During bsc or after Bsc from botany zoology chemistry which subjects I have to focused If I want to become an IAS officer??!!

Sayan 12th Aug, 2022

Hello,

For the IAS exam, you can enroll in any bachelor's course. It would be great if you figured this out and solely pursued your bachelor's in this discipline as you are already clear that you want to choose Botany/Zoology as optional studies. The optional subjects are crucial to the IAS exam. Even if you are uncertain about this, you should choose B.SC (Zoology, Botany, Chemistry). Because you would be able to study both botany and zoology in this, and you could also choose an optional subject at the end.

  • There are certain necessary and advisable books like Lakshmikant for polity, spectrum for Modern History, RS Sharma for Ancient History, Economics NCERT for economics, GC Leong for Geography, etc.
  • For dynamic subjects like International Relations, one can take notes or printed materials from any coaching institute and newspaper is must for these subjects.

These are standard resources for UPSC. For optional you can search for best notes.

how to become IAS after complete bba ? how many years to become IAS after bba

pranjalg462 29th Jul, 2022

Make a legitimate schedule so you can finish your prospectus on time.

Begin perusing The Hindu paper. It will truly help you.

Take the schedule and earlier year papers of this test and dissect them. Figure out what is the idea of the test, what sort of inquiries UPSC poses, and what is the degree of strength. You will get an unmistakable picture that will help you in the long haul. This investigation will assist you in fostering a way to deal with perusing books from this test point of view.

Begin your readiness from NCERT books.

It will take 2-3 years on average to become an IAS.

Hi, my daughet named Ananya is interested to take up IAS exam in future as she is just in her 6th standard. Can i get some help on how to prepare her from now so that she cracks her exam well in future.

Narayani 2nd Sep, 2022

Hey!

My advice to you would be that as of now your daughter Ananya is too young to even be thinking about the preparation.

There’s still almost about 10 years before she will even be eligible to appear for the exam.

There however is a small tip that i have learnt over the years which is that the most important study source for UPSC CSE are NCERTs.

Although she doesn’t have to study it with that perspective but if one keeps their basics of the ncert clear there preparation becomes a thousand times easier.

But right now is truly the sparking age of her childhood. Let her blossom and come to a point where she is ready to take on all these responsibilities.

All the best for your future pursuits!

Feel free to ask more questions and queries.

I havr kerataconus am I eligible for ias

Abhishek Raykar 27th Jul, 2022

Hello User,

Hope you are doing well.

If it’s treatable, it shouldn’t be a problem. But if it affects vision or if there is any possibility for vision degeneration in the future, then it may be an issue.
Physical and medical fitness for the services differ for technical (IPS etc where requirements are more) and non- technical services (IAS etc)

It is given in much detail in this notification: (from page 12) https://persmin.gov.in/ais1/Docs/Appendix-III.pdf

Better to check with an ophthalmologist with these details and get their advice.

Hope this will help you....Good Luck!
