Can I do IAS in pcb stream and after ias can I also go for mbbs????? Is this possible. What are the facter that I have face. Please guide.

ojaswiyolo Student Expert 31st Jul, 2020

Hey Chetram

You can sit in the competition, or in other words, you are very much eligible for competing in IAS exam even if you are a student of PCB. You can check the eligibility to sit in upsc exam from this link https://competition.careers360.com/articles/upsc-ias-eligibility-criteria

Now as far as MBBS is concerned you can sit in the neet exam but you will need to keep the age criteria in mind as the maximum age limit of general candidates to appear in neet is 25 years. Usually cracking upsc takes a lot of time (as you can only apply for ias after graduation , that is after bachelor in any subject) hence you will probably run out of time. It will be better if you do mbbs first and then try to compete in upsc.

sir , actually mai D-pharm (diploma in pharmacy ) complete kar liya hu , sir kya mai IAS KE liye upsc ka exam de sakta hu ?

pdwords Student Expert 27th Jul, 2020
Hello,

In order to appear for UPSC, candidates need to attain 21byears and pass Bachelor's Degree in any discipline from a recognized University, there's no specific aggregate required in this case, they can apply even in the final year of graduation.

Diploma in pharmacy is no way equivalent to graduation, so you cannot appear for UPSC with DPharm. You can complete BPharm through lateral entry and then you can try, or else you can go for some other courses in graduation.

pdwords Student Expert 27th Jul, 2020

Hello,

UPSC Civil Service Exam consists of three stages-

  • Preliminary
  • Mains
  • Interview

The first and the most important step towards preparation is to be well acquainted with UPSC Syllabus , so take a print out of it and  go through it, you can keep it near your study table, UPSC syllabus is humongous so you have to know even the minutest details of the syllabus, only if you do this you'll get to know what to read and what to skip.

Have an integrated approach while preparing for Preliminary and Mains, because  nowadays what's happening is even in prelims, UPSC frame questions based on Mains.

Reading newspaper on a daily basis is highly important,  you can start with  The Hindu, or Indian Express, for starters it may be time consuming but don't skip this step at all. Put a more emphasis on editorial part, it will not only broaden your perspective but help a lot in answer writing,and make sure whatever opinion you form it should be well balanced. You can also make notes of this,it'll be very useful in answer writing.

When it comes to reading books ,start with basics, for each subject, you can do with NCERTs for this. This will build your foundation strong,as you progress, move on to other relevant books as mentioned below;

For Prelims, refer the following books:

History ;

  • NCERT Class XI and XII
  • India's Struggle for Independence by Bipin Chandra
  • For Indian Culture, refer art and culture by Nitin Singhania

Geography ;

  • NCERT Class VI to XII
  • GC Leong's Physical Geography
  • World Atlas


Economics ;

  • NCERT Class XI
  • Indian Economy by Ramesh Singh


International Relations & Polity ;

  • NCERT XII Political Science with current affairs
  • Indian Polity by Laxmikanth


CSAT ;

  • Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning by RS Agarwal
  • M Tyra's Quicker Maths


Coming to Mains Exam, you can refer the following books for four General Studies Paper;


GS I - For History , Class XI NCERT book with India's struggle for Independence by Bipin Chandra,India after Independence by Bipan Chandra,History of Medieval India by Satish Chandra

For Geography refer World Geography and Geography of India by Majid Hussain, GC Leong's Physical and Human Geography with NCERT Class XI book.

For GS II - Polity and International Relations , refer Indian Polity by Laxmikanth,India's Foreign Policy by Rajiv Sikri

For GS III - For Economics refer Indian Economy by Ramesh Singh, read ARC report along with Economic Survey and Fiscal Budget.

For GS IV - For Ethics refer a book named Lexicon by Niraj Kumar, also you can go through study material of IGNOU.

Remember to keep resources minimal always, read one book many a times instead of many a book one time. Revision is the key here.

Start practicing answer writing in advance, even in a little way, writing mains is such a big task especially writing for 250 marks in three hours,you have to learn time-management and this will only come through practice, There are many sites which provide questions on daily basis you can avail that. Try to give a holistic viewpoint while answer writing by providing political,economical and social aspect. You can go through answer sheets of toppers easily available in UPSC preparation sites, in order to get an idea about how to present your answer and fetch more marks.

Practice previous year question paper which you can get from the site of UPSC,in addition mock papers, and test series which you can get it from any of the sites exclusively dedicated to UPSC, it's highly important to evaluate your performance while doing so.

Preparing for UPSC can become extremely tiresome experience but your dedication and single-minded focus will sail you through every challenge. Start your preparation in gradual manner, such as learning the syllabus by heart, reading The Hindu everyday, reading NCERTs for a strong foundation, go through previous year paper in order to know how well you're with the topics etc.. And then onwards move towards other important stuffs,

which is good for a better and happy life to become an ias or to become a doctor

Mayank Chowdhary 25th Jul, 2020

Hello,

It depends upon your definition of happy life. If you are the one who feel happy by doing some heavy work and help people and do administrative kind of work then go for IAS. And if you want to do some social service and are interested in Medical then go for medical.

In short choose what you like and work towards it with all your heart and dedication.

Check out these links below for entrance exams of IAS and medical.

I an in 10 class. what I have to do for becomes a IAS but I opt pcm in 11class

Pankhuri Kumari 25th Jul, 2020
Hii!
In order to become an IAS officer, there's a long way to go for you. You will have to clear the UPSC entrance exam in order to do so. The eligibility criteria for the exam states that the candidate must have completed graduation degree with minimum 50% marks in any subject stream from a recognised University.
So, it's fine if you took PCM Subject ombination in class 11. You can complete your class 12th with science stream and then go for graduation in the subject of your choice. Meanwhile keep preparing for the exam. After you complete graduation, apply for the UPSC exam and move ahed as per the requirements.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!
