UPSC Civil Services Exam
Dear student,
How are you doing ?, it's nice to see you aspiring to be an IAS OFFICER.
Now I would like to say. Your maths from 10th is like a piece of cake compared to higher classes like 11th or 12th. So when you enter your 11th class and if you take science you will face the reality of maths as a subject.
If you can cope up than we can say you are very good in maths.
Now about your queries, to be an IAS officer, the basic eligibility is,
You can be a graduate in any field no specific criteria, but it must be from a UGC recognised university. Than you need to prepare and qualify UPSC IAS exam, so apply for UPSC IAS exam, after your graduation. This exam is broken in 2 parts prillms exam and main exam. After clearing both you will be called for interview. I can suggest you that science is an over all good stream for such exam. You can grasp maths as well as other subjects that will help you out. Even if you cant crack IAS exam, your back up graduation in science will open options for other streams.
Hope this helps all the best
Hello,
As you're aware candidates need to attain 21 years age in order to appear for UPSC, and they can apply even in the final year provided they are able to show the proof of their qualifying examination within the stipulated timeframe as prescribed by the authority, now coming to your question in 2020 official notification, UPSC states "candidates born after 1st August, 1999 aren't eligible to apply", hence accordingly this year it will be "candidates born after 1st August, 2000 aren't eligible to apply", now you're born before the prescribed date hence to answer your question you'll be eligible for UPSC next year, and the exam will not take place in February, it will be conducted on 27th June, the notifications might come in february.
Greetings,
First of all you need a criteria to define 'power' and 'influence'. All these services being naturally prestigious, there is a certain level of difference when it comes to their domain of activity, this difference is what most people define as their 'power' . In simple terms the more influential and far reaching a certain posting is, the more powerful people will consider it to be.
Now let me explain in brief what the so called powers of such officers actually entail:
let me start by ranking them in terms of their social influence (how much are their effecting normal people's lives):
1) IAS - why is an IAS officer considered influential? simply put an IAS officer, during the early part of his/her career when they are collectors, have a far reaching domain of responsibility. They oversee almost every department in a district that generates revenue (hence the name, 'collector). Such control over functioning of so many departments puts an IAS in a position to virtually effect so many lives in their districts and that is why people flock around them to gain their favors. IAS officers in later half of their careers are still really influential because they move over to policy making work in various departments, each bureaucratic policy can majorly impact a department or field.
2) IPS - In early career years, IPS officers have direct impact (literally direct) over the citizenry of a district. They interact with the public, deal with their grievances, they can have the authority to arrest, search and even kill (encounter) under certain circumstances, these powers of the police are really unique and effect a lot of people in their daily lives, police is powerful because the people depend and rely on them for protection, exercise of justice and other things, many times these responsibilities are misused in certain ways, unfortunately and hence gives birth to a misconception that the police can do anything to anybody. Later career, IPS officers move away from the field and work on policy policy, budgets, planning, strategies for better policing of a state or move on to central services just like IAS officers.
3) IRS (different from IRAS) - The reason I put an IRS officer above IFS in the list is because we cannot judge the both on the basis of job profile, UPSC preference list and such. IRS stands above in terms of what you call as 'powers' because as I said, the criteria of power and influence involves direct impact on citizens' lives. In that respect, IRS officers handle one of the most import aspects of our economy, taxation and revenue. That responsibility is in an of itself is unique and gives them a wide array of influential decision making powers.
4) IFS - We generally do not interact directly with IFS officers and so they have a clearly defined domain that indirectly affects us in the long run. Meaning that the foreign policies, diplomatic relations that these officers help form with other nations is where their influence is seen most and a normal person living a normal life has no business in that department so they don't need to go to an IFS officer's door to ask for help.
5) IES - IES officers (engineering services) have their own technical exam for selection and are, essentially, 1st class engineers who are concerned with administration of our industrial sector (PSUs and all) so they have a different career trajectory just like IFS officers do which does not involve other citizens as much.
As for their influence, both IFS and IES officers exercise great influence and position of authority in their respective fields but most people like us don't even know who they are but we know who the collector, Chief secretary or SP or Commissioner of a district are.
There you have it, a simple demarcation of what you call 'powers' of the coveted Civil Servants. They are important positions socially as well as politically speaking but at the end of the day their core responsibility is to serve the nation and its citizens.
Hope it helped get some clarity,
Good day!

Hi Amisha,
Yes, you can definitely apply for IAS if you are a computer science engineer. For that, once you have completed your engineering degree, you have to answer an entrance exam called UPSC.
