STRATEGY PLAN 2012:
This will give you a clear idea on planning yourself on What to prepare? and when to prepare each section? It is such a good planner that, your progress will be subjected to self–monitoring, which eventually will persuade and pressurize you to study well. Strategy Plan will release you from the feeling of being out of control or having too much to study.

COMPREHENSIVE STUDY MATERIAL:
Updated Study Material covering the entire syllabus prepared by a Team of 23 eminent teachers, who have trained hundreds towards success in the IAS Exam. Notes on all topics are prepared in such a way that, not a single point given in the so-called Prescribed Text Books will be missing in our Study material. In other words, you will get all points from our study material, which are otherwise to be taken from 6 -10 books available in the market/library. That means, JTS study material is undoubtedly the most comprehensive and that will definitely give you added advantage in your prelims as well as Mains.

100% FREE TEST SERIES FOR THE PRELIMS & MAINS:
  Since the exam is highly application based and require more talent than content knowledge, more practice only will make you perfect for the real exam. To give you maximum practice and make you more perfect, JTS Institute’s IAS Home Study Plan 2012consists of 45 Mock Test Papers (worth Rs 5000/-) for the Prelims during April-May 2012 and 11 Mock Test Papers (worth Rs 5000) for the mains during September -October 2012. No other institute offers such a vast set of mock tests. All these tests have been designed in such a way that, while attempting each test, you will be getting practice in test taking + knowledge about probable questions + additional information about current events. How JTS Test series is different from test series conducted by all other institute’s in India? Take the Test series conducted by JTS and all others. In JTS Question Paper, say for example, if you take Prelims GS Paper you won’t find 2 questions pertaining to Books and Authors. Because according to the UPSC question Pattern only one question will be asked form Books & Authors under the Current Events Category. Like this UPSC follows a strict pattern for all subjects. On the other hand, take a GS Prelims Question Paper of any other coaching center for that matter, you will find many questions from a single topic (eg. Books & Authors) without following any pattern. In other words while JTS follows a systematic pattern in all its Mock Test Papers, most others’ Mock Test Papers are not better than a simple Question Bank.

PRELIMS MAGIC 2012:
(For Paper-I and II): What is the first advice any IAS Topper gives you on Civil Services Exam Preparation? “Go through question papers of the last 15 years.” But when you go through the last 15 years’ question papers, you will find that: NOT A SINGLE QUESTION HAS BEEN REPEATED!!  Then what is the big idea behind the advice of “refer all previous questions”?  The simple fact is that, 60-70% of the questions asked in the civil services exam are related (read-RELATED not REPEATED) to questions asked over the previous years. Therefore the first booster strategy is learning all topics related to the questions asked in the previous years. However just referring the previous papers will be of no use. Here is the relevance of the Prelims Magic 2012 designed by JTS Institute. This book introduces a very innovative approach to study the previous exam papers. In this book, you will find questions asked over the last 15 years’ Civil Services Preliminary Exams (GS) plus information required to answer 10-25 related questions. In 2009 Prelims, this strategy worked like magic and 122 out of 150 questions were asked from it. In 2010 and 2011also Prelims Magic was a super hit when 109 and 112 questions respectively were asked from it.

DOUBT CLEARING CELL:
Effective Doubt Clearing Cell with unlimited access over internet for all your doubts makes you perfect in all topics.  Students can get their doubts resolved through letters also. This gives you the feeling of being closely monitored by a senior Mentor.

CURRENT AFFAIRS UPDATES:
One of the latest trends of the UPSC Paper is that all questions have a root in a current event. In other words no question is being asked just for the sake of asking a question. On the other hand all questions (latest GS Question Paper again proved this fact) are compiled based on some events happened in the previous year ended one month before the exam. Hence a good command over all national and international events happened from January of the previous year till April-May of the year of the exam is an essential requirement for better performance in the prelims. In IAS Home Study Plan 2012 all current national and International events, happened during the last one year will presented in the form of Mock Tests with explanatory answers or as separate booklets. Once you study all these questions you will be thorough with all current events and ready for a very good performance in the Prelims 2012.

PROBABLE QUESTIONS PREDICTED BY 52 TEACHERS:
You must have heard that, there are some good teachers in different parts of the country especially in Delhi who predict questions or topics for the prelims. JTS Institute has identified 52 such teachers- many of them are well known in IAS Coaching circles - and made arrangements to include their selections for the Prelims 2012 in the IAS Home Study Plan 2012 in the form of questions in the Mock Tests with explanatory answers or as separate booklets.

SHORT CUT METHODS:
Paper 2 of the prelims requires not just the subject knowledge, but the talent to solve maximum questions in the minimum time possible. The only way to achieve this is, by learning short cut methods to solve problems especially in Numeracy and Mental Ability topics. The study material as part of the IAS Home Study Plan 2012 we provide, especially that of subjects coming under paper-2 are enriched with short cut methods, wherever possible.

HOW TO WRITE EXAM:
If you really want to do well and outsmart others, you have to know, how to attempt the exam in a smart manner. If you don’t have this pre-requisite, definitely you can attempt many questions, but result will not be as you expect. To help you out in this regard JTS Institute’s IAS Home Study Plan 2012 offers you a booklet on how to attempt the exam in a smart manner and how to improve your scores in Objective Type Exams. These are all some very practical exam tips suggested by IAS Toppers of the past years.

MIND PROGRAMMING: 
Many aspirants fail to get the desired result not because of their lack of preparation, but because of their poor programming of mind. IAS Home Study Plan 2012 provides you with a very effective material that guides you to programme your mind to attract success and only success.
