Building on the success of the past three batches, the initiative has already supported more than 600 aspirants, with 73+ selections across UPSC CSE, IFoS, and AP/Telangana Group-1 services.
The program, conceptualized by Dr. Rambabu Paladugu, Director of La Excellence IAS Academy and Mr. Venkat Nekkanti of Nekkanti Seafoods, was created to enhance not only individuals but also the community and the nation at large. What sets the Prelims Core Batch apart is its ecosystem-based approach—a merit-driven system that integrates free mentorship, structured tests, continuous feedback, library and reading room facilities, and an environment where talented aspirants motivate one another. The mentors, including Dr. Rambabu Sir, Ram Mohan Reddy Sir, Kalyan Sir, Anush Sir, Sai Praveen Sir, Rama Krishna Sir, and Ram Gopal Sir, ensure accountability, discipline, and recalibration at every stage of preparation.
The selection process for the new batch begins with a screening test on 26th September 2025, consisting of 50 multiple-choice questions from GS and CSAT (100 marks). Shortlisted candidates will attend interviews from 6th to 9th October 2025, carrying another 100 marks. The final merit list, based on 200 marks, will decide admissions. The batch officially starts on 13th October 2025, offering aspirants a complete ecosystem to prepare for UPSC Prelims 2026.
Student experiences reflect the impact of this model. Sai Chaitanya Jadhav (AIR 68) said the Core Batch was a turning point that gave his preparation structure and consistency. Bonthala Vinod Sai Krishna (AIR 577) praised the mentorship, materials, and mock tests for keeping him exam-ready.
