Dear student,

Yes, you are eligible for IAS exam even if you have Nearsightedness that is myopia.

See, any minor physical problems is not a matter of concern in Indian Administrative Service but if someone is aspiring for Indian Police Service, then these things are checked.

Like you said you have Myopia(-4.5) so it is not a reason of being unfit for IAS post because you can see well by having spectacles but you should note that if someone have myopia with macular degenerative changes then he/she will be called unfit for service in the IAS.

Hi

After your 10th , can choose any of science ,commerce or arts stream based on your interest after your 10th for your 10 +2 and then for graduation if you want to become an IAS officer.

This is because,

to become an IAS officer you need to clear UPSC civil services examination and to be eligible for UPSC  examination there is no compulsion to have done 10+2 in a particular stream , also there's no compulsion to be a graduate in a particular subject, all you need to be eligible is that you should be a graduate in any discipline , so you are free to do 10+2 and graduation in any subject.

But yes,

choosing Arts or the humanities in your 10+2 and graduation can be really helpful for your UPSC  examination, this is because in Arts you will be learning subjects like history , polity etc which are a part of the UPSC syllabus so it will help you in your upsc examination.

To help you further here's a brief of your UPSC exam

UPSC civil services examination has 3 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

The compulsory indian language and english are qualifying in nature . You just need to qualify them. The marks obtained by you in these two papers will not be counted towards merit list.

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

So, if you manage to sail through all the three stages  then congratulations you can become an ias  officer depending upon  rank obtained by you in UPSC civil services examination ,your preference of services and your category .

Hi,

If  you belong to Humanities stream, you can begin with reading your own NCERT textbooks in details. The core basic of the UPSC CSE is started by reading the NCERTs to form a strong base. Even if you belong to other streams, at this phase, you can begin with just reading newspaper. It may appear to be simple, but, when you will start reading newspaper in your UPSC preparation, newspaper alone will take 2-3 hours to get the details. Read The Hindu and The Indian Express, slowly you will develop pace and can identify the important topics to be read. It can save your further time. Right now, just focus on your class 11 and 12 studies. If we see, it will be too early to prepare for the exam. UPSC prepares the syllabus accordingly and it will take a maximum of two years to complete the comprehensive syllabus including both Mains and Prelims. So, right now you can focus on your studies and can begin with newspaper reading.

Hi,

It does not matter which bachelors degree you undergo to be an IAS Officer. For appearing into the UPSC CSE entrance exam, you just need to have bachelors degree in any stream from a recognized college/university. You need to just prepare the UPSC CSE Syllabus in detail and appear for the interview at last. No single course can cover the whole aspects of the UPSC CSE Exam. You can undergo any of your desired course and prepare for the UPSC CSE along side.

Hello,

Here are some tips :

Start interview preparation in advance . Many of the candidates start preparation after the results announced. This will have little time to take more information required to diverse qns asked during interview. If you are optimistic about your results don't wait.

Be your natural self before the board you have to appear what you are no need to wear mask which you are not. They are not expecting to be extra ordinary person with qualities.all of them want is your commitment , how suitable you will be to this job.

Never bluff before the board be honest these are the two qualities that you should be careful about.

Don't blindly follow tips of & advice of boards. Practice before the mirror in your room. You can record your conversation.

Thankyou.

Dear Vandita,

I will tell you pros and cons of taking any stream 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!!

Nice to know that you want to be an IAS and wish you Best of luck.

Now regarding your question, I would say there is no such subject which can ensure your chances more. See UPSC is an examination which requires a special attention that is to get a job through UPSC you need to study specifically as per the UPSC syllabus. Thus there are no options available that can ensure you more about the selection. I would recommend you that you should take the subject you like the most. This is a very important point because if you take the subject you like then while studying it you will not feel bored or get exhausted. This will help you to study your BSc subject as well as your preparation for UPSC. So take the subject you like the most.

Now you can take some subjects which are in your UPSC syllabus like BSc Geography, Economics. But I assure you that the things you will learn in BSc will not be needed exactly in your UPSC preparation. Instead you will find that foundational knowledge to the subject is important. This is the reason why I stated that you should pursue the subject you like and keep a focused plan for your UPSC preparation.
