"You will not have a united India if you do not have a good All India
Service which has the independence to speak out its mind, which
has a sense of security... The Constitution is meant to be worked by a
ring of Service which will keep the country intact."
- Sardar Vallabhai Patel
From the Course Team
Dear Colleague,
The Academy and the Course Team welcomes
you to the Indian Administrative Service (IAS)
and the Professional Course Phase I (20132015). You are amongst the privileged few to
have been selected into a public service widely
regarded as one of the most challenging in the
country and perhaps in the world as well.
The idea of the IAS as the premier All India
Service, replacing the colonial Indian Civil
Service (ICS), crystallized at the Provincial
Premier's Conference convened in October
1946. The first competitive examination for
recruitment to the IAS was held in July 1947 and
the new recruits joined the IAS Training School,
Metcalfe House, Delhi, in 1948. It was in 1959
that the National Academy of Administration
was established in Mussoorie, and was later rechristened as the Lal Bahadur Shastri National
Academy of Administration. Conceived as a
vital link between the Union and the States in our federal polity, this premier service was entrusted with the overarching
task of realizing Mahatma Gandhi's vision of a self-reliant, inclusive and dynamic India. Looking back at the balance
sheet during the past six decades of India's tryst with democracy and development, the picture that emerges is rather
mixed. While the IAS has, to a large extent, lived up to the vision of our founding fathers in institutionalizing democracy
and nurturing the country's pluralistic social fabric, a lot still remains to be done. This Course is about preparing the
ground to enable you to lead and become officers with depth of character, breadth of vision and requisite skills to
deliver on tasks entrusted upon you. At a more fundamental level, this training is meant to build a foundation and
provide a perspective for the rest of your career in the civil services. As an entry level programme, it seeks to equip you
with the requisite domain knowledge, skill sets and attitudes that would stand you in good stead in the first decade of
your career – as Sub-Divisional Officer, Project Officer, District Rural Development Agency (DRDA), Chief Executive
Officer of Zilla Parishad, Municipal Commissioner, District Collector and in some cases in the State Directorates,
04
05
Public Sector Undertakings and the Secretariat. The success of this course depends as much on your enthusiast
engagement, as upon the design and delivery of the course, per se While we assure you that the course team has
taken utmost care in planning and designing the course, it is your willingness to learn, which will be the defining factor
in the success of this course. The stay at the Academy is not only mentally stimulating, but also physically invigorating.
We invite you to make full use of the Academy's facilities for study and recreation. Use this time to strengthen existing
friendships and build new ones that would span a life time. We sincerely hope you actively participate and enjoy the
Course, just as much as we have in putting it together for you.
Wishing you the very best – today and always.

IAS – The Training Canvas
The training of an IAS Officer Trainee now spans about two years (104 weeks) and comprises the following courses
!
The Foundation Course equips fresh entrants with requisite skills, knowledge, and appropriate attitudes to
shoulder responsibilities as public administrators; inculcates greater coordination among the different civil
services by building esprit de corps; and cultivates the spirit of cooperation and interdependence.
(15 weeks)
!
The IAS Professional Course Phase I imparts rigorous training to the IAS Officer Trainees in a wide range of
subjects to enable them to handle varied assignments that the officer typically holds in the first decade of
service.
(26 weeks)
!
State and District Training exposes the officer trainees to the ground realities and provides opportunities to
apply the knowledge and skills acquired during the Professional Course to field situations.
(Joining time and 54 Weeks)
!
The IAS Professional Course Phase II provides the Officer Trainees an opportunity to reflect on and
synthesize the knowledge and skills acquired during the Phase I and the experiential learning of District
Training.
(Joining time and 8 Weeks)
From 2007 onwards, the training scheme for the IAS has expanded well beyond the IAS Professional Courses and
now involves Mid-career Training Programmes (MCTPs). These programmes are now delivered in three stages – the
Phase III at seven to nine years of service, the Phase IV at fourteen to sixteen years of service and the Phase V at twenty
six to twenty eight years of seniority.

concludes on 13th June, 2014. It has two main components:
!
Winter Study Tour & BPST (nine weeks – commencing on 21st December 2013 to 21st February 2014)
!
On-campus training inputs commencing on 3rd March 2014 till 13th June 2014.
The Phase I Programme: A Typical Day
The Phase I is a full time training programme with an eclectic mix of curricular and extra-curricular activities. A typical
day would commence at 0630 hours with physical exercises at the Polo ground. Academic sessions would
commence at 0930 hours sharp. The details would be specified in the weekly timetable. Unless altered otherwise
through special notices, there would be following 55-minute sessions during a working day.

Session V
(Session V would usually be stipulated for Language/ extra-curricular activities/ seminars)
The evenings would be dedicated to programmes by Clubs and Societies including cultural programmes.
Attendance in all the sessions listed in the weekly timetable is compulsory.
Academic Inputs
The on-campus academic training commences on 3rd March 2014. While the syllabus prescribed under "The Indian
Administrative Service (Officer Trainees' Final Examination) Regulations, 1955" is the basic framework, suitable
modifications have been made to adapt it to the changing training needs of IAS Officers. The academic modules are
structured around thematic inputs covering varied domains that IAS Officers have to deal with. These would be
interspersed among sessions in Law, Economics, Political Theory and Constitution, Languages and ICT.
The training methodology being adopted in this Course would constitute a mix of lectures, case discussions,
seminars, panel discussions, order writing exercises, moot courts and mock trials, management games and role
plays, group exercises, films, field and outdoor visits, among others. Several experts and eminent persons from
diverse backgrounds would be invited to address you during the Course. These would expose you to alternative
perspectives and diversity of opinion, which are necessary for making any considered decision.
As an IAS Officer, you have to become thorough with the language of the State of allotment. Statutory language
examinations would be held during the Phase I programme. Those of you already familiar with the cadre language will
be provided advanced instruction in administrative usage of the language and will also be required to undertake
alternative modules and activities. You would be required to present your State Paper in the cadre language, while the
hard copy of this assignment can be submitted in English. The ICT module for Phase-I has been designed specifically
to familiarize you with computing environment in districts, concepts/issues involved in computerizing a system, latest
trends in technology, web design, client/server computing, e-governance and so on. The idea behind this input is not
to make Officer Trainees “computer-professionals”, but to acquaint them with the capabilities of technology in their
real life working environments.

Mentoring through counselling is an important component of this Course. There would be structured Counsellor
Group Meetings in the Phase I Programme. Each cadre has a designated Counsellor, who is a senior faculty member.
The list is provided at Annexure I. Beyond structured sessions, it is expected that the Counsellor and Officer Trainees
meet informally at mutually convenient times. The relationship between a Counsellor and an Officer Trainee is of a very
special nature that continues during the district training and Phase II programme. The Counsellor reviews and grades
all written assignments and initiates the Annual Confidential Roll of the Officer Trainees.
You are already familiar with the computerised feedback system in the Academy. Recording sessional feedback is
compulsory. Failure to do so constitutes dereliction to duty. Regularity in filling the feedback is an important input in the
assessment of your classroom performance. You are expected to actively participate in all classroom-based course
activities. The Academy believes in full freedom of expression and you are encouraged to express your views,
including points of disagreement. It is equally important to bear in mind that questions, views, observations and points
of disagreement are expressed in polite and temperate language and not in an offensive manner.
While reading material on different modules would be circulated to you, academic inputs should be supplemented
with self-study.. The Academy has a well-stocked library with large collection of books, articles, journals and
audio¬visual material. You are encouraged to make full use of the library during your stay at the Academy.
Assessed Academic Tasks
State Paper
All Officer Trainees are required to prepare a State Paper (2500 words) on specific aspects of the State of allotment.
The topic of the State Paper has to be finalized in consultation with the Cadre Counsellor. While the State Paper can be
written in English, its presentation will have to be in the Cadre language.
Book Review
All Officer Trainees would be required to review a book (2000 words). The book to be reviewed has to be decided in
consultation with the Cadre Counsellor.
Group Discussion and Exercises
The ability to present one's point of view in a cogent and logical manner is essential for a civil servant. The recognition
of team spirit, understanding of others' point of view and presenting one's case effectively, are all brought about well in
the seminars and exercises. These will be scheduled regularly and on topics of contemporary or academic interest.
End of Week/Module Assessment
The modules would he rounded off with a MCQ based quiz or an assignment which would form a part of the overall
assessment. Case study presentations during the course of the week would be included in the summative
assessment as and when necessary. This would ensure that classroom sessions get adequate weightage.
Winter Study Tour (WST): Group Presentations, Individual WST Diary and Travelogue
Each WST Group is required to make presentation on the learning from various attachments and travel across India.
Every Officer Trainees is also required to submit her/his WST diary and travelogue for assessment. The details have
been spelt out in the WST Manual.
Outdoor Activities
Career in the IAS is often sedentary and tension-filled. Sound physical and mental health is an essential pre-requisite
for an Officer of the Service. In the Phase I programme, you would be encouraged to cultivate and sustain the habit of
regular physical exercises. The morning Physical Training and designated sessions for games and sports in the
evening are compulsory. All Officer Trainees would also be required to take at least two horse riding sessions every
week. Depending on the session(s) when riding is slotted, you will not be required to attend morning PT/ evening
games. There will be a final Dressage and Horse Jump Show towards the end of the Course. Physical exercises and
outdoor activities are integral part of the Course and absence from them will be treated at par with absence from
academic sessions. In cases of sickness, you shall report to the play ground, sign the sick register and leave after
obtaining permission from the Course Team member present there. In cases of serious incapacitation preventing
movement, prior permission has to be telephonically obtained from Associate Course Coordinator (Discipline) or
Associate Course Coordinator (Outdoors). On weekends, adventure sports activities including river rafting,
parasailing, overnight treks, rock-climbing, etc., would be scheduled.
Extra-Curricular Activities
Officers with interests and hobbies beyond just the official work are better equipped to handle the stresses that the job
creates. In the Phase I programme, you would be encouraged to develop passion for creative activities through
extra¬curricular modules. There will also be performances by national level exponents in music, dance and theatre
under the aegis of SPICMACAY
Elections to the Clubs and Societies would be held as soon as you report to the Academy after the WST. The Course
Team solicits your active participation in the elections and all activities of Clubs and Societies. The list of Director’s
Nominee/ Associate Nominee for various Clubs and Societies is at Annexure II.

Day is to acquaint the Officer Trainees with the culture and cuisine of their allocated cadres. They will be scheduled in
the time table of the week.
The constitution of groups for each zone would be based on the State of allotment. The details are as follows:

IV Inter-Services Meet
The clubs & societies will organize an Inter-Services Officer Trainees meet in the month of April (tentative
dates 19th & 20th April). This meet involving academic and extra curricular competitive events will provide
on opportunity for you to interact with your batchmates from the other services and help foster greater
camaraderie and espirit-de-corps among the different services.
V Innovation Conference
An innovation conference will be organized in the last week of the course wherein the best practices & innovations
made in the field will be shared with you by the officers who have carried out those innovations
Phase I – Administrative Issues
Group Formation
Following the announcement of your cadres, the lecture group allocated to you and your Officer Trainee Code (OT
Code) have been changed. Every Officer Trainees will receive a new OT Code and will also be allocated to either A or B
Group for all training sessions. These Groups will be further sub-divided into quarter groups, A1, A2, B1 and B2 for
quarter group sessions.
Discipline
The Academy believes that you are mature, motivated and inspired learners. But freedom brings attendant
responsibilities. In view of the fact that you will shortly be assigned responsible positions in Government, the Course
Team will brook no compromise on basic discipline in terms of regularity, punctuality and decorum. There will be no
compromise on these basic issues. Polite and graceful conduct with colleagues, academy staff, guests and faculty
would be the cardinal norm in the Course. Unauthorized absence, late arrival for scheduled sessions, failure to
comply with dress code, disinterested attitude and dishonest conduct would be viewed very seriously and invite
appropriate administrative action. The Associate Course Coordinator (in-charge discipline) is the first reference point
for all disciplinary matters, with a provision for appeal to the Course Coordinator and then the Director. Please be
advised that any contact with external agencies, institutions or authorities like the Central/ State Government should
only be through proper channel, that is, the Director of the Academy.
Penalties for breach of discipline
Within the Academy, the supervisory role in disciplinary matters has been delegated to the Course Team. This cannot
be bypassed under any circumstance. Any attempt to bear external influence or pressure on the Course Team on
discipline/ leave matters would be treated as gross misconduct, inviting harsh penalty.
Discipline and conduct carry substantial weight in the overall Director’s assessment in the Phase I programme. Apart
from grading down marks allocated under the Director’s Assessment for poor conduct, other penalties applicable
under the AIS Conduct Rules, which include non-confirmation of probation and discharge, following penalties can be
administered during the Course.
Offence
Penalty
A. Late arrival/ willful disobedience/
• First instance: Punitive physical training beyond scheduled

Casual Leave for every lapse and undergo simultaneous

punitive physical training.
B. Unauthorized absence from any class,
• Third instance: Any further instance of indiscretion would
P.T. other engagements without prior

Leave Matters
This Course is fully residential. You are required to stay on campus in the rooms allotted to you. This is a ‘No Leave’
Programme. However, in situations of extreme emergency, grant of station leave can be considered by the Associate
Course Coordinator (in-charge discipline) on merits during the entire Course.
Application for leave (except in unforeseen emergent situations) needs to be made to the Associate Course
Coordinator (in-charge discipline) at least 15 days prior to the intended date of commencement of leave. An Officer
Trainee can leave headquarters only after receipt of formal sanction of leave.
Please take note that Officer Trainees who do not avail any leave in the Course would be rated higher than those
availing leave. There are clear limits to availing exemption from scheduled physical training/ academic sessions. In
case this limit is exceeded on account of repeated medical exemptions, the Officer Trainee can be asked to repeat the
Course in the following year.
Attempts to avail leave by citing false reasons, or leaving headquarters without prior sanction of the competent
authority on weekends/ holidays would be construed to be gross misconduct. It would invite punitive administrative
action including discharge from the Course.
Guests
Officer Trainees are not permitted to change rooms or keep their spouses or family members with them, either on the
Academy premises or in any other accommodation in Mussoorie. However, you are permitted to have guests for a
total of ten days during the Course. You are required to inform the Associate Course Coordinator (in-charge discipline)
about the period of stay of the guest(s). Requests for allotment of guest rooms in the Academy can be made to the
Associate Course Coordinator (in-charge discipline), which would be considered, based on availability.
