IASBABA’S INTEGRATED LEARNING PROGRAMME (ILP) ONLINE-2021 – With New Paradigms and Surprising Features – BOTH in ENGLISH and HINDI (हिंदी) – ADMISSIONS OPEN!!

ILP 2021 – A beacon of light in the Darkest of times!!!

“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!!

Hitting the bull’s eye year after year: IASbaba’s journey so far

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: Achievements Ranks HIt Ratio IASbaba

Hear from the Topper’s – the instrumental role that ILP played in their Success.

  • It is crisp, so more information can be squeezed in a small space.
  • You wouldn’t require bulky notes before the exam to revise.

In ILP plan, once a sufficient portion of each subject is covered, we will start your essay preparation. Guidelines will be provided to you on how to write an essay, and then mock essays will be given for practice. UPSC asks for two types of topics – a static/ factual topic and a philosophical topic. Approach for both is different and will be provided to you as part of the Program.

IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FOR ILP 2021

The Program Structure: It has been divided into modules which are further divided into subject wise blocks. Part 1 - Foundation 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. Part 2 - Superstructure 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. Part 3 - Decorations 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. Part 4 - Final Touches - Art of Being Prepared! 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. How to Use the Plan Effectively? MODEL TIME TABLE - for Non Working Students & Working Professionals 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.

SAMPLE DOCUMENTS

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.

Now coming to the most obvious question –

Now that I have enrolled (paid) for the ILP Programme, what should I do, since the programme starts only on 1st July, 2020?

Firstly, there are two things you need to have trust on
  • On Yourself – that you will crack this exam in this attempt.
  • On the materials or the program that you have enrolled to (IASbaba’s ILP Program, the course plan/schedule). If you want to crack this exam, you need to blindly follow the plan. Trust us! We will be giving our best possible support from our end and we would expect the same 100% effort from your side. Success will be yours!
We would answer the question in 3 Parts – General Planning, Current Affairs and Optional.
General Planning:
    • Go through the schedule and make sure you have the books mentioned in the course plan. We have mentioned only 2 Sources for every Subject – Standard Books / NCERT or VAN. IASbaba’s VAN will be provided as per the schedule once the programme starts.
    • Then, go through the below link-

Optional:

On an Ending Note:

ILP will prove to be a game changer provided you are honest and sincere with the guidelines to follow it.
The launch of ILP every year is rejoiced by the Civil Services Aspirants across India.  The reach of ILP and its success has crossed the boundaries of coaching. More than anyone else, the aspirants residing in the remotest parts of the country now feel that they have a chance to break into the top 10 rank bracket. IASbaba feels proud to have played a part in building this confidence. When you join our ILP-2021 programme, you will have huge expectations on us. On the similar lines, we too have a few expectations from your end like Complete Dedication, Consistency, Courage to “walk that extra mile”, Faith in our program, and a constant quest to be better than your previous self. There is no substitute for it! The biggest hurdle is to get over the mental block that – ‘I can do it’. Since you have decided to start your preparation, we congratulate you for showing faith in yourself. We can assure you that we will provide all sorts of help and motivation to you but it is you who have to run and win this race. We are the ship and you are the sailor.  We will make sure that the ship is strongly built to sail you through all the up’s and down’s in the journey. But finally it is YOU, the sailor who has to manoeuvre and reach your destination! ILP is EMPOWERMENT We hope that this year too, ILP plays an even better role in the success of aspirants.
So what are you waiting for? Come, join us and let us make you write your success story! We reiterate our AIM –

“To help an aspirant preparing in the remotest part of the country to secure Rank 1”
