SSC Coaching Fees in India: What ₹1,699 to ₹22,000 Buys

As of 9 October 2026, four providers' own price pages show SSC coaching fees from ₹1,699 to ₹22,000. The lowest is a special-offer online batch from PW. The ₹22,000 top price is a classroom course for the CGL exam at Sreedhar's CCE. Classroom or mixed-mode courses run from ₹9,640 to ₹22,000.

Each exam is separate. CGL is Combined Graduate Level, CHSL is Combined Higher Secondary Level, MTS is Multi-Tasking Staff, CPO is Central Police Organisation and GD Constable is General Duty Constable.

All prices were checked on 9 October 2026 and can change. PW shows ₹1,699 as a special-offer price, so the figure may differ when you read this. Sreedhar's own summary table and its per-exam lists differ (its summary shows ₹8,999 to ₹22,000 online and ₹14,000 to ₹20,000 in the classroom). The table uses the per-exam lists, which for CGL are ₹9,999 to ₹18,000 online and ₹14,000 to ₹22,000 in the classroom.

Our working: the lowest price is ₹1,699 and the highest is ₹22,000, and 22,000 ÷ 1,699 is about 13. The cheapest classroom or mixed-mode price (₹9,640) is more than double the dearest PW batch (₹4,499). Every figure is the provider's own price, so the table shows what each seller asks, not what students pay after discounts.

Price follows what is bundled, not mode alone. Online courses run from ₹1,699 (PW) to ₹18,000 (Sreedhar's CCE), so online can be the cheapest or close to the dearest. What changes the price is live hours, printed books, doubt time, batch size and how long you keep access.

Three comparisons from the table show what a rupee buys:

• Books. PW's PRO tier costs ₹1,500 more than Infinity (₹4,499 minus ₹2,999) and adds a physical set of 11 books.
• Duration. Scholars charges ₹9,640 for 4 months and ₹15,360 for 6 months. That is ₹2,410 and ₹2,560 a month. The longer course adds one-on-one doubt sessions and performance analysis, so it is worth the extra only if you will use them.
• Tests. Fee divided by tests listed gives about ₹30 per test for SAFAR Infinity (100 tests), about ₹34 for PW Surya (50) and about ₹45 for SAFAR PRO. This is our working. The tests include mini mocks, so full-length mocks cost more each.

Ignore the crossed-out price. PW shows ₹3,999, ₹7,499 and ₹13,499 against selling prices of ₹1,699, ₹2,999 and ₹4,499. The crossed-out figure is a list price (the MRP, or maximum retail price), not what anyone pays, so compare selling prices only.

A quoted fee can leave out GST and registration charges, and those are often outside any refund. Sreedhar's CCE states that its fees are subject to applicable GST. For refunds it counts only the course-fee portion, spread over the 100 working days, and treats registration fee and GST as generally non-refundable.

Here is the arithmetic, as our illustration rather than any provider's figure. Assume 18% GST (read the rate on your invoice):

• ₹16,000 × 0.18 = ₹2,880 in tax.
• ₹16,000 + ₹2,880 = ₹18,880 payable.
• A ₹17,500 all-inclusive quote is therefore cheaper than a ₹16,000 quote with GST added.

The fee also does not cover living near a centre. If you would move to study offline, add rent, food and travel before comparing with an online batch. Our coaching fee comparison calculator looks beyond the tuition quote when you line institutes up. How refunds and exit terms work is explained in how to check a coaching refund policy.

Ask each institute for the same eight answers in writing, then test each against the pass line below. A quote that fails the first check cannot be compared at all, so stop there and ask again.

Then fill in three lines for each institute:

• True cost = fee + GST + registration + anything sold separately.
• Cost per test = true cost ÷ number of tests.
• Cost per month = true cost ÷ months of access.

Sit in a demo class before paying wherever one is offered. Our guide to using evidence checks before choosing a coaching institute lists further checks to run before you hand over a fee.

Match the course to how you study, not to the lowest figure. This is our recommendation, built from the prices above.

Choose the city and language first, because they decide which providers are open to you. Sreedhar's CCE teaches in Telugu and English at centres in four states, PW teaches online in Hinglish and IBT is in Mukherjee Nagar, Delhi. If you are comparing Delhi options, see coaching institutes in Delhi, compared by exam and area.

Coaching fees are separate from the exam's own application fee. The Staff Selection Commission's CGL examination notice, uploaded on 21 May 2026, sets that fee at ₹100 and lists the groups exempt from paying it.

We list online, classroom and hybrid SSC coaching institutes. You can filter them by exam, city, study mode and verification status, and compare them without paying us anything. We do not teach or take course payments, so the fee you pay is always agreed directly with the institute.

A Verified badge means the institute shared its details with us and we verified them. It is not a promise of results. Reviews collected on our platform appear directly, and reviews from third-party sources are listed separately.

When you enquire, send the eight checks above. Fees, batches, faculty, duration and refund terms are confirmed with the institute. Use the online coaching directory and its SSC filter to shortlist, then ask each institute for a written quote before you decide. Compare SSC coaching institutes on Online Coaching 4u.
