Hello Aspirant

Not at all, no. No institute's resources are adequate.

You must create your own study material from these institute's notes, Toppers' notes, your own regress analysis of the topic from Google, and notes from previous year's questions in order to pass this exam.

No Institute can say that you must only read their notes to pass the UPSC exam because of the way the exam is designed; this is not their fault.

If they are, they are lying, I can tell you.

Hello,

Which college are you enquiring about?

See when it comes to appearing for UPSC, candidates need to pass graduation in any discipline from a recognized university, there is no specific aggregate required in this case, those in the final year too are eligible to apply provisionally, also you have to attain 21 years as on 1st August of the appearing year,

it's your preparation, strategy, and diligence which help in qualifying UPSC, your college really don't play any role, you may find many toppers from previous year who have merely passed their graduation but they have become  IAS,

you have to keep few things in mind like do you want to have a back up plan or not, as this is highly competitive exam, and toppers come from various background that of engineering, medical, arts, commerce, science etc, if you're only focusing on qualifying UPSC then having graduation in history, geography, economics, political science, public administration etc helps in the sense there is considerable overlap with the gs and optional syllabus.

• Read more about civil services. Find out about the life of a civil servant or a diplomat. If possible, talk to an IAS officer and get to know about ground realities of the job. If you still want to do it, then
• Take up a graduation course that involves history and polity. These subjects are of immense importance to the UPSC syllabus. If you would acquire a level of mastery in these subjects, you can also opt one of them as your optional subject.
• https://www.upsc.gov.in/sites/default/files/Notif-CSP-22-engl-020222F.pdf - please go through this. It will tell you everything you need to know about the exam.
• Also, start reading public administration, economics, etc. You can even study these subjects as your main subject, all depending on your interests and aptitude.
• Don’t lose touch with basic maths that you learned in school. This is needed for the CSAT paper in the IAS Prelims.
• After you graduate, you will be eligible to give exam. Make sure you are ready by then. All the best!

Thank you

Good Morning

Hope you are absolutely fine As per your query for any civils exam preparation,the best guide is NCERT textbooks. It has covered all the necessary topics from basics and it is easily understandable. some of the most important NCERT and other books are listed below:

UPSC CIVIL SERVICE exam is a nationwide exam which is conducted to recruit the higher civil servants of the Indian government such as Indian administrative Services (IAS), Indian Police Services(IPS), Indian Foreign Services (IFS), Indian Railway Services (IRS) etc.The exam is conducted in 3 phases, i.e., Preliminary Exam, Mains exam,Interview.

Every year around 10 lakh applications arrived for this exam.Out which 5 lakhs actually gives Prelims.Then around 10000-15000 candidates are selected  for mains exam.After mains exam Maximum 3000-4000 candidates are selected for Interview process. Then after Interview according to post available in notification only those number of candidates  are selected in final list.

For being an IAS officer..I'll give you a rough idea with approximate rank..

one should be in the rank of top 75, and if the candidates belong to some reserved category for those rank can be upto 150,200. This is a rough idea..I don't know exactly ranks for being an IAS officer.

Now coming to your question,

Being an IAS will surely gives that particular person some power as an IAS officer, but that doesn't  mean one should exploit it nor let any other members of family,reltatives to use it to inflence people. With great power comes great responsibility.

If you brother gets selected as a IAS, and suppose he gets even home state cadre, there's no chance he can be appointed in home district as conflict of interest kind of situation will happen there.

You don't have any kind of influence or any power in your district just because your brother is selected as an IAS officer.

But You,Your brother and the whole family will feel proud that he gets selected as an IAS officer. There will be so much respect in the society for your brother and the whole family.

See if you wish to go for the UPSC CSE examination then you can also go abroad for the Master's course in abroad. The Government of India offers opportunities to its bureaucrats to update themselves and as a result you can do MBA in Public Administration and correlated course from abroad on the expense of Government of India.

So UPSC can also fulfil your dreams. I would suggest you to find out what you real interest is, and then pursue it. Don't go for other opinion but go for the things which you think is the right for your life.
