Same as like that one most important thing is your basics.You must clear your basics firstly so fir that ncert books are preffered so firstly do reading of ncert from class 6 to class 12 as they will create you base.

Hello there

I appreciate your dedication that at a very early age you're determined to become an IAS officer.

See at this age you must be focused on your academics too as they play a very vital role. Now coming on to the IAS preparation you can join any college any stream whichever you like it couldn't be working as a obstacle in your aim of becoming IAS officer.

As you are asking of any specific college so i would not recommend you or even there's no any specific school who'll provide you the preparation of upsc exam at this age. If  there is so, then that's not worth it.

From my own point of view firstly do your 11 and 12 class with dedication and the  from your graduation period start your preparation.

Best of luck!

Thank you!

Hello aspirant

Hope this helps you!

And there might be some possibilities of change in exam pattern not the Syllabus .

All you need is to spend your time in Reading newspaper .

*The Hindu*

Get a handy of syllabus for UPSC.

In next 2 years when you will be in spending your time in 11th and 12th.

You should read all the NCERT books from class 6 to class 12 which is required according to Syllabus.

Making a target of completing a book with in a month, that is going to be quite easy for you.

Spending 30 days to complete 5–6 chapters.

If you still have time , you should take a look over magazines like Yojana, Science Reporter so you can have a interest in reading these magazine..

When you will be in 1st year, you should start reading some standard book on GS paper , which you will come to know very easily when you will be in touch with other Aspirants.

One more thing, you will get a lot of standard videos, on various subject, over YouTube.

Predicting books name which you should refer , after 4–5 years is just a way to waste your time and mine too.

Just make habit of looking over the previous year question paper too.

Hope it helps!

Thank you!

Hello there

Hope you're doing good. For your kind information I want to grab your attention that to become an IAS officer there is no any government college or private college where you have to take admission to become a IAS officer.

Basically you have to give an UPSC CSE examination which is of three stages preliminary mains and interview and in that you have to excel and make yourself in the cutoff list and thereafter you will be getting various services according to your rank.

Prepare well for it you also need not to be worry about your graduation stream as it accepts all dynamic students.

Hi

If you are still in your intermediate second year i.e in your class 12 then I won't recommend you to start your UPSC preparation right now because class 12th is very important  and in this year you need to work hard to score well in your 12th board examination so that you can get admission in a good college for your graduation. If you want to become in IAS officers then you need to clear UPSC civil services examination and to be eligible for that you need to be at least a graduate so what you can do is start your preparation for UPSC during your graduation if you can manage with it otherwise after completing your graduation.

Anyway,

If you still want to study for UPSC preparation in your to 12th itself then I would recommend you to first complete your 12th board examination syllabus and then what you can do is start with class 6th - 12th History Civics geography books .

- ---------) Discipline is the key to crack UPSC, so you need to make a routine/ time table and follow it .

----------)Read newspaper like the Hindu or Indian Express  and magazines like Yojana, Kurukshetra, Economic and Political Weekly  to keep yourself updated with the current events and issues.

----------) take short breaks in between your studies, studying continuously can be brain tiring and it becomes difficult to focus and study with concentration, so take breaks to relax and refresh your brain otherwise you won't be able to retain whatever you read.

-----------)Choose your optional subject wisely , choose the subject you have interest in.

----------)Make short notes for each subject, these will be your life saviour and will help you in your revisions a lot as syllabus is wide

----------)Set daily goals like I have to cover these many topics today, weekly goals like I have to  cover these chapters this week and practice their questions too, by the end of this week and similarly set monthly goals to cover the syllabus and meet them without any fail.

----------)Revise :- there's no point of preparing for the exam if you couldn't recall anything in the UPSC Examination so you should stress on revision as well.

----------) Your mains examination is in written, so you need to work your speed and also work on improving how to present the knowledge you have on paper, so answer writing practicing should be your priority

----------)Solve previous year question papers and mock test papers ;- You should solve these , it will give you idea of types of questions asked and their difficulty level and will help you a lot.

----------)Also work on your communication skills and personality development as it plays an important role in your interview round.

Hello aspirant.

Hope you are doing well in your life. See for the preparation of upsc you don't need to have something any specific graduation or specific subject. For upsc you can choose any subject according to your preference and can give exam according to that only.

For ease many people choose bachelor in humanities subject as it coincide with most of the upsc syllabus. But you can do your graduation from any stream in which you feel good.

Best of luck!
