Tips for IAS Exams


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

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.

BEST OF LUCK

hi..
actually there is no computer science subjects in the ias examination,
and also this from this year the pattern of the preliminary exam has changed so you have to be really careful in selecting your subject,
according to me the best option for selecting the subjects would be to choose those subjects whose syllabus overlaps with the general studies paper because in that case your work load would be reduced a little bit ,
also you have to work really hard and taking some sort of coaching will be really help full
raos academy in Hyderabad is one of the best coaching centers for ias in the country .

--> Hey friend,

generally the govt. of different states put the exams for IAs,IPs and IPC officers.. so when the seats will be available from govt. or you can check from google anytime for the vacant seats for ias or ips.

and govt. also give you the online or offline exam date,you need to just refer newspapers daily and fill the particular form when applicable..


on that govt.job website books for refering ias or ips will be given,you just need to download that or take the names just from website or subject names of IAs and purchase it from your nearer book-store.


and cultivate the habbit for checking govt.jobs daily 4 recruitment ok good luck

21 to 33 for the obc category candidates and 21 to 35 for the sc/st category candidates.

2) main exam
3) interview

according to the overall score in the ias exam the overall all india rank is determined.
all these three parts of the exam are dependant on each other .
