The Team comprises of passionate and like-minded individuals, these highly accomplished and respected Civil Servants resigned from service to embark on a mission to teach and mentor UPSC aspirants and in the process nurture them to create the next generation of Civil Servants. What sets apart Officers IAS Academy from the numerous coaching institutes that have proliferated is the academic excellence that is fostered through a core faculty who have not only cleared all stages of the examination (Prelims, Mains and Interview), but have gone on to serve this nation with distinction- “Teachers who are achievers themselves”. This is backed by a highly relevant pedagogy, rigorous coaching schedule, a rhythm of preparation, efficient R&D, evaluation and feedback, and personal mentoring. Our teaching methods are rooted in certain time tested principles, which lead students to understand the basics and encourage them to question the facts and concepts, rather than just accepting them blindly. Our effort is not only to provide them with a roadmap to their dream of entering the Civil Services, but continuously supporting them along this marathon journey, tracking individual progress and making course corrections. At Officers IAS Academy, our ultimate endeavour is to emulate the Gurukul System where the students are trained by the Gurus to achieve what the Gurus have themselves achieved. is 6 Our guiding purpose is "Forging Exceptional Civil Servants for a better tomorrow".
