Hello Supriya

Glad to see that you are interested for UPSC at that age.But i would suggest you to prepare for your 11th and 12th exams because you will get so much time to prepare yourself for UPSC after 12th.Also you have mentioned that you are from Science Stream,that means if you have mathematics as one of your subject it will be beneficial for you because there are many topics where they ask Mathematics questions.

After completing your class 12th,i would suggest you to do BA from any good university like DU,JNU,BHU because this course will help you the most when you prepare for UPSC because there topics is related to History,Polity and Geography which covers almost half of the syllabus for UPSC.

But right now, i want you to focus on you 11th and 12th then go for UPSC because you should have 21 years of age and also graduation degree then only you can give UPSC.

Hope It Helps

Best Of Luck!

Hello,

First of all, right now you're only in 11th Standard, so you have got a lot of time in hands to prepare for UPSC.

To give you a basic idea about UPSC exam, it 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

Right now, your only priority should be to focus on your current studies wholeheartedly, and excel in it.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 in order to start your preparation for UPSC, but do remember not to neglect your studies at any point in time.

• 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 basics, for each subject, you can do with NCERTs for this.

• 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 aspirant,

Happy to hear your interest. But to become a IAS officer you have to write IAS exam. To write IAS exam you should be a 21 years old person with a degree from a recognized university in India. So prepare well from today to crack IAS exam with good scores. Study your basics well. Then prepare the syllabus given for the IAS exam.

Hope it helps.

Faria, though BA LLB is an integrated course, you get your Original degree and relevant certificates only after the completion of the course, You do not get 2 certificates at completion of BA and LLB. In such case, you cannot appear for UPSC post the completion of just BA. You will have to complete the course and then appear for UPSC. Or you can even appear for UPSC in your final year.

Dear Aspirant,

IAS stands for Indian Administrative Services which falls under the machinery of All Indian Services alongside IPS or Indian Police Services and IFS to Indian Forest Services. IAS is the most competitive among the three.

The work of an IAS Officer is to assist the ruling government through policy making and administration of districts. They are also responsible for implementing the policies and providing feedback to the concerned ministry about the implementation status and effects. They are answerable to the parliament and state legislatures for maintaining law and order, crisis management, revenue collection, and more. They begin their career with duties at a sub-divisional level.

The exam is open to all Indian citizens. The candidates must have an undergraduate degree from a recognised college. Candidates with a correspondence education or a qualification recognized by the Government of India are also eligible. Final year students are also approved for application to the first stage of the exam. The age limit is 21 to 32 years. There is a relaxation of SC/ST/OBC candidates.

So first of all, you need to clarify CSE which is conducted to recruit civil servants. The success rate of the UPSC Civil Service Exam (CSE) is thus less than 1%, and therefore, it is the most difficult exam in the country.

There are three parts to this- Preliminary exam, Main Exam and Interview.

For Preliminary, there are two papers of 200 marks each. The first paper is based on General Studies and the second is to check the Comprehension and Analytical Ability.

The Main Exam has tons of papers which are as follows:

• Indian Language from among languages in Eighth Schedule to the Constitution. Not compulsory for candidates from Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Sikkim for 300 marks.
• English for 300 marks
• Essay for 250 marks
• General Studies: Indian Heritage, History, Geography, Politics, International Relations, Technology, Economy, Environment, Ethics, Aptitude, etc. for 4 papers of 250 marks each
• Optional Subject for 2 papers of 250 marks each

After this if you qualify, you are called for the interview.

Hope this helps. All the best!
