UPSC Civil Services is one of the most sought after jobs in India, with lakhs of aspirants appearing each year for a few hundred vacancies. The competitive fees of the coaching institutes deprive many aspirants of the required guidance and faculty services required for the preparation. However, many central and state universities are now providing affordable coaching to such aspirants.
The competitive exam center of Savitribai Phule University, Pune also started one such integrated UPSC Coaching course where aspirants can avail the Integrated coaching facility for three years. The course focuses on UPSC Civil Services preparation, students’ capacity building through training in different skills, and strengthening their core subject areas. The University has started the application and admission process for the second batch of its three-year ‘Integrated Course for Administrative Careers’ (ICAC).
ICAC Course Structure for UPSC Coaching
