i am an arts student my subjects r political science ,history, psychology, eco and eng what should i pursue in graduation if i want to crack UPSC exam and become an IAS officer.

Arhana Chakraborty 22nd Mar, 2022

See the subject you are doing graduation on doesn't matter for UPSC. The only thing which matters regarding the selection in UPSC CSE & becoming an IAS is the preparation you have gone through. So you have to make your preparation great. Now you should choose the subject of graduation which you are interested. Pursue that subject. The core psychology behind this is that, if you study the subject of your interest, then it will require less time for you to invest in your studies & you can invest more time in your preparation.

The subjects you have in 10+2 are quite good and if you wish you can do the UG program in Psychology, Economics, or Political Science. This subjects are in the curriculum of UPSC and having an indepth knowledge may provide you a better platform. Now its your choice, the thing you should understand is that your preparation matters & not your graduation subject.

Can I do preparation both IAS and CAT exam at same time after completing class12 ? If yes ,then please tell me some tips and tricks for it . And also tell me about some difficulties that will come during preparation.

Mr Dreamer 13th Mar, 2022

For CAT and IAS examination, the pattern and level of examination is quite different, however the basic Aptitude test of IAS in Preliminary Examination will surely help you out in your CAT examination in Aptitude section only
First you must decide, Which Examination you are preparing for and when you are planning to appear in the examination, accordingly, you will strategise your level of preparations
My suggestion for you is to go for IAS examination, as this is an examination which is being globally accamlaimed for its toughest level, its preparation will surely open wide variety of choices for you like State Level Combined Competitive Examination & other State Level service selection board examination.

My question is how to prepare for UPSC (IAS) if I am a regular student of Central University (DU). Please give me some tips for it. I want to prepare for both. Thank You!

Narayani 2nd Sep, 2022

Hello aspirant!

This is a genuine concern for a lot of students. That’s probably because juggling two things at once not just seems difficult, it actually is difficult.

Although, as surprising as it is, most people prepare for the UPSC CSE examination while still being in college. That would mean it very much is possible.

All the best for your future pursuits!

Feel free to ask more questions and queries.
