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!
When we asked Rank 58 – Divya Shakti, Rank 134 – Sam Varghese, Rank 169 – Ankita Mishra, Rank 189 – P K Siddharth Kumar and many more toppers from our Institute, they all said one thing – YES!
Let us first understand a fairly simple but most ignored concept of ‘Success’.
What is Success?
Success is a combination of – Ideas + Planning + Strategy + Quality + Approach + Guidance…
If you miss any of these elements, success will be a far-fetched dream!
But what happens when this combination is set right?
“A radical change in the established order”!
A Change Embarked upon by Team IASbaba!
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. Despite being talented, immensely knowledgeable.
And so Integrated Learning Programme – ILP was conceptualized – To reach the motto of IASbaba i.e., a person in the remotest corner of India can get a chance to achieve Rank – 1
Designed in a way that it respects the differences that may exist in terms of affordability, accessibility as well as time constraints, ILP is one POWER program that will power your dreams to Rank 1.
With more than 300 ranks in the last 6 years, ILP has become the most preferred choice of civil service aspirants.
“This thought itself is a radical shift from old times”.
What do we have in store for the UPSC Aspirant Community?
ILP as a product has several components, each designed meticulously by a team of experts to ensure that you receive the best content and guidance. It has a unique self-assessment paradigm integrated with the program that keeps you on your toes, always testing your commitment to the process and outcomes. That is what we call ‘smart’ in this context.
Let us be honest here: We hold a very strong belief –
And this ILP is even more special – because of all the qualitative upgradations that we have made! Yes, you heard it right! (Read on for the surprises)
IASbaba is known for its well-targeted content amongst all the noise and content terrorism that is going on with upcoming portals, YouTube and Telegram Channels. We have helped aspirants to clear Prelims with targeted initiatives like 60 Days Plan and Integrated Learning Program (ILP) every year.
We have supported thousands of candidates through ILP in the last 6-7 years. Each year we add many novel features to our offerings. This year also, we have introduced several new features to help you traverse the UPSC journey with ease and fun. As you go through the remaining write up, we expect you to keep the ‘smartness’ paradigm in mind. You will realise that each feature of ILP contributes towards this paradigm. Use it to your advantage and we are sure of your success.
We have been receiving many emails and calls to start a new batch of ILP – 2023, So, we are finally here with a new batch with a new schedule for the Integrated Learning Program (S- ILP) – 2023.

“Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.”
ILP-2023 does the planning for you in the most systematic and logical way. The plans are made to keep you on track as well on your toes. In the plan, you will get day-wise coverage of the syllabus, sources to refer and focus areas.
Detailed Micro- Plan – The detailed plan covers the Prelims & Mains Syllabus which will take care of your overall preparation in the form of daily targets. Each Module spans over 10 + days where at the end of the modules you’ll be taking a Prelims and Mains Test. The Daily Plan also includes sources to refer to. Current Affairs is also part of the planning so that both static and current issues are dealt with simultaneously.
Microplanning is the heart and soul of ILP-2023 that needs to be followed with utmost sincerity.
NCERT Coverage- ILP-2023 starts with a thorough coverage of NCERT’s relevant for UPSC Prelims and Mains. Before switching to standard sources and books, you would already have a thorough content for better understanding of subjects and also a starting point for your Mains Answer Writing.
Minimum Sources – The sources to be referred have been kept to the bare minimum. If you go through the plan, you will find that we have confined our sources to a maximum of 2 per subject (One being NCERT). It has been done to prevent a candidate from wasting their precious time in going through the repetitive and irrelevant sources available in the market. You’ll be following one reference book per subject and IASbaba’s Value Add Notes (VAN).
Revision – Due consideration has been given for Revision that will help to consolidate what you have learnt in a particular module. Since the process is long and intensive, the lack of revision can be fatal. Therefore, we have given adequate room for revision and consolidation.
ILP-2023 VANs are high-quality specialized reading materials to give you an edge over your competitors. VANs have been designed intelligently to give you both prelims and mains covering the most important sources like Standard Text Books, Government Documents and Reports, Ministry Websites, PIB, ARC Reports, Economic Survey, Budget Document etc. to make your understanding seamless and smooth. With our value-add notes (VAN), you will be able to declutter the complexity of UPSC syllabus.
The VANs shall cover the static as well as contemporary issues related to every single topic given in the syllabus including GS 1, GS 2, GS 3, GS 4 (Ethics). You need not look beyond sources other than the standard ones given in the plan and ILP-2023 VAN’s.
We have simplified the VAN covering all important aspects so that it can be your ‘One Stop Source for UPSC Preparation’.
For Example:
Covering current affairs is a big challenge for many aspirants. Most of the time students are confused about which sources to refer to? what to read? what not to read? to what depth to read?
Here comes Babapedia to your rescue. Babapedia is divided into Prelimspedia and Mainspedia for both your prelims and mains preparation. It is one of its kind compendiums of current affairs.
Prelimspedia gets updated on a daily basis. The only thing required is to log into your ILP account every day and go through the precise and crisp current affairs notes updated daily on Babapedia! Isn’t that awesome?
Mainspedia also gets updated on a daily basis. It is one of its kind initiatives where we declutter the most important editorials across national dailies to bring you relevant and ready ‘Introductions’, ‘Conclusions’, ‘facts’, ‘data’ in tabular format.
We will be providing the Mainspedia Articles in the Answer Writing Format (Introduction, Body, Conclusion).
Please Note: You will get unlimited complimentary access to Current Affairs content from 2016 onwards till mid May 2023. Babapedia is categorized Day-wise, Month-wise and Subject-wise, to make it very user-friendly and easily accessible!
IASbaba is known for its quality coverage and it is a testimony that we have been able to HIT the bull’s eye in Prelims and Mains both over the period of last 5-6 years. The closeness and exact repetition of Questions from our Tests needs no mention.
