Hello Aspirant,

Both these exams do not consider the graduation percentage. So, you are eligible for both these exams.

Your score in graduation degree is not remarkably positive if you wish to become an IAS officer.

But allow me to explain that it is not the end.

Marks achieved in an exam don't certainly indicate one's abilities and incapabilities.

It only indicates your result and productivity level at that provided period which might have been adversely affected by a combination of aspects.

But you need to have your subject knowledge.

Begin going over your graduation books as the interview council will inquire about your fundamental understanding of the graduation subject.

So marks of graduation are not significant but the subject insight of graduation subject is significant.

Hello Aspirant ,

It is very good to decide your aim this early in your life as it will give your enough time to prepare for UPSC CSE examination ,if you are thinking about starting your preparation  after completing your class 12/from the first semester of your college you should start with basic NCERTs book of class 6-12 and give it proper 1.5 to 2 years as they are the base for your UPSC preparation and then from the 4 semester you should move on to other books like Laksmikant , Spectrum etc you should also start News paper reading .

You should start answer writing practice from the beginning of third year and then solve PYQs from 4th year .

Hope this helps.

Hi Koena,

Greetings of the day!

The most important thing to understand is whether you are interested or not. Studying for getting good results will motivate the individual but the procedure is somehow difficult for many. So I would suggest you follow these steps for acing the exam.

• Make a fixed timetable with all standard books required for UPSC.
• Stick to the timetable and follow by heart.
• Daily read newspapers and practise various types of questions for a better understanding of concepts.
• Read the topics daily in the morning Jn which you are lagging.
• Strengthen your foundation and write the answers with accuracy and good handwriting.
• Solve the questions within the time limit as it will help you in competing in the examination.
• Study daily for 7-8 hours and gradually increase when the examination is near.

Motivate yourself and Practice meditation. Also, eat healthy to stay fit and fine.

Hope his help.

Wishing you very good luck :)

Hello aspirant?

Quite an odd question but there’s no limits to curiosity!

To answer your question, yes, IAS officers ate allowed to have their own car for personal works.

In fact, the car provided to them for their post is only and only meant for official work and not personal indulgences.

All the best for your future pursuits!
