IASbaba's Courses, Important Updates
Success is a combination of – “Ideas, Planning, Strategy, Quality Approach and Guidance” If you miss any of these elements, success will be a far-fetched dream!
Let’s talk a bit about the thing we are all chasing - SUCCESS
What is Success?
Success is a combination of – Ideas + Planning + Strategy + Quality + Approach + Guidance…
When all of the above conditions are met, we experience what we all say with love ‘achieving one’s dreams’.
This is what IASbaba stands for.
While the entire coaching ecosystem revolves around classes and test series, the team at IASbaba understood one key issue – not everyone gets an equal chance in life. This is despite being talented as well as immensely knowledgeable in their respective fields.
Connect to Conquer (C2C) is an intensive programme designed only for sincere and serious candidates. It is programme focused on consistency and dedication.
It primarily focuses on Daily Tests (Prelims & Mains) according to the Detailed Micro-Plan, Daily Offline Test Discussion.
This is an Exclusive Initiative for Delhi
There is a lot of confusion, which is leading to the herd of choosing courses where the norm of the batch size is around 400. This doesn’t help students and aspirants as there is hardly any interaction with the faculties and the mentorship guidance is almost nil and Personalized Mentorship is nowhere to be seen.
C2C is a sincere attempt to tackle these problems and help aspirants to improve every single day and move closer towards realising their UPSC Dream.
C2C gives you a chance to connect with the best mentors at IASbaba and get your skills monitored, honed and upgraded to let you secure a place in the final list. The USP of this initiative is the connect that you get to establish with your mentor. Believe us, it helps a lot. The mentor is your friend, philosopher and guide in this process. You will enjoy the process even as you devote your maximum energy and time to keep pace with the course plan.
