“Achievers are not Kites which require push of winds; Achievers are birds who believe in their wings.”
In the 6th year of IASbaba’s journey, we take immense pride in the poster boy of IASbaba- the Integrated Learning Programme (ILP), not for its high popularity or success rates but for the fact that ILP is immune to crises and exigencies. We are happy that we designed ILP in a manner that neither did it necessitate brick and mortar classrooms nor did it require the students to come out of the comfort of their homes. A laptop/ mobile/ tablet and an internet connection are what you need to begin the journey of learning. What makes ILP unique is its organic design and implementation. One feels directly connected with the process. The modules talk to you, the tests tease you and the assessments make you improve. Each year, we add new features to ILP to make it more effective. You can expect many new and innovative features in this year’s ILP as well. Friends! A dose of ILP will help you in getting immune to the many challenges that UPSC will pose next year. Therefore, with great pride and satisfaction, we announce Integrated Learning Programme (ILP)- 2021.
We have been telling the students time and again not to depend merely on the last minute tools, some compilations or series (which UPSC tracks) and blindly trust them and finally end up wasting a precious year. Aspirants fail to realise that it is not the last minute miracle but consistent effort throughout the journey. It is the process that is important. It is the process that is sustainable. And yes ILP is that!!
In the last four years, ILP has been bang on target with a hit ratio of more than 65%, a figure remarkably high keeping in mind the unpredictable nature of UPSC. With a knack of getting it right ILP has become a reliable name:
Innovation has become synonymous with IASbaba. It’s become habitual. Every year we want to give something new to the students. Give them a Surprise!
So this year, going with our habitual nature and standing true to our tagline ‘One Stop Destination for UPSC/IAS Preparation’, we have come up with 3 Paradigms of our ONLINE ILP Program.
And all these models are available BOTH in ENGLISH and HINDI (हिंदी). That’s another Surprise 🙂
ILP 2021 has been designed considering “WORKING PROFESSIONALS” as well.

Please read -> IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FOR ILP 2021 on how this course is structured and how to use ILP Program effectively.
For Example:
We have simplified the VAN covering all important aspects so that it can be your ‘One Stop Source for UPSC Preparation’.
We understand that covering current affairs is going to be a real challenge for many aspirants. Given the huge sources to refer to, n’ number of materials flooded in the market, most of the times 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 compendium of current affairs.
Prelimspedia gets updated on a daily basis. You will never be required to do the drudgery of note making for current affairs. The only thing required of you is to log into your ILP account every morning and go through the precise and crisp current affairs notes updated daily on Babapedia! Isn’t that awesome?
Mainspedia (Mains Datahub) – One of its kind platform (another Unique feature of ILP) for Mains Answer Writing Skills; best data organisation and usage for examination. This is updated on weekly basis. It is arranged and organized into various subtopics for all the contemporary aspects related to Paper 1, 2, 3 and 4. Under each topic, various subsections will be created and it will be updated regularly for you to have the best material/data at one place. You can keep making your own notes taking inputs from the data updated in Mainspedia on a regular basis. Mainspedia will have inputs from all possible contemporary issues and from all possible resources like Newspapers (The Hindu, Indian Express, Economics Times), PIB, PRS, RSTV, and important Government Websites.

Please Note: You will get unlimited complimentary access to Current Affairs content since the year 2016-2020. Babapedia is categorized Day-wise, Month-wise and Subject-wise, to make it very user-friendly and easily accessible!
52 GS (Paper -1) TESTS and 10 CSAT (Paper -2) TESTS
Mains Mock Tests with detailed Synopsis: What makes ILP even more special is the integration of mains mocks. This will help you to learn the art of answer writing from day one. With the VAN and mains mocks with a detailed synopsis, your mains preparation will always be on track.
In order for you to have a daily answer writing practice, a question will be posted every day on the ILP platform. You can write an answer on paper and upload its picture on the platform so that peer review can take place and you can improve. On the tenth day, the compiled question paper and detailed synopsis will be posted so that you can self-evaluate and learn.
Please Note: Mains Answers will NOT be evaluated. Only Synopsis/Model Answer will be provided. We have planned to keep Mains Evaluation in Package Format. You have to pay extra to get Mains Answers Evaluated. Its details will be announced once the programme start.
It also includes a Buddy-System’ wherein students having similar Optional-subjects, College or background can form groups and have discussions (peer-learning)! This will not only help you in forming a good peer-group/study-circle but also in motivating each other to achieve your goals. This is a boon! Especially for students who are studying at home, working professionals who are away from the UPSC-preparation hubs’ so that you can keep in touch with your friends, stay motivated, be informed and accountable at the same time.
UPSC Preparation is a long journey indeed, close to 2 years until your results are announced. And you will realise why we have introduced this buddy-system. It will have its own role to play by keeping your spirits high throughout this wonderful journey!
IMPORTANT NOTE:
It includes All the Features of ILP Basic. Additionally it consists of Video Classes.
We know there is no additional material required for one’s preparation after going through VAN and Babapedia. But still, many students often come to us asking how to study? How is studying for prelims different from studying for mains? How is studying history different from studying polity? And so on. We know these are common doubts that every student has.
In order to help such candidates, we are introducing ILP+. It is video-based programme which includes all features of ILP Basic and supplements them with the following video classes
The Video Classes include-
Features in detail:
Strategy Classes (5 Classes): One session for every subject wherein the general trends, previous year’s questions and approach to the subject shall be discussed. The aim of these classes is to make you aware of general mistakes you do and how you can overcome them in every subject. It sets the tone of preparation for the subject.
Approach Classes (15 Classes): Every module of ILP shall be accompanied by approach classes for the subjects in the module. The aim of these classes shall be to guide you on how to study each topic, important pointers from each topic, how to utilise VAN to supplement them.

These classes aim to effectively integrate Current Affairs into your prelims and mains preparation.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The Program Structure: It has been divided into modules which are further divided into subject wise blocks.
This Part includes Module 1 – 4 that covers the basic topics of Prelims and mains. In the first four modules the entire syllabus for Prelims will be covered with related topics of mains syllabus so that integrated preparation of mains and prelims can be done. This section will build the knowledge right from the basics to the optimum level which is required for the exam.
This includes Module – 5 which is a revision module. In this module we will focus on revision and MAINS Exclusive syllabus. This will help you to consolidate your subject knowledge in a manner that you will retain it for a longer period. For every subject you will get a comprehensive revision test after each block. This module will help you in revision and recollection which is very important to increase your accuracy in Prelims along with covering MAINS specific topics.
Every structure needs some special items for decoration and so does your preparation. Part three includes Module – 6. There are some specific topics which are very important from a preparation point of view. These include Budget and Survey, Government Schemes, Important locations that have been in news etc. These individual topics will be covered in this part.
This part includes your Module – 7 where you will be prepared for the final battle with multiple Full Mocks. This will provide you with very good practice and will be helpful in building your confidence.
Each block is for 10 days. For example, Polity will run for 10 consecutive days – 8 Days for covering the topics, 9th day for revision and every tenth day there will be a Prelims test so that you can check your preparation level.
Every tenth day a Mains mock test will be posted based on the topics covered in the mains sections. In order for you to have daily answer writing practice, a question will be posted everyday on the ILP platform. You can write an answer on paper and upload its picture on the platform so that peer review can take place and you can improve. On the tenth day, the compiled question paper and detailed synopsis will be posted so that you can self evaluate and learn.
For current affairs Babapedia will be updated daily. All the students need to cover daily topics from Prelimspedia for prelims and Mainspedia will be updated weekly for mains related current affairs. Apart from this, it is expected that all candidates must go through Daily Current Affairs from the website(www.iasbaba.com). Every 15th day there will be a Current Affairs test.
The daily targets that are mentioned in the plan are put considering the learning capacity of students in a day. Sufficient time is given for revision and the test.
A MODEL DAILY TIMETABLE (For Working Professionals & Non-Working Students) is given below. Based on your daily sleeping time, you can adjust the slots of the time table.
This is just for your reference – FOR NON-WORKING ASPIRANTS!
Time Slot | Daily Target |
8 am – 9 am | Daily routine/ Breakfast |
9 am – 10 am | Cursory Revision of previous day |
10 am – 1 pm | Static topics of prelims (Daily target) |
1 pm – 2:30 pm | Lunch Break |
2:30 pm – 5:30 pm | Current Affairs |
5:30 pm – 6 pm | Tea break / Light snacks |
6 pm – 9 pm | GS mains static / optional |
9 – 10 pm | Dinner |
10 pm – 12 am | Light reading, you can watch any series like Samvidhan etc. or Anything of your choice. |
12 am – 8 am | Sleep |
In the above time table, there is a lot of time given for breaks. It is important that you take frequent breaks before you start a new topic. This will keep you efficient and you won’t feel overburdened. Preparation for Civil services examination is simple. People unnecessarily make it more complicated by listening to X, Y, Z people who believe that you need to study 17 – 18 hour a day in order to qualify. Preparation for this exam is enjoyable as you keep learning new things as well as discover and shape new personalities for yourself. Just be sincere and honest and you’ll sail through smoothly.
The daily plan given above is for aspirants who are not working and preparing full time.
However, the plan is for working professionals as well. Working professionals need to understand that they are running in a race which does not differentiate between the candidates. They will have to run faster and cover more distance in the time that they have got. Working professionals can follow the following timetable –
You can use your travel time and break time to complete current affairs and daily current affairs quiz. Post work, you need to invest at least 3-4 hours on your static/core subjects. Weekends (Saturday, Sunday’s) can be used for your Optionals along with revising core subjects and current affairs.
During the weekends, you can follow the same time table as designed for non-working aspirants. Basically you can divide it into 3 slots wherein you can cover core subjects/topics which you were not able to cover during the weekdays, optional and current affairs.
You need to keep your sources limited so that you can finish the syllabus once in the given time span. Also, take the target for 10 days, rather than on a daily basis.
The plan that we have made is optimum, not more nor less. So don’t panic when others in the market say that you are not reading bulky books. It is the knowledge that counts and not the book from where you are getting it. Also, you need to understand that UPSC has never mentioned the sources, so the belief that UPSC will be asking questions from some specific books is a farce. Only hard work doesn’t count, you have to do that hard work smartly to beat others.
NOTE- Below is just a sample. ILP-2021 will contain a much better and comprehensive Value Add Notes (VAN). Our VAN and few standard sources will be more than enough for the qualitative preparation one needs in this journey.
Considering the Comprehensive features, New highlights, Support and Quality of the Programme, we have kept the pricing to as minimum as possible.
The pricing remains the SAME, both for English & Hindi (हिंदी) Medium!
Please Note: ILP Program in HINDI (हिंदी) will start from 30th July, 2020 (i.e, 15 days after ILP in ENGLISH).
Price: Rs.20,000 + 18 % (GST) = Rs.23,600/-
