Hello Aspirant!

The eligibility criteria for appearing in UPSC exam is graduation and diploma is not considered as graduation. Therefore, you need to complete your graduation in order to be applicable for UPSC.

Hope this helps. Thank you

Hello Sneha,

Nice to know that you have decided your career field at an early age. IAS is a prestigious position with a lot of responsibilities still lakhs of students aspire for it each year.

First, I will tell you about UPSC examination. So UPSC conducts examination in 3 phases:

1) Preliminary Examination - Objective type questions with 2 papers (Qualifying stage so marks will not be added in final marks)

2) Mains Examination - 9 papers (out of which 2 will be of qualifying nature) - Subjective type questions - Marks will be counted

3) Personality Test - Interview stage

This total process will be of 2025 marks in total which will be counted for ranking and according to your rank you will get your service.

As you said you are in 9th std, I won't suggest you to start the serious preparation for UPSC from now onwards because preparing for UPSC needs some maturity which develops with time. You can start gradually after 12th with the proper studies. But you can do 1 thing now is that just concentrate on your school studies and clear all your concepts because they will be your base for studying for UPSC. And if possible you can try to make a habit of reading newspaper. Just try to read it for overall understanding and knowledge to make a habit and create awareness and don't read it from UPSC exam point of view.

Just Enjoy your school life at this moment with your studies.

All the Best!!

Hope this Helps...

Hey,

You can pursue any course in bachelors for taking up the IAS exam. However, as you are already clear, that you want to opt for Botany/Zoology as an optional subjects, then, it would be best if you figure this out and pursue your bachelors in this field only. Optional subject plays a very important role in IAS exam. Even if you are confused in this, you can better go for B.SC (Zoology, Botany, Chemistry). Because in this you would be able to study both Botany and Zoology and at the end you can choose subject of your choice as an optional.

Hey,

Candidates in the General category and OBC (creamy layer) must have reached the age of 21 on the 1st August of the Exam year, but must not have reached the age of 32 on the 1st August of the Exam year.

So, in 2024, you will be of 21 years but after August 1. So, this will make you ineligible to sit for the UPSC CSE exam in 2024. You will be eligible for UPSC CSE in 2025.

Dear Nivedhini,

Look, any competitive exam guided coaching centers / academies provides only those topics relevant to those exams , but to pursue any graduate degree like B.A or B.sc , you have to study in regular college or you can opt for distance learning!

Yes, you can continue your IAS coaching along with your ongoing graduation degree individually . But you can't get both benefits in any same centers / institutes .

Some of the well known IAS coaching institutes in Tamil Nadu are listed below:

• Chinmaya Academy for civil services ,Anna Nagar
• Sathya IAS Academy ,Chennai
• Samskara IAS Academy ,Anna Nagar
• Bigtree IAS Academy ,Chennai
• Shunmugam IAS study circle , Coimbatore

Hope this information helps !

best wishes !!
