Kindly tell me, how can I prepare myself for IAS Enterance Examination

Please reply
thanks

Hello friend,
Since you need to qualify the Preliminary exam first of all, you must not bother about the Main Examination right now. The Preliminary exam has been replaced by Civil Service Aptitude Test (CSAT) from this year onward.
Here I am providing you with the CSAT syllabus which is going to be conducted the very first time.

The CSAT will have two compulsory papers carrying 200 marks each.

Paper 1
Current events of national and international importance
History of India and Indian national movement
Indian and World Geography- physical, social, economic geography of India and the world
Indian Polity and governance – constitution, political system, panchayati raj, public policy, Rights issues, etc.
Economic and social development – sustainable development, poverty, inclusion, demographics, social sector initiatives etc.
General issues on environmental ecology, bio-diversity and climate change
General science.

Paper 2
Comprehension
Interpersonal skills including communication skills
Logical reasoning and analytical ability
Decision making and problem solving
General mental ability
Basic numeracy (numbers and their relations, orders of magnitude etc. (Class X level),
Data interpretation (charts, graphs, tables, data sufficiency etc. –Class X level)
English language comprehension skills (Class X level)

Each and every personnel will have their own style of preparation...

so you should follow your own style..

I can only just suggest you some tips how to prepare..

->first strongly determine that you're going to get a rank in the coming exam

->do research on syllabus pattern and paper pattern

->sit for preparation before 6 months (If you're average student like me)

or else 3 months is sufficient.

->make your preparation plan in to three parts

->part 1 total syllabus

->part 2 revision of total syllabus

->part 3 practice tests of three parts..

->finally attempt your exams with confidence

thats all if your are perfect in planning and implementation you will get a good rank according to your desire.

best regards

You did not mention your highest qualification.

In order to be eligible for IAS exam, one should have bachelors degree with any of the stream from a recognized institute.

One should be in the age group of 21-30 years to be eligible for the exam.,

The Selection pattern will be by
-CSAT (Civil Services Aptitude Test)
-Main Examination
-Interview.

To crack the CSAT exam, be good enough in current affairs and aptitude questions which are part of CSAT.

For to be good enough in current affairs, concentrate on following aspects
-National affairs
-International affairs
-Bilateral affairs
-Sports
-Awards
-Books and authors
-Persons in news.

For aptitude, you can prepare R.S.Agarwal book

Read newspaper regularly and thoroughly. prepare notes on it, segregating your notes under different headings like:

polity, economics, national, international, sports etc. this practice will definitely help you to prepare for your general studies. this is only a part of your preparation.

other important tips

1. Be very particular about the subject you choose for prelims, as you will be appearing for an objective type of paper. History, maths, geography may prove to be very scoring. Choose subjects which have availability of books, reading material and guidance. In recent years engineering subjects like civil and electrical can be chosen, giving BEs and IITians an edge (yes! even here they are giving the BAs and BScs a tough fight!)

2. G.K. will definitely pay in your prelims. Reading newspapers, watching TV news and of course quiz shows like KBC is a must.


3. If you have been lucky enough to reach the interview stage book knowledge may not be the only thing you need. Your mental alertness will count as they ask you questions like “How many steps did you walk up to reach here?” or “ What is the colour of the wall behind you ?” - So be prepared.

4. Enhance your personality because it will definitely be one of the criteria for selection. For IPS physical wellbeing is of great importance, you should be medically fit.

5. Improve your communication skills. IFS aspirants must be proficient in at least one foreign language. So go ahead, have your say in this political mess of our country and try to make it a better place.

Dear,
For the preparation of the IAS exam , General awareness is must.
Your general awareness will only be strong if you have the habit of reading the newspapers.
You must also subscribe for various other competitive books which are about the current affairs.
You also prepare the history and civics part . ICSE books are always good for it as they have a detailed syllabus.
I have also attached a few papers .
