Hi Aspirant,

I assume by BAFSY you mean that you are working in a financial sector. Now coming to the topic whether you are eligible for Union Public Service Commission(UPSC) or not. Yes, you are eligible for UPSC as the academic eligibility criteria for UPSC suggests that candidates must have graduation in any discipline.

Hope this helps.

If you compare between IAS and IFS then obviously IAS have more authority in the district and the public administration compared to IFS. Although for IFS, the country in which the officer is posted, becomes the diplomat who is responsible for the well being of the citizens of India living in that country and the officer becomes a authority and representative of Government of India in that country. So they have relative strengths of authorities.

Now CBI is an investigative agency mainly working on Corruption, Smuggling, Anti-terrorism etc. Now if a CBI officer is given the right by the Supreme Court of India for Investigation for a case related to a Public Administrator then yeah! then CBI will feel more authority to question any IAS and officials.

In general, the people think of authorities but when you become an officer, this things doesn't matter. If you are enthusiastic about the work then go for it and you will really like the job not for the authority but for the job.

Hey,

You can generally pursue any of the course in your graduation of your interest and choice while preparing along side for the UPSC.

However, Humanities field certainly helps in preparation of the UPSC Examination, however, the selection rate shows that their is no as such reliable data which shows that candidates from a certain field do crack this exam.

You can choose the subjects which fascinates you more as that subject can be chosen over as an optional subjects which is like a milestone for UPSC Selection.

This is because even if you go for BA, it will obviously not cover all the subjects in UPSC. You will certainly need to prepare them along sides as the syllabus generally varies. So, better to go with the option of your choice, because there is no best degree for UPSC.

Hello there

Thank you!

See if you wish you can join coaching classes but it isn't necessary. You should strengthen your fundamentals in 11th and 12th and you can join the coaching in the 1st year/starting of the 2nd year of your college. Most of the coaching institute design there courses for 2 years. Thus in this way you will complete the course by the end of your graduation. As a result you will save a lot of time compared to that of any other aspirant. But if you start taking coaching classes from 11th then you have to again get admitted for the course in your 2nd year of graduation. So its better for you to go for coaching classes from 1st year or starting of 2nd year of your UG course.

Some of the top IAS coaching institutes are:

• Rau's IAS Study Circle
• Chanakya IAS Academy
• Sathya IAS Academy
• Vajiram and Ravi's IAS Academy
• Drishti IAS

I hope this answer helps. All the very best for your future endeavors!

Hello,

Despite the fact that both services are of similar reputation, most UPSC Civil Services applicants choose the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) over the Indian Foreign Service (IFS). Even the highest UPSC test scorers seldom opt to enter the Foreign Service.

A diplomat's life may appear to be highly colourful and affluent. They generally reside in large houses with domestic help. They also have the opportunity to host and attend parties. In addition, unlike their IAS/IPS counterparts, IFS officials are not subject to political influence. When they are stationed overseas, they also have diplomatic immunity in most issues.

Due to greater allowances, the IFS officer pay structure is also higher than the IAS officer pay scale.

In contrast, IAS/IPS officials begin their careers in district headquarters and sub-divisional towns, which may be in distant locations.

As part of their duty, an IAS officer is required to travel often within their district, which may include visits to underdeveloped regions or places afflicted by insurgencies, among other things. During their early careers, an IAS or IPS officer's social life might be severely constrained. The Indian Administrative Service, on the other hand, is an all-India service, whereas the Indian Foreign Service is a central service.

Hope it helped

All the best!!

Dear Shashi,

I will tell you pros and cons of taking any stream/degree of graduation keeping in  the mind that you have to become an IAS officer.

See, there is no hard and fast rule that you have to choose a particular stream in graduation to be eligible for UPSC, the exam through which you can be an IAS officer. The eligibility for becoming an IAS officer is to have the Bachelor's degree, no matter from which stream it is.

Now as you are from PCB background so if you take Bachelors of Arts thinking that syllabus are more related to UPSC in this stream then, all the things that you studied till 12th will not be used properly and not only this when you will go to take admission in any recognized University to take BA having Science background then they decrease 5% from your result while making merit list for the selection.

I hope that this will help you to choose the stream correctly.

All the every best!!
