  • The first stage of the exam is Preliminary examination (objective )

  • The second stage, Mains (written).

  • If you manage to clear both prelims and mains then you are to go through third stage i.e interview/personality test .

Also , one has to cover a wide syllabus of UPSC which includes subects like :-
  • Indian Polity,
  • History,
  • Indian Economy,
  • Science and Technology,
  • Environment and Ecology,
  • International Relations and associated current affairs etc. For complete syllabus go through

So , Upsc examination is quite tough


but it doesn't mean that it is made for only brilliant candidates, every year a number of average students work hard and prepare well with dedication and appear for UPSC examination and not only appear but also clear it and become an IAS officer as well .

So , you can also definitely clear UPSC examination and can be an IAS officer provided you are ready to work hard and remain dedicated and focus towards your studies and preparation for UPSC examination.

Hii!
See, the eligibility criteria for applying for UPSC exam, your path to become an IAS, is that the candidate must have completed graduation with minimum 50% marks in any Subject stream from a recognised university. So, you can choose to go for any College of your choice and do any course of your choice. Upsc covers all the Subjects such as Gk, current affairs, geography, history, science, etc.,
So, the Subject choice for graduation is yours.
You can also take up coaching besides graduation for preparing for the exam.
Hope this helps.

I am studying Maths-Bio.Currently, i am at 12th grade.Which course should I take to become an IAS? How much cut off mark did i want to take to get a scholarship?

ADITYA KUMAR Student Expert 4th Jun, 2020

Hi

You can choose any subject  of your choice based on your interest after your 10+2 for your graduation,

this is because to be eligible for UPSC or the IAS examination there is no compulsion to be a graduate in a particular subject, all you need to be eligible is that you should be a graduate in any discipline


So you can choose any stream of your interest, but yes if you are interested in Arts then choosing Arts or the humanities as your stream can be really helpful for your UPSC or the IAS examination, this is because in Arts you will be learning subjects like history , polity etc which are a part of the UPSC syllabus so it will help you in your upsc examination.

Thank you

Pritam Singh 4th Jun, 2020

Hey there

UPSC civil services exam is conducted every year and those who qualify for the exam get selected for various posts like IAS, IFS, IPS. So collector is an old name to DM and IAS after getting promotions they become DM and not directly join as DM.

which college is best for degree with IAS coaching in A.P

Sonali Sahu Student Expert 2nd Jun, 2020

Hello,

No degree college provide coaching for IAS. if you are aspiring for IAS then you have to prepare for Civil exam yourself. You have to prepare and plan your time so that you can give time to your degree and your civil exam preparation.

To clear civil exam, you have to give great amount of effort. So it is better to get trained for it. it would be better if you join best coaching center in your locality which will provide best environment for practice. You will get competition, rush in performing well, Self- inspiring to increase score.

Hope it helps!

i am a student from biology stream i wish to become an ias which degree can i prefer

Ayush Anand 29th May, 2020

Hello ,

For becoming an IAS officer there is no restriction of degree choice , you can choose any degree of your own choice but remember one thing that is all the degrees you choose must be a graduation degree eg - BA , BSc , BTech , MBBS etc even students having post graduation degree can appear in UPSC exam . So any degree is preferable but must be atleast graduation because that is a necessary condition for eligibility .

But it is a general perception of taking BA in social sciences as questions are asked majorly from these subjects but you can have any degree of your own choice and then opt for exam . But for exam you must have knowledge about Indian History , Political Science , Indian Geography , General Studies and Current affairs , so apart from degree programs of your own choice you can join online coachings or coachings near by your college or even prepare on your own through different books , websites and YouTube etc.

Here is links which tells you about Eligibility criteria and exam pattern based on which you can make your decision :-

Should a 11th class student start preparing for UPSC ( IAS ) from 11th class ownwards itself or from college ownwards ?

Surmayee Gupta 29th May, 2020

Hi Raghav ! UPSC has got a vast syllabus ,but basics are always important . I would advise you to study sincerely whatever is there in course . But don't sweat it. Just cover the syllabus in your course properly.

During the final year of graduation , you can start preparing for the exam in a structured manner. Now if your basics are strong , it would prove to be the brownie  point for you , as you would only have to brush them up , and focus on learning the new content more.
Hope my answer would clear your doubt.
