FOR UPSC Civil Services Exam

GENERAL STUDIES (INTEGRATED)

RAU’S IAS GENERAL STUDIES

INTEGRATED (GSI) – ONLINE

• An interactive-online learning

experience that 100% replicates the

on-campus/offline classes, delivered by

unequivocally the most experienced and

trusted name in Civil Services Coaching.

• Superior academic quality delivered to

your home.

• A perfect combination of in-class

instruction and online technology.

BENEFITS OF GSI - ONLINE

While the learning needs of all UPSC aspirants are the

same, the background they come from and therefore

their approach to studies may be different.

• You may have to balance work, college education

and family life which may make juggling between

that and time bound physical classes, difficult.

• You may be residing in a far flung area, and

commuting to campus to take physical classes

five-six times a week, impractical.

• Another issue may be that your learning

outcomes are thwarted by societal distractions

and you’d like to study via an alternate medium

to stay focused.

• You may have a unique learning style and pace.

Rau’s IAS GSI Online course will provide a unique

avenue for students to juggle the demands of society

on their scarce time and other resources, while still

being able to complete their coaching and coursework

and excel no matter their learning style.

WHO CAN BENEFIT THE MOST

FROM GSI - ONLINE?

• In general: Working professionals, parents,

international students, students with disabilities

and students located in far flung areas.

• During the Covid-19 pandemic: All students who

wish to socially distance themselves and study

from the safety of their home, can also take

advantage of our online course.

• Online course can be seen as the cost-

benefit solution that addresses the needs of

all UPSC aspirants.
