An Opportunity for Civil Services Aspirants

Around 50 serving Civil Services Officers from IAS/IPS/IFS/IRS/IFoS have come together to provide informal mentoring to civil service aspirants. They hope that it will motivate and give confidence to the aspirants. This programme is absolutely free.

This mentoring will be done virtually, thru the whatsapp application. Mentoring is done both collectively and individually. Collective mentoring is done by 12 mentors in a group, for about 90 minutes every day, generally from 9 pm to 10.30 pm. Individual mentoring will be done till the exams, at those timings convenient to the mentor and mentees. One mentor will have 2 or 3 aspirants as mentee.

The 5 groups are:

1. Pre-prelims group: for those aspirants who are planning to appear for prelims in 2015 or beyond. Here the aspirants get exposure to civil services and are counseled by very senior officers on the suitability of aspirants for civil services.

2. Prelims A: for those who are appearing for prelims the first time, and in 2014.

3. Prelims B: for those who are repeating prelims, whether they have been successful or not earlier.

4. Mains: for those who want mentoring for mains exams.

5. Interview: for those who want mentoring for interview.

One aspirant can be in ONLY one group. Each group has a chief mentor who will keep a close watch on the aspirants and ensure that the common goal is achieved. Apart from the chief mentor, there are around 10-12 mentors in each group form different services who help in collective mentoring, apart from each of them mentoring few aspirants individually.

This discussions are beyond what is available in internet, books etc. The idea is to motivate and provide with insights that will enable students to clear the exams, even if they are not able to get a formal coaching.
