Common Questions

Everything you want to
know before joining.

What is the General Studies Integrated course for UPSC?▼
Our 1 Year GS Integrated course for UPSC is designed to accommodate the needs of dedicated aspirants who have already graduated or are in the final year of graduation. It covers all subjects in the General Studies paper of the exam for prelims and mains, including an Essay paper, within a span of 12 Months. With a strong focus on history, geography, polity, economics, science, environment, current affairs and more, this course ensures a well-rounded preparation.It also includes the All-India mock test series for UPSC and is available both offline and online with recording access, providing you with the flexibility to learn at your own pace and never miss a class due to an emergency. The GS course offered by APTI PLUS includes 850+ hours of lectures, study materials and regular high-quality tests. These tests are designed to help you learn about the UPSC syllabus in a better way, ensuring that you receive a high standard of preparation.
What is the Foundation Course for UPSC and how does it differ from the 1-Year Integrated Course?▼
The IAS Foundation Course is designed for early UPSC Civil Services Exam preparation so that college students can balance their studies and IAS preparation. The syllabus is completed within 2, 3, or 4 years, offering flexibility and sufficient time for revision. In the first year, students build a strong foundation by covering NCERTs and advanced classes in core General Studies subjects like History, Geography, Polity and Economy. Answer-writing skills are also introduced early. Subsequent years focus on advanced topics like Environment, Ethics, International Relations, Essay writing, Science & Technology, Current Affairs and mock tests.
How is it different from the 1-Year Integrated Course?▼
While both courses of APTI PLUS cover the complete syllabus for Prelims and Mains, the 1-Year Integrated Course is an intensive program completed in one year, suited for full-time aspirants. The UPSC Foundation Course, however, is paced to allow flexibility and deeper understanding over multiple years, ideal for college students or early starters.
How can I choose the best UPSC course that suits my needs?▼
It entirely depends on your current stage of preparation and academic background: Beginners or Final-Year Graduates: If you struggle with self-preparation, you may go for a 1-Year Integrated Course. It offers comprehensive syllabus coverage within a year, perfect for focused, full-time preparation. 1st or 2nd Year College Students: Opt for the Foundation Course, which spreads preparation over 2-4 years, balancing it with your college studies. Working Professionals: Opt for the Distance Learning Program, designed for flexibility with access to recorded classes, study materials and online support. For those with basic preparation but doubts, the Mentorship Program can help clarify concepts and strengthen weak areas through personalized guidance. Those Needing Practice: If you have completed your preparation, join our Prelims and Mains Test Series or Daily Answer Writing Program to refine your skills and improve exam readiness.
Are online classes suitable for UPSC? Can I do UPSC coaching online?▼
Yes, you can pursue the UPSC online courses. Online UPSC preparation is for those who may not have access to physical coaching centres.Many premier coaching centres, including APTI PLUS, offer online courses. While choosing online classes, check whether the institute platform is interactive. Though online coaching provides flexibility and convenience, many platforms do not allow interaction with faculty members due to the vast batch size.Our Online UPSC coaching brings the classroom experience to the comfort of your home. Hence, the UPSC foundation course allows you to access lectures, study materials and resources at your own pace.
