What is the routine Timetable of IAS trainees at LBSNAA?
IAS Officer Trainees spend three major phases at LBSNAA (and two more, but those come at a later stage in their careers).
- First is during Foundation Course that is held with IAS, IFS, IPS and other services together.
- Next is in Phase I, right after Bharat Darshan.
- Then, Phase 2 is after district training, and it is held one year after Phase I.
Foundation Routine:
5:00 AM: Wake up and get ready for PT
6–7 AM: PT
8 AM: Breakfast
9:15 AM – 2 PM: Classes
2–3 PM: Lunch
3–4:15 PM: Classes
4:30–6 PM: Hobbies (ECM)
8 PM: Dinner
On every Saturday, a trek is organised that starts at 6 AM and ends at noon to 1 pm. Also, many activities are held during the course ranging from various cultural events in the evenings, talks by eminent personalties, visits to villages, Himalayan treks etc., which is part of the routine itself.
Phase I Routine:
Pretty much same routine except that activities reduce, classes are different and different set of things are held. For example, literary festival, various visits, competitions etc. are held
Phase II Routine: Yet to come for me!
