Dr. Susijit SahooChairman and Managing Director

Welcome to Academy for Civil Services- Eastern India’s premier coaching Institution for Civil Services. Firstly, I would like to congratulate you on your decision to pursue Civil Services as your career. The civil services by quality of its knowledge, experience and understanding of public affairs play an instrumental role in policy making and have great responsibility to implement these policies for the welfare of society and enhancement of nation. The civil service, in fact, forms the backbone of the whole administrative set-up in our democratic country. It is not another lucrative job but an opportunity to serve our great nation by bringing out the best in you.

The examination is one of the most prestigious examinations which draws the attention of thousands of students every year and getting through the examination is coveted and most cherished dream of many. Every year lakhs of candidates appear in the CSE, however, only a few hundreds make it to the final list. The reason behind this is that CSE, through its various stages and rigorous screening process tests the suitability of the candidate for the top-ranking positions in Indian bureaucracy. Unlike any other exam, this examination's syllabus is vast, so candidates are supposed to enhance their knowledge and develop administrative traits. The syllabus for preliminary exam contains subjects from almost all the fields. Parallel to this, leadership qualities, decision-making abilities, rational and logical thinking, balance of judgment and moral integrity are some of the many traits that the candidates must possess to ace the examination.

These traits and qualities cannot be acquired overnight and a candidate must inculcate them through a rigorous training process. After years of research, analysis and relentless efforts the Institute has developed a holistic, all-encompassing course structure and teaching methodology that synchronizes with the demands of the current pattern of UPSC CSE examination.

Earlier, Delhi was the only one stop solution for preparing for CSE. I am delighted to share with you that APTI PLUS Academy for Civil Services is the first Institute to buck the trend. The able guidance of our distinguished faculty members from Delhi and our meticulously designed course has helped thousands of candidates in realizing the dream of joining the most reputed services in the country. From 2014-2019 we had 189+ selections in UPSC CSE & we have the unprecedented success of 100+ selections in last two years of UPSC CSE 2021 & 2020. This successfully results rightly reinstated the position of

Academy for Civil Services Pvt. Ltd as the Best Coaching Institution in Eastern India. It has set a new benchmark by producing the highest number of IAS, IPS, IFS & IRS officers from Eastern India.

Here, I would like to accentuate that as Civil Servants you will have the opportunity to change millions of lives everyday. India is a great country with vast resources and unmatchable diversity. However, lopsided development has pushed the poverty stricken, downtrodden and marginalized sections of the society to the edge thereby widening the gap between the developed and the underdeveloped world.

I would like to reiterate that the core values of Determination, Honesty, Authenticity, Integrity, Devotion, Humanism, Holistic Learning, Social Ethics, and concern for society & environment are all closely interwoven into the fiber of our academic programs. I urge you to realize your potential by making the best use of the transformative education imparted by our premier Institute and join the Civil Services with utmost sincerity, integrity and conviction to serve the people of India and bridge the gulf between the two unequal worlds.

With the aim to transform each one of you into able administrators, I welcome you to the Institute, where your commitment will be integrated with our years of experience to guide you in realizing your aspirations.

Wish you all the best in your future endeavors!

The Right Approach to CSE

Our esteemed mentors will guide you in this process of learning and will help you in analyzing topics comprehensively and holistically.

Perhaps, the most crucial part of your preparation is developing the art of answer writing. Ability to articulate

your thoughts, arguments and ideas in the form of well-structured answers within the prescribed word limit can be a challenging task.

It requires a lot of practice, evaluation and proper guidance to enhance this skill of answer writing. Our Answer Writing Development

program makes this uphill task easier as in this program, individual attention and feedback to each and every aspirant is provided by

our experts.

Answer Writing Skills:

One can clear the examination in one shot. However, a right approach and

systematic preparation are the pre-requisites to do so!

Reading skills: It is important to know “what to read” but even more important

to know “what not to read” as the syllabus is vast. Developing reading skills

under the guidance of our experienced faculty members will not only increase

your efficiency but will also save your precious time.

Understanding skills: Clarity of concepts, ability to read between the lines and development of right perspective on different issues that come up in the Newspapers and other Current Affairs Resources such as Editorials/ Articles are the most important skills that need to be inculcated before appearing for this examination .

The Right Strategy For Effective Learning

Know your syllabus thoroughly. Before you start with your preparation for CSE, read the syllabus many a times to comprehend the demand of the examination.

Your own strategy is the right strategy. Reading DD Basu for Polity despite of being comfortable with Lakshmikant only because a topper had followed DD Basu is not a good idea!

Reading NCERT text-books thoroughly is of utmost importance to crack this examination.

A complicated long book list and multiple sources can be confusing and misleading as we know that it is absolutely not possible to retain everything in the encyclopedia. The key is revision. Multiple revisions of the same standard book instead of following hundreds of books is important as CSE gives more weightage to conceptual clarity than factual information.

Follow one standard Newspaper and one News Channel on a regular basis. Preferably –The Hindu & Rajya Sabha TV. Compliment it with study materials provided by the Institute on its online platform IASGYAN. Daily news and editorial analysis, Gist of RSTV discussions are uploaded regularly on IASGYAN.

Join a standard Test Series. (Test Series based on each and every standard book and Current Affairs is uploaded on IASGYAN keeping the Prelims and Main examination in focus). Mock tests help a lot to gauge the level of preparation and improve the performance accordingly.

Follow IAS GYAN, our online platform to boost your preparation.

2022-23


I found current affairs of IASGYAN to be very holistic. One get current affairs material at one place. The

quality of the tests is be upto the mark. Mock Interview of were very good, by sitting in the

confines of four rooms I got exposure to a variety of Experts in different arenas.
