Dear student,

Welcome to Insights IAS – an institute that has been at the forefront of UPSC Civil Services Preparation since its inception, pioneering online learning and several other offline initiatives. Today, we are thrilled to present to you our highly anticipated and all-new Revamped Integrated Prelims-cum-Mains Test Series (IPM ) for the UPSC CSE 2025 exam. This year, the IPM Test Series promises to be special.  We’ve incorporated numerous new features to align with the evolving patterns and trends of the UPSC CSE.

 

Our IPM Test Series has been utilized by toppers such as Kanika Goyal (AIR-9 2022), Yash Jaluka (AIR-4 2021) and Meera K (AIR-6 2021)  among several others.

Our experience in guiding thousands of aspirants has taught us that the integrated approach of preparation and practice has proven to be one of the most rational and practical approaches to date. The saying “Read to remember and Write to retain” holds true based on our experience of guiding several thousand aspirants. We have learnt that it’s essential for aspirants to not only read and learn from textbooks but also to analyze, understand, and apply the concepts learned in a structured format. This approach enables them to identify mistakes quickly as they practice and improve the quality and speed of their answer writing and solving multiple-choice questions.

 

The Core Philosophy of IPM program is to provide a SINGLE timetable that covers both the Prelims and Mains Syllabus in a holistic manner, enabling students to complete the syllabus part by part and be tested on it from the point of Prelims (MCQs) and Mains (Descriptive Answers) simultaneously.

 

Abraham Lincoln had said, “If I had five minutes to chop down a tree, I’d spend the first three sharpening my axe.”

Undoubtedly, every serious aspirant spends a lot of time fine-tuning their preparation but often fail to find a program that aids in sharpening their preparation (AXE) that has the potential to give them commensurate returns.

Our entire strategy for the IPM TEST SERIES is driven by the unique EBS strategy.

 

 

The IPM program with its methodology ensures:

• Inculcation of discipline and exhaustive preparation for both Prelims and Mains in a single go with a perfectly planned timetable to keep you focused, busy, and consistent throughout the year.
• Hassle-free preparation as whatever you read in the intervening period between two tests, the same portion will be tested from the perspective of both Prelims and Mains.
• Adoption of the success-guaranteed EBS Approach(Essential, Breakthrough & Simulation) to STEP-UP the difficulty level gradually, making you more competitive and ensuring that you inculcate the art of inter-disciplinary linkages in your question-solving and answer-writing skills in both Prelims & Mains.
