best of luck.

Dear frend,
its very good that in first year only you have started thinking for IAS....so my suggestion to you is keep studying your subjects thorouly and for the time being start reading general science.......after that you can start fot the mains exams
wish you all the best!!!!!!

Hello friend,

The best thing you should do right now is to concentrate on your BTech. programme. Since you are in the first year, you have enough time to prepare for the IAS exam.

In the IAS exam, you will have to appear for compulsary papers like General studies, English, Essay . So you need to have good command over english language and general studies.

Apart from compulsary papers, you will also have the option of selecting any paper from the following list of subjects.
Agriculture Mathematics, Animal Husbandry & Vetinary Science, Mechanical Engineering Botany, Medical Science, Chemistry, Philosophy, Civil Engineering, Physics, Commerce,Political Science ,Economics ,Psychology Electrical Engineering Public Administration, Geography, Sociology, Geology, Statistics, Indian,History, Zoology,Law.


There are many books available in the book stores you can go through for the preparation of the exam. You must not restrict yourself to a single book written by a particular author. Try to read books written by as many authors as possible. Apart from preparing from reference books, you may also enroll yourself to a good institute or coaching center which prepares candidates for such examinations.

I would suggest you to take one step at a time and so, first of all, complete your BTech. programme and then give your 100% for the preparation of IAS exam.

hi, ur planning is nice.u can go a head .But dont neglect regular studies .prepare first NCERT BOOKS frm 9,10,11 12 classes.u will rock...!

dear friend,
your dream is very appriciatable regarding IAS.

No doubt now a days IAS is most prestigious exam of India, & most of the graduates think about it.

As you a student of EEE in 1st year, so i would like to make an advise for you that kindly do thorough study of your departmental subjects, you will have to choose two out of them as a main paper for IAS.

& for preparation for PT you should always read newspaper & always touch with current affairs.

Now pattern of IAS exam has changed , so you have to study reasoning as well as maths also.

& read monthly magazine like Chronical, Pratoyita darpan etc which will help you to prepare for IAS exams & interviews.

good luck.

After B.tech you can go for IAS.The eligibility for IAS is graduation with at least 50% marks. Your age should not be less than 21 years and not more than 30 years. There will prelims and main exam followed by an interview.

Hello friend,
Yes offcourse you can go for IAS exam. But as you are in first year of engineering you must have to complete your B.tech before appearing for IAS.
The general criteria for IAS will be graduation in any discipline of education and the candidate must not exceed 27 year of age.
So the are the basic eligibilities for appearing in IAS exam.
So first you complete your B.Tech ,this is the first path for IAS.
Good luck!!!!!!!

you can apply for the ias exam after completion of your btech. since you are in first year only so you must concentrate on your studies only. you can start preparing for the exam in third year. right now don,t get diverted. just try to get good marks in btech because the exam of ias will contain some questions from your btech subjects.

dear friend
After b.tech you can go for IAS by giving the UPSC EXAM .

Hello Friend

The following branches can apply for the IAF exam ,Electronics,Tele-communication, Electrical, Electrical Communication, Electronics & Communication, Instrumentation, Computer Science & Engineering.....

So try hard hard and focus on english and your b.e.more bcoz engineering also is not easy.......

dear friend,

yes u can go for IES after doing Btech, for that u just have to complete ur graduation, after that u can appear for IAS, u will get some administrative jobs under govt, like directors, secretary to PM, CM..

if u have interest in this field then u can go for IAS...

hi....this is a better move...........
u will hav lots of power.but its not easy......
bst of luck....

Sir i am in 3rd year b.tech electronics n comm. i have a definate aim for IAS . my english is my stronghold.But i wonder if my electronics subject create any hinderance. I mean should i also think of subject like history instead of my electronic subject..until now my b.tech percent is 80

Yes, you can go on for IAS exam after your betch final exams and you should be 21 years of age which is requiered qualification

yes you can prepare for the IAS examination after b.tech because for ias preparation a student should have graduate..thanking you..best of luck...

Hai friend!

You got a goal in your mind and in your thoughts, thats great. Keep that grace till you succeed.

Since you are in the first year of your graduation there is lot more of time to prepare for IAS exam. Absolutely you can write IAS exam after your graduation.

There is no special preparation needed for this four years of college life but you can do so many things that will help you in the exam during B.Tech. All you need to do is keep up to date with the current affairs and your branch subjects. English is one of the most important prospect for IAS, so please improve your English as much as you can. You have to get a good percentage of marks, so that you will have confidence to write your IAS exam. After B.Tech there are lots of coaching centers which will teach you everything that comes into the account of IAS exam.

Good luck!

Dear friend
As a matter of fact electronics subject is not going to help you at all from the UPSC point of view. So your confusion is very much reasonable.
But in this situation I would recommend you to take your BTech serious to that extent so that your grades till now remains maintained.
Its good that you are definite for your aim but if any thing wrong happens you may need your BTech.
For now you take your BTech as full time and keep UPSC part time. Once you complete your Btech keep it completely aside and take UPSC as full time.
You can start your preparation now by making habit of reading news papers(THE HINDU) and Magazines(Chronicle, Pratiyogita Darapan, CSR). It will build your current affairs and help in General Studies. After 3-4 months you can start your preparation by going through mains subject as well. Give it 2-3 hours daily. It will be good enough for now.
Thank You

Dear,first of all you should complete your B.Tech with good score.This is good step, you can start your preparations form 1st year B.Tech.Do Work Hard and good luck.

You are in first year, I think you should focus on your studies and on the other side you should increase your knowledge in other fields, because in IAS entrance exam there are questions from other subjects like general knowledge, history, geography, english, reasoning,etc.
so..all the best for your future..

do well in your life and don't take any decision in hurry..

dear friend ,
you can go for IAS after completing your B-tech with at least 50% marks.So concentrate on your graduation and refer two news papers daily for updating your self with the current affairs.Take short notes of day to day events and that book will help you very much.After completing B-tech you can give full concentration on your optional papers....Read lot !think lot! I think that is the success formula of IAS.
Good luck friend...!

hi....
its a really nice idea to take up IAS after btech,...during your course you focus on subjects like aptitude,general studies,general english.... once you complete your graduation ,you can take up IAS exam..

good luck

You can join the coaching centers if you feel comfortable in handling both your B.tech course along with the training provided in the Institute.If you feel some what stress in handling both the subjects then its better that you join the training course when your in the final year of your graduation course.

Well,as you have mentioned that its your dream to qualify in CSAT hence its better that you go through the coaching process from the first year itself.

But before joining any coaching center make sure that your good in the basic part i.e history and Civics,Geography,English.You can just go through the syllabus in the following site

http://syllabus.iupsc.com/csat/

As you see the syllabus consists of the basic part hence its better that you
prefer books of Goyal Brothers Prakashan/NCERT of 9th and 10th ICSE/CBSE standards.For current events its better that you read "The Hindu" newspaper daily.

There are many Institutes all over India but only few Institutes has got the top mark success.So,choose the Institute based on your locality in the following site

www.civilserviceindia.com/ias-coaching/

Hello Friend,
As you said IAS is your dream, then you should definitely go for it.
To become IAS you will have to qualify UPSC Civil Services Exam which is conducted every year.
The first step is that you should know about this exam properly i.e. its pattern, syllabus and the scheme of questions asked through previous year asked questions. The syllabus for the exam is given on the www.upsc.gov.in
So, to qualify the exam please select your subject for the exam and labour hard on the subjects to get command on the subjects.
Besides the optional subjects you should also keep working hard on GS, and also on aptitude paper.
You must finish History and Geography of Class 11 and 12 also.
You can also join coaching institutes to know about the exams more deeply and the pattern of questions asked, and for methods of preparations.
You should also spent time in self study which is the key to success and also be honest with your studies.
Good Luck.
