Hi

Even if you are a Hindi medium student the route to becoming an IAS officer remains the same:-

Here's how you can become an IAS officer:-

If you want to become an IAS officer then  you need to be a graduate in any discipline  and at least 21 years old and then clear  UPSC civil services examination which consists of three stages listed below :-

*prelims exam :- it is objective paper and is of qualifying nature , so you just  need to at least qualify it to be eligible for mains examination, the score /marks obtained by you in your prelims examination is not added up or used in your final merit. Your prelims exam consist of 2 papers: -

-) general studies  1

-) general studies II ( csat )

You get 2 hours for each paper

*Mains exam. :- it is descriptive /written examination . There are a total of 9 papers  which are listed below:-

-) compulsory indian language.

-) english

-) essay

-) general studies I

-) general studies II

-) general studies III

-) general studies IV

-) optional I

-) optional II

*Interview :- After qualifying mains, you have to go through interview round, and it is more of test of your personality rather than knowledge.

• And don't worry even if you are from Hindi medium because the question paper in prelims and mains are in both English and Hindi and when it comes to answer writing in mains then you can write your answer in Hindi , the only paper in which you'll have to face English is English language paper in Mains examination. You can even give interview in Hindi .

If you managed to sail through all the three stages  then you can become an IAS officer depending on your rank in UPSC, your category etc

Dear student,

Yes you can do that. But it also depends on your college or university you are taking admission in.

Like see, if you are doing BTech or MBBS from any recognized college then they hardly give you anytime to go out and take coaching classes. They keep us busy in various assignments and works.

Yes, but there are many state and other colleges in which you can enroll yourself and can do offline coaching for IAS.

Make sure that while you are applying for UPSC exam through which you can be an IAS officer, your age should be between 21 to 32 years old. Candidate needs a graduation degree from a recognized university or college.

Hey,

B.Tech and BA are totally different from each other. Every UPSC aspirant works with a backup plan. If you see Srushti Deshmukh, Kanishak Kataria and many other toppers, they all are from Engineering background and prepared for the UPSC Alongside. If you wholly want to focus only on IAS, think both on the cons and pros of your choice. Furthermore, it is not always essential for UPSC CSE coaching. The syllabus is designed as such that candidates can himself/herself prepare for the exam within a maximum span of two years. So, taking coaching for three years and along side regular college, will no longer give you time for self study. How much good coaching center you join, if you do not study yourself or revise, you cannot score good enough in the exam. You can even opt for weekend coaching or use online resources to prepare for the exam. You can opt for the degree which fascinates you more and you can choose same in the optional as well which will really help in boosting your score. Don't take stress and be calm.

Hello candidate,

If a candidate has done his degree in the field of psychology then it's an opportunity for him to take up the same subject as his is extra subject while appearing for the UPSC IAS examination.

So, definitely it will be a boost for him as compared to his counterparts because he has already the knowledge about the subject and it will require a bit less effort than those who are starting it from scratch. Overall, be consistent with your practice and hard work and determination is the key to success for each exam.

Hope you found it helpful!!
