Why combine degree and IAS preparation?

UPSC allows candidates to apply for Prelims in the final year of graduation. Students who prepare only after college often spend two or three extra years catching up. An integrated programme uses the college years themselves, so the first attempt comes soon after graduation with the syllabus already covered.

The exclusive girls campuses

The programme runs at Pragnya IAS Academy's exclusive girls campus at the Ashok Nagar branch — in the Ashok Nagar / RTC X Roads study belt — and at the exclusive girls campus at the Hayathnagar branch, serving students from Hayathnagar, Vanasthalipuram, LB Nagar and nearby areas. Both campuses are girls-only, with the same faculty, test series and mentoring as the academy's main programmes.
