Indian Institute Civil Services

The Indian Institute Civil Services operates out of the Alpha Beta School building, specifically in section A 64. We are located in Tilak Nagar. It’s a school environment, so there are always kids running around or bells ringing, which keeps the energy up. Our space is basically a few converted rooms. We have desks, some whiteboards, and plenty of chairs. It is a very functional setup. We don't spend money on expensive carpets or art for the walls. We have maps and schedules taped up instead. Being in Tilak Nagar is convenient because of the shops and the metro nearby. Most of us take the train to get here. We've been in this particular spot for quite a while now. The rooms can get a bit warm in the summer, but we have some fans that do the trick. We aren't a huge organization with hundreds of employees. It is just a small, dedicated group of us. We spend our mornings preparing materials and our afternoons meeting with people. It’s a busy routine but we are used to it. The school staff and we get along well. We share the same hallways and sometimes the same tea stall outside. It is a very grounded place to work. We don't have any grand slogans, just our daily tasks. We are just part of the furniture at Alpha Beta School now. Each day brings something different and we just keep going.
