Empowering Future Leaders with Free IAS Coaching
At Universal Group of Institutions (UGI), we believe in breaking barriers and creating opportunities for talented individuals who dream of serving the nation. Sankalpa 2026 is a fully funded IAS coaching program designed to support underprivileged yet meritorious students in achieving their dream of becoming civil servants.
With a legacy of over 25 years, UCC has already placed 8,053+ students in prestigious government positions such as IAS, IPS, IFS, IRS, and PSU roles. Now, Sankalpa 2026 is taking this vision forward—ensuring that financial constraints do not stop talented aspirants from accessing top-quality IAS coaching.
The Vision Behind Sankalpa 2026
“Sankalpa 2026 is not just a coaching program—it is a mission to empower talented individuals from financially weak backgrounds who have the potential but lack the resources to prepare for the Civil Services Examination.”
