In a remarkable achievement, more than 23 aspirants mentored by the National Association of Civil Servants (NACS) have made it to the UPSC Civil Services Examination (CSE) 2025 final merit list. This success story highlights NACS’s Interview Guidance Program (IGP) as a game-changer for UPSC hopefuls.
The IGP featured mock interviews and strategic advice from top-tier civil servants like IAS, IPS, IRS, and IRTS officers. Venues included Bihar Bhawan in Delhi and Patna, supplemented by virtual platforms to reach candidates nationwide.
Since its inception in 2014 under BK Prasad (IAS) and seven other officers, NACS has grown into a powerhouse with over 1,500 members. Focused on Bihar and Jharkhand youth, it delivers free coaching, including classroom sessions and IGP, fostering a supportive ecosystem.
The program’s uniqueness lies in its regional panelists who understand local contexts, ensuring candidates face interviews in a relaxed setting. Post-session WhatsApp groups connect mentees directly with officers for instant clarifications. In-depth classes cover diverse topics—from personal hobbies to international relations—building holistic profiles.
BK Prasad, NACS Chairman, shared his vision: ‘We built this to enable officers to give back to their communities.’ He noted that NACS-guided toppers have dominated UPSC, BPSC, and JPSC results for 8-10 years, a testament to their methodology.
As the nation gears up for 180 new IAS officers, NACS’s free, effective guidance stands out amid paid coaching giants. This feat not only boosts confidence among regional aspirants but also sets a standard for merit-based, accessible preparation in civil services.
