Welcome to IAS STUDY POINT

Introduction
IAS STUDY POINT is a well-known Institute preparing candidates for the Civil Services Examination at all the three levels - Preliminary Test, Main Examination and interview. The Institute was founded in 2003 by Prabhu Nath Singh. Since its inception, the Institute is helping students enter into the Civil Services including I.A.S., I.F.S., I.P.S. and other Central Services. The institute is located near Garga Bridge, check post, Chas in the basement of Hotel Yamunavilla, which is situated on National Highway No. 23. The students at institute may enjoy healthy and peaceful environment for study, which is the very essential requirement for the preparation of such examination.

Role of IAS STUDY POINT
We provide right direction and orientation needed for preparation of such examination. Each syllabus has been defined into modules and after the completion of each module, a test is conducted. The Institute imparts guidance at Chas (Bokaro) only.

Teaching Methodology
Our teaching methodology is quite different from others and unique. Here, we believe in result-oriented approach. Introductory Classes are provided at the start of new batches so that students can equip themselves with the pace and routine of the courses and faculties. We cover all the topics of the given subject thoroughly. On every Sunday, a test is conducted, which simulates real time test conditions.


Objective
Our primary objective is to provide dependable guidance to candidates preparing for the Civil Services Examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission, with a view to enable them to secure their cherished career in life.
A candidate just after passing out of a university does not comprehend clearly what is expected of him to qualify in the Civil Services Examination. He is not in a position to select a new optional subject, which will suit both his personal aptitude and the chances for securing higher marks in the Civil Services Examination. This is where a candidate needs the help of a professional educational Institute specializing in the Civil Services Examination. Keeping in view the difficulties a candidate is likely to face when he decides to sit for the Civil Services Examination, we not only offer useful guidance to candidates but also help them in the selection of proper optional subjects.
We have been following and striving to improve upon our system of guidance in such a way that it would bring out the best in a candidate so that he could compete successfully in the Civil Services Examination.

Guidance
The Civil Services Examination is radically different from the University examination, which forms part of formal educational system. However the Civil Services Examination is a competitive examination, which aims at selecting a relatively small number of bright candidates from a large number of candidates of above average ability. The technique formulated in imparting guidance in our Institute differs from that of the Universities. Since the knowledge of a subject and its application in answering multiple choice questions in the Preliminary Test and presenting answer in a lucid and systematic manner within a specified word-limit in the Main Examination are equally important to succeed in the Civil Services Examination, the Institute stresses equal importance on teaching, holding weekly tests, analysing the question papers and raising the level of confidence to face the tough competition for selection to the Civil Services.

Library Facilities
The institute has a well stocked library and extends its full utilisation to the bonafide students of all the classes. There is a well equipped reading room which subscribes to a large number of dailies, weeklies, periodicals, and journals on a variety of subjects. It has more than 1500 books on different subjects. National and local newspapers in hindi and English are Subscribed in the library. The library also subscribes to important news magazine, Competitive magazines, science magazines, Ministries Annual reports , Economic survey & Budgets.

Course
The Institute offers the following three courses for the Civil Services Examination.
(i) Preliminary examination course
(ii) Main examination course
(iii) Interview guidance course

A candidate may select one or more courses depending upon the time of the year at which he starts his preparation and the level of his preparedness in a subject. The medium of instruction for all the three courses is English and Hindi both.

The batch with limited seats will be started in the first week of June 2010.

Interview Guidance Programme:
Interview is a very important stage of the Civil Services Examination as it carries 300 marks. Ranking in the final selection list depends a lot on the marks scored in the interview. It is very decisive for the final success if a candidate has received interview call with just qualifying marks. The Interview Guidance Programme of the IAS STUDY POINT is unique of its kind. In this programme all efforts are made to develop the confidence of a candidate and to groom him/her to match the expectations of the interview-board. In addition to discussions and lectures on relevant topics, three mock interviews in simulating conditions will be conducted by interview panels consisting of Senior Bureaucrats , the Director of the IAS STUDY POINT, subject experts and psychoanalyst. Three such interviews will be taken with some changes in the panel. Each interview is video recorded and later on shown to candidates in presence of experts.

Frustration is a global cancer. It has spared no country. In some countries, frustration exists because these countries are populated by “have-nots”. In other countries which are populated by ‘haves, frustration is among them also because they do “have”. As far as India is concerned its education system is breeding more and more frustration among both students and teachers. And yet no one seems too clear about what can be done to make it more meaningful. Many reforms have been discussed at length but have come to nothing for one reason or another. The authorities are not peddling the idea of autonomous colleges as a means of toning up teaching standards. They argue that by allowing certain colleges to introduce their own courses, hold seminars, and above all, to evolve their own method of assessing students, students will get a far better deal. Indeed, they make out that such colleges will have free hand in nearly everything except granting degrees. In theory, all this sounds attractive enough. But there is little to show that the managements concerned are keen on such reforms. Even today, nothing prevents a college from inviting guest speakers on specialized subjects or holding courses in English for vernacular students. But not a single one of those who are now clamouring for autonomy has bothered to do so. It is no secret that colleges which may be ‘freed’ to an extent from university control are highly elitist: In Mumbai, for example, there is a big cultural gulf between city colleges and suburban colleges. If some of the former are now given a degree of autonomy, it will only heighten this disparity.



The answer to the vexed problem of declining standards in higher education does not lie in encouraging the growth of ‘model’ institutions but in improving overall standards. This is of course easier said than done, since more and younger people are seeking degrees the only solution, however unpalatable it may sound, is drastically to reduce the number of those who are admitted to colleges. Even through there is political pressure on many state governments to build new colleges and to reserve more seats for backward classes, it will sheer folly to expand such facilities recklessly without giving any thought to the quality of education imparted. If admissions are made far more selective, it will automatically reduce the number of entrants. This should apply particularly to new colleges, many o which are little more than degree factories. Only then can the authorities hoe to bring down the teacher-student ratio to manageable proportions. What is more, teachers should be given refresher courses every summer vacation to brush up their knowledge. Besides, if college managements increase the library budget it will help both staff and students a great deal. At the same time, however, it will be unfair to deny college education to thousands of young men and women unless employers stop insisting on degrees even for clerical jobs. For a start, why can’t the Government disqualify

graduates from securing certain jobs-say, class III and IV posts? Once the degrees are de-linked from jobs, at least in some important departments, it will make many young people think twice before joining college.
