Hello suraj,

As you mentioned that in most of your documents there is a mistake in your name so it will be advisable if you request for the correction before you give any government exam.

Matters related to change in name , incorrect spellings are treated very strictly as they are the proofs of your sole indentity. Follow only one pattern. Either request for a  change the name in marks card and certificate or go for the alteration in adhar card and bank. Well the second one will be the best choice. You can easily change your adhar card details as well as bank details.

And then try to make these changes equivalent in all documents.

If your Cognizant profile name matches to all the documents provided by you, then there will be no problem.

Hope it might have helped.

Regards

IAS ki taiyari karana chahata hu

Student 27th May, 2022

Hi there


In order to answer your query, I would say first of all its quite good you have set your aim for this ambitious examination. That being said there are a lot of technicalities which you must know while appearing for the same.

You should definitely consider the following:-


1. Check the latest eligibility criteria before starting preparation to ensure you can sit for the same.

2. Check out the dates of application forms, like when they are going to be released and the last submission date. During preparation it's natural to lose track of such stuff which later on could prove to be a blunder

3. Check the latest syllabus for the exam and start yourself getting well versed with the concepts of it.

4. Start giving enough mock papers along with past year papers to analyse what standard your current preparation is.

5. Check out the articles or videos of people who have aced this exams to know any good tips and tricks while preparing. Doing these steps will boost your preparation


I hope this answer helps; best wishes

Iam in class 7 and i want to prepare for ias exam what should i study

Narayani 2nd Sep, 2022

Hello aspirant!

I think you might just be a tad bit too young to start preparing already.

There’s still around 8-10 years before you will even be eligible to appear for the examination.

Although it’s never too early to study. What you can do as of now read all your NCERTs thoroughly and this should be followed even when you move to the next standard.

I say this because NCERT is the most important source for preparation.

When you finally do start yoir preparation some years down the line, you’ll find it way easier.

All the best for your future pursuits!

Hi

Your profile suggests that your qualification is 10th.

You can choose any of science ,commerce or arts stream based on your interest after your 10th for your 10 +2 and then for graduation if you want to become an IAS officer.

This is because,

to become an IAS officer you need to clear UPSC civil services examination and to be eligible for UPSC  examination there is no compulsion to have done 10+2 in a particular stream , also there's no compulsion to be a graduate in a particular subject. You can be a graduate in any discipline.

For your reference,

UPSC eligibility  criteria is provided below:-

*************  You  must  have  a  bachelor's  degree in any, discipline    from a  recognised university  .

*************  Minimum  age  limit :-  you  need to  be at least  21  years  old   to be  eligible as on 1st of August of the year of filling the form

But yes,

choosing Arts or the humanities in your 10+2 and graduation can be really helpful for your UPSC  examination, this is because in Arts you will be learning subjects like history , polity etc which are a part of the UPSC syllabus so it will help you in your upsc examination.

So, take your time and decide .

Coming to college/school

You can choose any recognised school/college for 10+2 and then for graduation depending upon the course you opt for.

To help you further, here's a brief of your UPSC examination pattern
