A Small Note by IASbaba

IASbaba takes pride in the fact that we revolutionised the paradigm of civil services preparation by introducing the online Integrated Learning Programme (ILP)- our flagship online initiative that is smart, accessible, affordable and highly effective. In the three years of ILP, we have become an integral part of numerous success stories. ILP was launched with a vision to enable a candidate sitting in the remotest corner of the country to have a shot at Rank 1 in the civil services examination. With ILP, an internet connection, an electronic data device and the determination to work hard are what one needs to taste success in UPSC. We are delighted that we have been able to positively transform the ecosystem of civil services preparation with ILP. But what makes ILP so special? How is it different from other initiatives? How does it increase your chances in civil services examination? Well the answer is simple! ILP acts as your long time partner in preparation, ever ready and capable to help you at each stage of your preparation- day by day, hour by hour. It reduces your efforts, micro manages your time in the most productive way and allocates your attention in a well defined priority. It makes you preparation planned, seamless and enjoyable!

“ILP is an effort towards assisting an aspirant sitting at the remotest part of the country to crack UPSC with a single digit rank”
