About the Civil Service Foundation programme
The Civil Services Examination (CSE), conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), recruits candidates for the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS) and other prestigious services. It is held annually in stages — a preliminary screening exam (General Studies and CSAT), the main written exam (including Essay, General Studies and optional subject papers) and a personality test.
Our Civil Service Foundation course covers the subjects and topics in the exam, taught by experienced instructors, with practice tests to build knowledge, analytical thinking and answer-writing skills early.
What you'll learn
- General Studies foundations: history, polity, geography, economy and current affairs
