I want to become IAS but is architecture(B.arch) a good backup plan for it?

pdwords Student Expert 24th Sep, 2020

Hello,

There is no such restriction in terms of graduation subject when it comes to UPSC exam, as its eligibility criteria states passed Bachelor's Degree in any discipline from a recognized university, and to further corroborate this point people from diverse backgrounds appear for this exams such as engineering, medical, commerce etc, the planning, preparation, dedication, and single-minded focus remains the same for every aspirant, if you aren't so sure of having a career in government service specifically speaking UPSC, then it's good to have a back up plan, there are many people who qualify this exam even while working, of course one rule doesn't apply to all, it depends on individuals, their capacity, priority, time management skills, but then nothing is impossible, another important thing you have to remember is the preparation process will take one year and you'll be giving exams of three stages in another year, so it basically spans over two year of your life, the process isn't as quick as say perhaps in case of bank recruitment which usually gets done within a span of few months or a year, so think through it all and then take a decision accordingly, IAS is not only one of the most coveted position in government service, it comes only after one has put in enough dedication, focus, diligence as you must be well be aware of the humongous syllabus it has, also you need to have an inherent inclination towards learning about your country in every manner, for instance if you don't like humanities subject like economics, history, polity etc it'll be very hard to deal with the exam, you have to enjoy the process as there will be tough moments that you have to sail through, this exam tests perseverance like no other exam.

Hello

It's good to see you determined about your ambition to be an IAS even in high school standard.

Union Public Service Commission conducts Civil Services examination every year for the recruitment of candidates for Indian Administrative Services (IAS) . The selection process of UPSC IAS consists of three stages - prelims exam, mains exam and personal interview.

If you are interested in Civil Services Examinations, I advise you to go for humanities stream after your class 10. Be consistent and study NCERT books thoroughly, especially social science subjects. Make your concepts of mathematics clear. Make your own notes and revise as much as possible. This is what you can do at your academic level.

After your class 12, go for the graduation in Arts so that your preparation for Civil Services Exam becomes easy for you. Remember, you need to be patient and punctual about your preparation for this exam. There's no shortcut to crack IAS examination. Determination and hard work is the key to success.

You can also join a coaching class for a better guidance.

pdwords Student Expert 22nd Sep, 2020

Hello,

In order to appear for UPSC, you need to complete your graduation in any discipline from a recognized university, there is no specific aggregate required in this case, you need to attain 21 years and can apply even in the final year, if you're wholly and solely focused on cracking UPSC exam only, then having humanities stream at 10+2 and graduation level will help a lot, you can pursue graduation in any subject such as political science, public administration, geography, economics, history or even integrated law etc, as UPSC is more humanities oriented so having these subjects will help you in preparation process as you'll already be well acquainted with the subjects, now the thing is right now you're only in Xth Standard and you have a long way to go before appearing for UPSC exam, so if you have any other aspirations of pursuing courses such as engineering, medical, commerce etc, you can go ahead with these options only, it's good to have back up plans as well in case of UPSC, and let me tell know even if you pursue your higher studies in any field other than humanities, you still can appear and crack this exam, the reason I'm saying this to you because you're still young, and if you see toppers of this exam, they come from diverse backgrounds, more importantly the planning, preparation, dedication and single-minded focus remains the same for every aspirant.

I want to become civil servant (IAS )which one is the best way degree or engineering and ECE is the best branch or not for job opportunities? which branch is best in degree and which branch is best in engineering

Aditi amrendra Student Expert 31st Oct, 2020

Hello,

If you want to become a civil service you will have to crack UPSC CSE examination. The eligibility criteria required for appearing in the exam is a bachelor's degree in any stream. If you want to have a little extra edge then you can go for humanities subject for graduation because it will help you to some extent for upsc because most of the topics in upsc is based on humanities subject. But if you want to have a back option considering uspc is very tough examination and success percentage is very low then engineering can be a good option. As far as best branch in engineering is concerned, Computer science engineering has more job prospects in comparison to other branches but you can take any branch of your choice. Its totally your choice which you think is better option for you.

I hope this helps.
