IAS mentorship programme for UPSC Civil Services
Pragnya IAS Academy's IAS mentorship programme gives every aspirant a personal plan, regular mentor reviews, evaluated Mains answers, All India tests and interview guidance from IAS officers — in Hyderabad or fully online.
What IAS mentorship at Pragnya includes
IAS mentorship is structured, personal guidance through the UPSC Civil Services Examination: a mentor plans your preparation, checks your answers, tracks your test scores and corrects course every week. Coaching teaches the syllabus; mentorship makes sure you convert it into marks.
- A personal study plan built from your attempt history, optional subject and available hours
- Regular one-to-one review calls to track targets and fix weak areas
- Mains answer writing with evaluation and written feedback
- Essay and Ethics (GS IV) case-study sessions
- Prelims practice through 22 All India tests (4 CSAT + 16 GS) taken by 15,000+ candidates
- Interview (Personality Test) guidance from retired and in-service IAS officers and former UPSC panel members
- Daily current-affairs analysis, a daily UPSC quiz and the online Study Library for daily revision
How the mentorship programme works
Every mentee follows the same four-step cycle, repeated through the exam year.
- Diagnosis — a counselling session reviews your previous attempts, test scores and sources
- Plan — a dated weekly and monthly plan for GS, optional, CSAT and revision
- Practice — tests and answers submitted on schedule and evaluated with feedback
- Review — regular mentor reviews adjust the plan using your scores, not guesswork
Who should join
Mentorship helps most when you already know the syllabus but results are not following.
- Repeat aspirants who missed the Prelims cut-off or the final list
- Prelims-qualified candidates preparing for Mains
- Working professionals who need a tight, realistic plan
- Self-study aspirants who want accountability and answer evaluation
- Mains-qualified candidates preparing for the interview

IAS mentorship — frequently asked questions
What is a UPSC mentorship program?
A UPSC mentorship program pairs an aspirant with an experienced mentor who sets a personal plan, evaluates answers and tests, and reviews progress regularly through Prelims, Mains and the interview.
What is the difference between IAS coaching and IAS mentorship?
Coaching teaches the syllabus in classes. Mentorship is personal guidance: a mentor plans your preparation, evaluates your answers and tests, and reviews your progress regularly so your effort converts into marks.
Is mentorship enough without coaching?
For aspirants who have already covered the syllabus once, yes — mentorship, tests and answer evaluation are often what is missing. First-time aspirants usually combine it with a foundation course.
What is the fee for the IAS mentorship programme?
The fee depends on the stage (Prelims, Mains or interview) and mode. Call 98804 87071 or send an enquiry for the current fee and batch details.

Mentoring and evaluation are led by Pragnya faculty — trainers from Delhi, Hyderabad and Bangalore — with interview and ethics guidance from retired and in-service IAS officers and former UPSC panel members.
How do I choose the best UPSC mentor?
Look for evaluated answer writing with written feedback, regular one-to-one reviews, national-level tests for benchmarking, interview guidance from officers, and verifiable results.
