Sakshi Singh 2nd Jul, 2022

Hello,

If I am not wrong, you are referring to UPSC. So yes UPSC has 9 papers in mains, out of which first two are qualifying while rest are counted for merit which are known as GS paper. It takes 5-7 days for completion of mains exam.

  1. Paper 1: Qualifying (1 Indian Language)
  2. Paper 2: Qualifying (English language)
  3. Paper 3: Essay
  4. Paper 4: History, geography, society, Indian heritage and culture
  5. Paper 5: Governance, Constitution, Polity, Social Justice and International relations
  6. Paper 6: Technology, Economic Development, Bio-diversity, Environment, Security and Disaster Management
  7. Paper 7: Ethics, Integrity and Aptitude
  8. Paper 8: Optional Subject Paper 1
  9. Paper 9: Optional Subject Paper 2

Each of the qualifying paper is of 300 marks and all the merit paper are 250 each making it total of 1750. And the personality test is of 275 marks. The total marks are 2025.

I want to study degree in your campus is it right for my govt jobs like IAS Or IPS

pdwords Student Expert 30th Jun, 2022

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.

I am in 12 grade waiting for my result I want to become IAS officer but at the same time I want to go aborad once in a while to for studies like I want to pursue masters from there but what should I do I am literally very confused

Arhana Chakraborty 16th Jun, 2022

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.
