Questions? Answers.

Can I try it first?

Yes. The Acads IAS CPC Sample is free, with sample lessons from every module.

What is the difference between CPC and CPC PLUS?

CPC is every Prelims subject in compact modules. CPC PLUS adds Compact Current Affairs 2027 and 2026, The Final Sprint for Geography and Strategy, and Acads Intelligent Guessing.

Why does the content unlock over time?

Serving everything at once causes anxiety and memory interference, so modules unlock on a schedule designed for the most retention by exam day.

Can I take Intelligent Guessing on its own?

Yes, for ₹1,999. It is also included in CPC PLUS. We release it in the last month before Prelims, because it supports your knowledge rather than replacing it.
