussion Forums (DFs).
Therefore, our coaching will be complementary to your CA Studies.
We provide you best of the coaching class experience, academic support and even more. Here is what we give you…
You have to attend lectures in classes only at pre-scheduled time. (At times even scheduled lectures are cancelled with /without notice thereby wasting your time). Whereas our specially recorded Video Lectures can be accessed any time at your convenience.
Generally, in classroom coaching, Lessons /topics are covered only once and in case if you miss out a class or are not able to follow it entirely you lose the information forever without any chance of retrieval. You could even find difficulty in understanding the subsequent lectures which would be in continuation.
Whereas, through our online coaching, you can access to the lectures any number of times and at your convenience. Besides you can access the Archived LVCs (Live Virtual Classrooms) which cover the difficult topics specially.
If still in doubt, you can get clarification by accessing LDC (Live Doubt Clearing) sessions or Discussion Forums.

The online coaching that we offer is not at all cold, distant and monotonous learning or without any human face to interact with.
The specially recorded video lectures are very lucid and interactive. Then there are Live Virtual Classrooms (LVCs) on difficult topics where you get to interact with our highly experienced faculties and get clarification on that particular topic.
Likewise, our faculties conduct Live Doubt Clearing (LDCs) sessions where you are free to ask any subject related question(s).
Discussion Forums are there where you can upload your doubts and queries to be solved by faculties and even peers too.
Apart from these we open Pre-Exam Student’s Helpline by experienced counsellors to help overcome exam related anxieties. The helpline opens 15 days before exams.
Our Post-Result Student’s Helpline, remain open up to 10 days after the results, for both successful and unsuccessful students. The counsellors give valuable advice to help chart out future road map to successful students. Instead of ‘giving up’ their dreams of a life changing career opportunity, unsuccessful students get full support, advice and tips on how to go past the unfortunate situation and leverage upon the experiences gained to hit the target next time.
So you see, our online coaching is full of human touch, support and personal attention not only throughout your studies but even after the results!
There are two ways you can do this. You can attend the Live Doubt Clearing (LDC) sessions to interact with faculty LIVE. Else, you can post your doubts in discussion forum which is answered by the faculty. Here you also get to see the doubts raised by peer students and draw insight from them.
Deciding on the best institute could be a little difficult but if any coaching institute answers below mentioned questions, then you might think to join the same…
  • Does the institute have Rank Holders in any of its offered courses and how consistently it is delivering Rank Holders, semester- on- semester?
  • Has it won any awards, or recognition from well-known National/State bodies?
  • Does the Institute provide flexibility and convenience of studies?
  • Are the faculties only busy with completing syllabus or provide special Doubts Solving Session and personalised feedback to students?
  • Will the institute track your studies and suggest improvements?
  • Will it allow you to sit in the class as a guest student for at least a week before you decide to join?
  • Does its faculties have rich industry experience besides excellence in Academics and teaching experience?
  • Is the fees charged reasonable? Does it allow you the flexibility to pay only for what you want i.e. either enroll for your chosen subjects or time duration?
  • In Satellite Coaching students still have to travel to a center to attend the class at a fixed date and time. So it’s very inflexible and doesn’t give you opportunity to attend missed classes or repeat lectures. Thus Satellite Coaching is very inconvenient for working and even non-working students who are pursuing other studies alongside.
    Besides, for those students (boys or girls) who can’t travel to other cities for coaching or homemakers (housewife) who have to look after their families, Satellite Coaching is an impractical option.
    In addition, the coaching institute passes on all the costs of expensive real estate, utility bills and maintenance charges etc. to you. They also advertise heavily, cost of which is passed on to students. Hence overall fees of such coaching institutes remains high.
    And above all, Satellite learning is mostly one-way teaching with very little scope of personal attention from the faculties and provides limited opportunity to interact with faculties whose sole priority is to complete the portion within the stipulated time. This leaves with very little time to give feedback, guidance to individual student or solve doubts.
    Since Online Coaching is of recent origin comparatively, Satellite Coaching flourished in absence of a viable alternative, in spite of all its drawbacks.
    But now, students have a better option. In fact, Online Coaching is flexible, convenient, anywhere, anytime and as many times learning. At the same time it is effective and reasonably priced too
    GOLS Online coaching is much beyond Online Coaching offered by any other players. It offers multi-featured, personalised teaching with rigorous academic support to students.

  • Free study material is not structured in a way that you need to study for a difficult exam like CS. Also, a lot of the material is not updated with the changes as required by the exam, and hence can misguide you. So, we recommend you to be very careful while referring to such material.
    YES. The coaching is delivered by using Internet. If you don’t have live internet connection or slow internet connection, we also provide offline content (in Pen drive/CD/DVD - compatible on windows operating system only) covering the entire syllabus so that you can study without any inconvenience.
