how ias and ips are selected on the basis of upsc civil services exam?

rachanapbennur 6th Oct, 2020

Hello Selvakumar!

All IAS, IPS and IFS aspirants give the common UPSC test. If there clear prelims and mains, then they are called for interview. The final ranking is based on the candidate's performance in both the exam and the interview.

Now, candidates are alloted their respective roles based on their ranking.

Each of IAS, IPS and IFS posts has different cutoffs. When the merit lists are released, candidates are asked to fill a form stating their order of preferences . The cutoff marks are in descending order for IAS, IPS and IFS. The candidate must fill the choice such that their score lies in the cutoff range of the post.

Another factor that decides the allocation process is the number of vacancies in each post. If number of vacancies are less than the number of applicants for that post, then all cannot be hired. The allotment also is based on r eservation policy as made by the government.

I am a science student, what to do after 12th to become an IAS officer

Ayush jain 24th Aug, 2020

Hello,

First of all the minimum educational qualification required to take on the IAS exam is graduation. You have to have a degree from a recognized university to attempt the IAS exam conducted by the UPSC every year. So does that mean you start preparing for the IAS exam only after your graduation? Absolutely not! If you have just finished your schooling, and are certain of your ambition to become an IAS/IPS officer and serve the nation, our advice is, start your IAS preparation right now! Don’t wait till you turn 21 or get a degree. P reparation for after 12th is a good decision if you are inclined towards becoming a civil servant. If you start your IAS preparation early, you stand a chance to clear the IAS exam and start your civil services career early. This will take you a long way in your career and you may even become the Cabinet Secretary (which is the highest IAS post in India) depending on your caliber of course .

Here I am sharing some tips to prepare for UPSC(IAS)  after class 12th :

1.Read more about the civil services. Find out about the life of a civil servant or a diplomat. If possible, talk to an IAS officer and get to know about ground realities straight from the horse’s mouth. Ask yourself is this what you truly want? If your answer is ‘yes’, read on…

2.Take up a graduation course that involves history and polity. These subjects are of immense importance to the UPSC syllabus.

5.If you would acquire a level of mastery in these subjects, you can also opt one of them as your optional subject.

6.Also, start reading public administration, economics, etc. You can even study these subjects as your main subject, all depending on your interests and aptitude.

7.Don’t lose touch with basic maths that you learned in school. This is needed for the CSAT paper in the IAS Prelims.

8.Remember to study like an IAS aspirant and not a bunking college student.

9.Make use of your college library. Read as many relevant books as possible.

10.Inculcate the habit of reading the daily newspaper and keep abreast of the latest happenings in the country and the world.

11.Work on your interpersonal skills and communication skills. Try to develop a good personality that would help you in the IAS interview later.

12.Don’t throw away your school NCERT textbooks. These are the basic books to study for the UPSC exam.

13.Learn how to make notes and start doing the same.

14.Practice previous years IAS question papers.

Hope this will help you

Best of luck

I have completed my 11th class i want to be an IAS officer so can u show me the pathway to reach my goal

pdwords Student Expert 23rd Aug, 2020
Hello,

You're still in your eleventh standard, so there is still a long way to go for you as far as UPSC is concerned, right now your priority should be to focus on your studies and do well in the upcoming years for 10+2 level exams, a when it comes to the eligibility criteria for UPSC ,you just need to pass graduation in any discipline from a recognized University, there are no barriers in terms of coming from a specific stream or aggregate for that matter, you can apply even in the final year and you need to attain 21 years.

After 12th there are two routes which you can follow, if you are humanities student and want to do graduation in the similar field such as choosing political science, geography, economics, public administration, history may help you as UPSC tends to be more humanities oriented, you should follow this only if you're wholly and solely focused on cracking UPSC.

Second thing is to have a back up plan, many engineering, medical or even CA candidates too apply for this exam and qualify, if you have some other plans in mind you can surely go ahead with that, it's in no way going to act as impediments, the reason I say these as people from different backgrounds as I mentioned above too have qualified these exams, many have had few years of experiences in their relative field as well, so if you're a bit unsure and want to have a back up plan follow this route.

Now, coming to your preparation part, you should start your preparation in gradual manner from 1st year of graduation itself and not before that(as you're still in school and your sole focus right now should be on academics), the first thing is to get acquainted with the syllabus, take a print out and go through it daily in order to grasp what to read and skip, also remember not to segregate preparation for Prelims and Mains as nowadays UPSC also frame Prelims question based on Mains Syllabus,
read The Hindu on a daily basis, and start with NCERTs books as this will build foundation strong, and then move onwards to other standard books, you will find many toppers answer sheet online, I'll recommend you to go through these as answer writing is vital process in Mains you'll be writing answers for total of 1750 marks,this process will give you a understanding of how to present your answer in an efficient manner and score well, you can watch YouTube channels as well regarding preparation of UPSC, there are many good channels which offer lot of insights by the faculty or the toppers. If you have any other query, you can write down in the comment box below.
