Hello friend,
First of all, try to concentrate on your final year exam. As soon as you complete your B.Com, you will be eligible to appear for civil service exam, conducted by UPSC.
The compulsary subject in the Preliminary exam for IAS is General studies.
and, the compulsary subjects for the Main exam are one Indian language, English, Essay and General studies.

Following are the optional subject from which one can select any subject depending upon the area of expertise.
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.

Now, time taken for preparation depends upon the candidates intelligence and hard work. Try to select optional subject depending upon your area of expertise. Since you are from commerce background, you may opt for commerce, Economics or the subject you are comfortable with.
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.
So, time taken for preparation depends upon the level of your preparation and the more you work hard, more will be the chances of cracking the IAS exam.

it is not possiable to say that how much time is require to crack the IAS exam.

generally time is varied man to man. but if you can do lots of hard work for IAS preparation,then you can crack IAS exam with in a one year.

if you take history,geograpy,and arts related paper. then IAS will be eassy to crack.

best of luck...........

Hello,

It is good to know that you want to appear for Civil Service Exam and be an IAS officer.
Well first of all, as rightly said by above wanting to appear is one thing and then getting a good result is another. You really have to work very very hard as i know many people who have been working very hard but yet have not succeeded in their goal. I think it is the right time for you start your preparations. Join an institute offering coaching for the same, as they can give you very good guidance which you cant get on your own. Go through the previous years papers if available to you so that you may get an idea of what kind of questions may come. If possible, if you know that any IAS officer, then stay in touch with him, he may provide you the guidelines of how he prepared for the same.

Well for main, you may select economics, as people with economics have a strong background and knowledge and get selected better.

Good Luck.!

its totally depends upon you,.
if you have well command in any of the subject given in the list of the IAS examination,and if you are hardworking and have very planned manner for preparation then i think one year is sufficient for the preparation.

hi
well you can start the prepration right from now onward you can prearrange for the general knowledge part and you can also prepare for the subjects which you are selecting for the exam
as a b.com student you can chose the commerce or even you can go for the economics

There is not any limitation for the preparation of the IES exam ,as you have mentioned that you are hard working so you can prepare it it in one year,one year more then enough ..

Just go and join any good coaching center and then you will get lots of material for the preparation of the IES exam......

Just concentrate and devote your most of the time in studying,one thing more is that you must solve the previous year papers,it will help you a lot.

All the best.

hello friend..
see it totally depends upon you,and how much effort you can give to your studies and how concentrately you can study.i think it would be better to take 1year coaching classes which will guide to prepare as well as your own effort behind it.go to stalls buy the best books available in the market,and study properly..

It all depends on your dedication towards the entrance exam

About Preliminary Exam preparation :
- one paper is optional i.e. your choice
- One paper is compulsory i.e. General Studies.

- Now i will tell you how to prepare for General Studies(GS) paper.
- if one wants to have command over GS, then he has to prepare 8 major area i.e.
History
Geography
Polity
Science
Economy
Mental Abiltiy
Current Affairs
General Knowledge.

- For all the above topics, best way to start is from Basics i.e. NCERT Books of Class 6th to Class 12th.
- For History - NCERT + Spectrums Modern India
- Geography - NCERT + GoCheng leong + a good atlas like orient longman/oxford.
- Polity - NCERT + any good guide book like laxmikanth's indian polity/ Jojo mathews's Indian constitution and polity.
- Science - i think Ncert class 6th to class 12th is more than enough.
- Economy - NCERT class 11th and 12th + pratiyogita darpan's special issue on indian economy + Read and make notes of newspaper about current economy.
- Mental Ability - R.s.Agarwal.
- Current Affairs - one has to be thorough with newspaper readings of atleast one year back from the date of exam.
- General Knowledge - India year book + Manorama year book or Chronicle year book.

- if one is thorough with the above topics from the above materials, then he/she will definitely crack this exam easily.

Hi!

There is no fixed duration for preparation of IAS. It depends on the candidate's potential to crack civil services exam. Some candidates clear the exam in one attempt with a few months prepration while others take a no. of attempts with years of prepration. So, it all depends on your knowledge, ability & hard work. Generally 1 year preparation is sufficient.

If you are serious about making your career in civil services then it is the right time to start studying.

For mains choose the subject over which you have good command.
