There are no combined degree programs with IAS coaching at Vision IAS Academy in Hyderabad. This is a specialized coaching center entirely dedicated to UPSC Civil Services Examination (CSE) preparation. Along with test series and interview training, their programs cover core courses for General Studies (GS), the Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT), and several optional topics. Aimed at UPSC test candidates, these programs are meant to offer thorough coaching.

Other schools in Hyderabad provide courses for students looking for an integrated solution that combines IAS coaching with college degrees. For example, Ignite IAS offers a B.A. degree along with IAS Coaching in a 3 year integrated course. Students using this program are meant to prepare for the UPSC tests while also working on their degrees. It offers an organized curriculum in line with the needs of the civil services examination.

La Excellence also provides a 3-year "IAS + Graduation" course, combining level studies with intensive IAS coaching. Balancing education and exam preparation, this program seeks to get students ready for the UPSC tests in concert with their coursework.

Students who want to start their UPSC study early in their academic career will find these combined courses really helpful. Their organized surroundings let pupils concentrate on their subjects and IAS training at once, hence perhaps lessening the time and work needed to pass the UPSC tests.

From my own experience, I can assure you that Pragnya IAS Academy offers a three-year integrated program including a degree course and thorough IAS coaching since I have only now started a similar course. Students are meant to use this program to assist them strike a balance between civil service preparation and their academic work. Furthermore, Pragnya IAS Academy provides a 5-year integrated program combining intermediate studies with IAS coaching for pupils who have already passed their 10th grade. From an early age, this program seeks to establish a solid basis for preparation for civil services. Over 15 years, more than 250 students have passed UPSC tests from the academy, which is noted for its good success rate. One of the best in India, it also has a 25% pass rate among the Prelims class candidates on their first try.

Some programs that students considering such might want to study are those offered at Pragnya IAS Academy, Ignite IAS, or La Excellence. They provide combined degree and IAS coaching courses customized to candidates' requirements.

Hello,

BOSSE (Board of Open Schooling and Skill Education), Sikkim is not recognised by most defence recruitment boards like NDA (National Defence Academy). For NDA, the qualification must be from a recognised board like CBSE, ICSE, or any state board recognised by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) and Ministry of Education .

As of now, there is no confirmed proof that someone from BOSSE board has cleared SSB and completed all document verification. Even if someone attended SSB, they might face issues at the final document stage if the board is not recognised.

So, it is better to choose a board that is surely accepted by UPSC and defence forces to avoid problems later.

Hope it helps !

Hello there,

Here’s a simple strategy to prepare for UGC NET in Social Work:

1. Know the syllabus : Cover both Paper 1 (teaching & research aptitude) and Paper 2 (Social Work topics like theories, methods, policies, etc.).
   
   

2. Use standard books : Refer to authors like U. Ghai, Sanjay Bhattacharya, and IGNOU materials for Paper 2.
   
   

3. Make short notes : Summarize each topic for quick revision.

4. Practice MCQs : Solve previous years' papers and mock tests regularly.

5. Revise often : Set a revision schedule weekly to retain concepts.

6. Follow current affairs : Focus on social policies, government schemes, and recent developments in social work.

Stay consistent with 4–5 hours of study daily, and focus on understanding rather than memorizing.

To become an IAS officer, you must clear the Civil Services Examination (CSE) conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), and then undergo training at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA). While any bachelor's degree is acceptable, choosing a degree that aligns with the UPSC syllabus, particularly in humanities and social sciences, can be advantageous.

UPSC Civil Services Examination (CSE):

This is the primary exam for becoming an IAS officer, involving three stages: Preliminary, Main, and Personality Test (Interview).

Any Bachelor's Degree:

A graduate degree from a recognized university is the basic requirement to be eligible for the CSE.

Beneficial Degrees:

Degrees in humanities and social sciences, such as Bachelor of Arts (BA), can be helpful due to the syllabus overlap with subjects like History, Political Science, Sociology, and Economics.

Optional Subject:

You can choose an optional subject in the Mains exam, and a BA degree can provide a wide range of options.

Hope it helps!!

Hello!
IRAS (Indian Railway Accounts Service) officers can be posted in both cities and rural areas since Indian Railways has offices and operations nationwide. They typically work in divisional offices, zonal offices, workshops, and production units. Transfers do happen but are usually not very frequent and depend on government policies and organizational needs.

Hope this helps!
