About Us

Over the last three decades SRIRAM’s IAS has


emerged as one of the leading institutes in India
with the vision to be the Centre of excellence and
the mission to develop innovative and ethical
future leaders. The work of bureaucrats is
becoming increasingly complex. Today's
environment, characterized by disruptive politics
and technology; increasing integration of the
world's economies; and major social changes all
over the world , particularly India, is extremely
complex. Therefore those who aspire to become
tomorrow's leaders will need to acquire
specialized knowledge, skills and attitudes.
Teaching for the Civil Services Examination
demands renewal on a continuous basis.
Information and developments bombard the
candidate from all sides. Therefore, in every class,
the faculty discusses the given chapter in a
manner that it should appeal to a good ,
inquisitive, above average, young and determined
student. Conceptual clarity, current applications
and India-centeredness, where necessary are the
elements of such a discussion. Dumbing down
never helped anyone. So we always leave room
for discussions.

almost 3 months.
