can I do my under graduation in correspondence to write upse examination?will it affect my dream of becoming a IAS officer?

priyaankasarkar Student Expert 13th Oct, 2019

There is no steadfast rule that a Candidate should have completed his/her Graduation full term. The eligibility rule states that a Candidate should have completed his/her Graduation in any discipline from a recognised University. This University should be incorporated by Act of Central or State Legislature of India. So, as long as your University is a recognised one, you are eligible to appear for UPSC examinations.

how is preparation of upsc exam. .? I wish become IAS an officer

Ronak Gala Student Expert 12th Oct, 2019
  • Get thorough with the syllabus and make a habit of reading things daily and revising it too.
  • Set personalised day goals and try to achieve them daily so work honestly.
  • Make your own notes after you finish reading.
  • Before starting NCERTs and news paper Watch some awesome videos on Indian history, society, our Constitution. Available on YouTube

    • Then watch available videos on some videos for  various subjects like Polity, Economy, History. Have a basic understanding.

    • Go through the booklist for upsc.

    Reading newspaper

    • Avoid in the beginning. Since you do not have any idea on what to read and how to read. After 4–5 months of preparation only start reading newspaper.

Can I give exam for IAS after persuing BCA (degree or diploma ) ? or I will have to take another degree like BA BSC or btech ?

rehan18alam Student Expert 10th Oct, 2019

Dear Aspirant,

Students who wished to appear for UPSC exam must have to have a Degree from recognised university by University grants commission. Hence, if you have a degree not diploma then you are eligible for IAS exam. Moreover, you have to have your degree with you if you are going to appear for the exam. You can give prelims if you are currently in the final year but for mains, you must have your degree with you.

Hope this helps. Thank you.

To prepare for this exam you have to work very hard. Its not an easy task. So first of all start your preparation  with the basic NCERT books of Class VI-XII of History, Geography, Economics, and Science. For a properguide  and full booklist you can visit Mrunal's blog or Unacademy's website (Roman Saini's lessons). It will be very much helpful for you.
