would it be a good idea for me to pursue BA LLB and give examination of IAS in the third year itself would i be able to prepare ?

pdwords Student Expert 6th Feb, 2020

Hello,

You cannot give IAS exam in third year of BA-LLB, either you complete full five year program or you can give in final year,

UPSC Civil Service Exam consists of three level-

Preliminary
Mains
Interview


Preliminary numbers are not added in the final list, you just need to score the required cut offs against your category.It mainly consists of GS Paper-I and CSAT. Both consists of 200 marks, MCQs based.


Mains is more of a subjective type, one needs to write answer for Four General Studies Paper,Two Optionals, One Essay, two language paper, there are total nine papers here. 250 marks for each paper, total is 1750


The biggest advantage you have right now is time and if you use it wisely, it'll help you succeed in the time to come. You can go through the gradual steps as mentioned below for preparation of UPSC during your graduation period:


Be well acquainted with UPSC Syllabus, learn it by heart, that's the most crucial step to crack this exam, to know what to read and what to skip. In addition to this, never ever make a differentiation between prelims and mains, what I mean is do not prepare separately for each, because nowadays what's happening is even in prelims, UPSC frame questions based on Mains syllabus, So, the first towards preparation shall be a combined preparation for both.


Read any newspaper like The Hindu, or Indian Express on a regular basis to be updated as well as gaining knowledge which shall be highly useful to you in future exam preparation part.

Start with NCERT books, as you progress, move on to other relevant books, keep your resources minimum like Polity by Laxmikanth, History of Modern India by Bipin Chandra etc.

Start practicing answer writing in advance, even in a little way, writing mains is a huge task for nine paper, it requires immense practice along with knowledge.

Practice previous year question paper which you can get from the site of UPSC,in addition mock papers, and test series which you can get it from any of the sites extensively dedicated to UPSC, , it's highly important to evaluate your performance while doing so.


Prelims is mcq based, but still it requires knowledge coupled with speed, and for mains, as I already mentioned the importance of answer writing.

Hi there.

The answer to your questions is Yes, you can apply for IAS after completion of your integrated course of B.A/B.ed. Anyone can apply for the civil services examination irrespective of their stream(science, commerce, arts).The only requirements that need to be fullfiled before applying for this examination are.

1. You must have a bachelor's degree from a known institute.

2. You must be atleast 21 years old.


The reason behind someone saying this statement was that because most of the people generally pursue their career in teaching field after completion of their integrated course.


Hope you're clear now.

I get a low percentage in 12th can I do upsc

priyaankasarkar Student Expert 5th Feb, 2020

What matter for being considered for UPSC is your performance in the Prelims, Mains and Final round of Interview. Your academic marks have no bearing for UPSC exam. Your performance in the UPSC exam is what determines your eligibility for the subsequent rounds and not your 12th or Graduation percentage. So if you have scored less in your 12th, you move on and score decent percentage in your Graduation and prepare for UPSC.
