let me share my experience with dse and then you can get an idea. I passed out from an iit in 2012 and took to the course of civil services. had appeared for interviews but couldnt make it in 2012/2013. the biggest debacle was 2014 mains exam where i didnt find my roll number in the list. it was on 12th april to be precise. because of peer pressure, with batchmates travelling across the world, doing amazing stuff, i had to decide to get a formalised backup and then dse was one option in front of me. gathered all the courage and wisdom, started preparing for the entrance with no detailed exposure to the syllabus of the entrance in 3rd week of april. did some past years papers where this forum was of great help. there are some video tutorials which helped me in econometrics as reading gujrati was a bit boring. i had been working as well so could spend 3-4 hrs a day on prep. finally wrote the exam, and there was this one question of probability which somehow i wasnt able to solve. when the result came, i scored 38 marks just 2 short of making it which could have been possible had that question clicked (mainly because it was 0.1 or 0.01 percent which we took as 0.1 or 0.01 instead of dividing it by 100). but that's okay for now. i moved to singapore a few days later and as i see it, 2-3 months of rigorous prep is sufficient even without any coaching. religious practice of varian workbook, reading macro std books, gujrati i would prefer those lectures any day, and brushing up maths fundamentals would help you sail through the exam.
