L.E.A.P. is a training academy that aims to help launch students from the campus into a career by enabling them with a critical set of skills and the attitude of a workplace professional and train and mentor aspirants for career with the Indian civil services.
School and College campuses can serve as significant formative grounds that shape the outlook of students and help them to seamlessly integrate into a work environment. It is evident that the roles that students play in campuses are small stepping stones that equip them to take on bigger responsibilities in organizations. Unfortunately, not all students can effectively leverage available opportunities and not all campuses can create them.
LEAP was conceived with a vision to help create opportunities for students, regardless of their backgrounds. Through LEAP, we envisage that students who might not otherwise have had access to choice developmental inputs or employability skills, will receive them, and thrive.
We bring together trainers, academicians, civil servants, industry leaders and professionals from a diverse set of institutions and several decades of experience, to train and mentor our students and enable them with the skills they need to excel in their careers.
With training and mentoring sessions conducted offline and online, we are able to channel the expertise of professionals from different parts of the world into easily consumable digital modules that our students can access any time.
For the aspiring young student, on the threshold of increasingly competitive business, social and political environments, the challenge to be noticed is not a small one. Rapidly evolving organizations and institutions, require dynamic individuals with the attitude and the ability to think on their feet, master new skills and adapt under uncertainty.
LEAP provides the ideal platform for students to Learn transformational life skills, Equip themselves with tools to transition from campuses to careers, Aspire to purposeful roles, and Progress through holistic developmental inputs.
Focused initiatives like LEAP IAS, the flagship program under the LEAP banner, exclusively train and mentor aspirants for careers with the Indian Civil Services.
The role of a teacher has traditionally been viewed as one that imparts knowledge and information of various kinds to learners under their charge.
My view is that educators have a lot more to offer. They paint perspectives, seed desires and create opportunities for learners to construct their careers with purpose and passion. In my experience as an educator for close to 4 decades, I have seen a pressing need that students have, to acquire skills needed to chart the transition from schools and colleges, to being productive members of society.
Having donned the roles of a Professor, Warden, Vice Principal and later as the Principal of Wilson College in Mumbai, I have had multiple vantage points to observe the needs of students across a spectrum of settings. It helped me create programs and modules for employability skills for our students and connect them to corporates and professional organizations, in this period. The learning opportunities we were able to create for visually challenged students in particular, convinced me of the power of equalizers.
I see LEAP as an equalizing platform. Any student with a dream, regardless of their background, should be able to learn, equip themselves, aspire and progress to a career of their choice, be it in a corporate, an NGO or the Civil Services. We try to create those opportunities through skilling, training and mentoring.
I encourage you, dear student, to dream big, and take a LEAP.

It has been a good learning experience with LEAP IAS. The sessions have helped me a lot. The sessions on personality building, answer writing practices and discussions have been wonderful. Thank you so much for the attempts to encourage us to strive for excellence!!!. Highly appreciate everything you’ve done for us! May the LEAP IAS programs be a blessing to many civil service aspirants.
I’m so grateful for having this mentoring session for the civil service aspirants. I was able to participate in it from the beginning. The sessions helped me to have a great change in my way of thinking, identifying my own strengths and weaknesses, to have new insight and to improve my communication skills. The most important thing is the sincere attempt to give personal attention to each one of us and thank for being a role model for us.
The Civil service mentoring programme by LEAP IAS has immensely benefitted me in my preparation for the civil service examination. Civil service preparation is a time consuming, marathon kind of journey and many times we feel discouraged and frustrated. So having mentors who can guide you and help you to bring you back on track and help you to focus on preparation has been the highlight of LEAP IAS. I was immensely benefitted from answer writing sessions, discussion forums and Study groups. This has been very useful in my preparation journey so far.
LEAP IAS has been a platform where we are being mentored and it has been helpful in learning, unlearning and relearning along with a group of like-minded people who are on the same boat, rowing to the same shore, is indeed a greater blessing. Also, the faculty is really helpful in giving the needed guidance and encouragement to keep moving ahead.
The sessions of LEAP IAS are worth mentioning as they played a key role in opening my eyes to see the real picture of the world. The sessions on case study and decision making helped me to decide things in both normal and critical situations. Before this, I used to find myself in a confusing situation and leave the decision for others. The session on ‘ know thyself’ was great helped me for a sincere self-analysis. The transparency and the inclusiveness make the programme unique
Leap IAS initiative has been a blessing for me in my Civil Services Preparation. Leap's Answer Writing Practice helped me to frame a good answer and to balance my opinions on various issues. Various classes on Geography, History, Polity, Economics, Science and technology etc. gave me a good foundation on these subjects. Classes like' know thyself' helped me to understand my own strengths and opportunities and gave me more confidence. I have got a good team of friends for Prelims discussion , which is helping me to understand various subjects with more clarity. Thank you for giving me this opportunityto be part of LEAP IAS.
The mentoring sessions of LEAP IAS have been very helpful for me and it motivates me for working towards my goal as a civil service aspirant. The initiative for such a mentoring session has been highly motivating. The notes and daily Hindu newspapers provided are really helpful for the preparation. I have acquired really valuable knowledge apart from the subject that I took for my graduation. Thank you for such innovation and dedication.
