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.
Our experience in guiding thousands of UPSC CSE 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. This approach enables students to identify mistakes quickly as they practice and improve the quality and speed of their answer writing and solving multiple-choice questions.
Our entire strategy for the IPM TEST SERIES is driven by the unique EBS strategy.
What is the EBS Strategy?
- EBS (Essential, Breakthrough & Simulation) Approach:
- ESSENTIAL approach: emphasizes on building the basics
- BREAKTHROUGH approach: tests the ability to link facts and concepts with Current Affairs.
- SIMULATION approach: tests aspirants in an exam like environment to help them consolidate and finally put to test the effectiveness of their preparation. Taking tests regularly will ensure that it becomes a part of your routine, preparing you to perform well in every test without the usual accompanying jitters
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.

Subject Focus by Weightage : Our first round prioritizes subjects based on their weightage in the exam. We start with Polity, Economy, Modern India, Geography, Environment, and Science and Technology, followed by the remaining subjects. |
 |
Incremental Improvement : We understand that both freshers and veterans find it challenging to tackle full-length subjects and tests right away, leading to procrastination. To address this, we start with Mini-tests and gradually move to Full-Length Tests (FLTs) for each subject, helping you build confidence and comfortably complete the syllabus. |
 |
Group Mentorship for students writing on the scheduled date : You all may have many questions about the subject and your performance, especially in the beginning. To clarify all your doubts and to keep you disciplined and motivated, we offer group mentorship sessions in Bengaluru and Delhi from 4 pm – 5 pm for those taking the mains tests on the scheduled date. |
 |
LIVE Test Discussions for FLTs in the Essential Round: After completing a set of tests on a subject, we’ll hold live discussions. This ensures you can clarify doubts and achieve a sense of completion for each subject. |
 |
Regular Follow-ups by mentors : We have realized, students need a nudge.It is only that small push from our end that can make huge difference in aspirants’ discipline and progress. |
