What our Toppers think?
I was RaU's QIP student in 2020 and again in 2021. I started out as a regular viewer of DNS videos on YouTube and that's how I made up my mind to join QIP.
QIP videos have helped me enrich my content and the test series and mentoring enabled me to refine my answer writing for different GS papers. Your feedback was crucial in helping me feel more confident and enabled me to focus on other aspects of their preparation.
I have relied heavily on Focus and Compass study material for my GS preparation which are responsible for my success. Jaikrit Sir has been my mentor who has guided me at every step of the way from content to answer writing to calming my nerve and mentally be ready for the exam.
I dedicate my success to Rau’s IAS Study Circle. It is the learning ecosystem of Rau’s IAS that has given me an advantage over my competition helped me crack the exam in my first attempt. Also, since I was working alongside my preparation, I always had limited time at disposal, and that has helped me crack the exam because I could not refer to anything other than Rau’s IAS resources.
I joined Rau’s for discipline & guidance. There were teacher who were very helpful as well. More than getting content I always felt motivated and got guidance from teachers. Best thing I found in Rau’s IAS easy to reach out teacher after class for doubts. I am very thankful to Rau’s providing Classes, Test series, DNS (Daily News Simplified) & hand holding guidance.
My mother was a student of Rau’s IAS to prepare for the Civil Services Exam in her days. It is she who recommended me to join the Study Circle. I want to thank my Alma Mater for all the guidance, direction and support. To all the students at Rau’s IAS, you’ll be given a lot of reading material and handholding wherever required, Use it! You are in an institute that knows how to teach for IAS exam well, so utilise that! Use all the resources given by Rau’s like their foundation blue books, focus magazine, DNS, revision materials like compass books and QIP classes etc and make most of the time spent at the institute. I did it and here I am.
When I came here I was full of questions and apprehensions just as you all might have before starting your preparation for UPSC. But when I joined I understood the syllabus, the basics and the direction for preparation. This institute has given me a lot, moreover it can give you a lot if you have the right attitude and appetite for knowledge.

No, CSAT (Civil Services Aptitude Test) classes are not covered in our GS Foundation Course. However, you can enrol in the CSAT Foundation Course offered separately to prepare for that component of the Civil Services Examination.
The number of students who study concurrently is the only difference between offline and online classes. Rest, everything is exactly the same. Batch size of offline classes is only 100 students which is why the fee of offline classes is higher.
Yes. We have one pool of GS faculty which teaches in all offline and online batches. You’ll get the same teachers, same material and same focus in online as you would in offline.
For the offline classes, the batch size is limited to 100 students. This ensures a personalised learning experience and allows individual attention to each student.
For the online classes, while the batch size is more than 100 students, there is still a cap in place to maintain a reasonable student-teacher ratio. This limit ensures that every student enrolled in the online program can get adequate attention and support from the faculty.
The validity of the Rau's IAS Foundation Course depends on the type of course you enroll in - whether it is a regular batch or a weekend batch.
However, regardless of the batch type, there is a 2-year complimentary Quality Improvement Program (QIP) included with the course. This QIP provides revision classes, mentorship, and a test series for 2 years after completing the foundation course.
