How To Prepare For IAS

IAS Examination is actually known as the Civil Services Exam conducted by UPSC for IAS and IPS..

There are 3 stages to be cleared for achieving your goal :

> Preliminary Round (also known as CSAT)
> Mains
> Personal Interview

The Civil Services Aptitude Test(CSAT) consists of 2 papers which are common for all candidates appearing for Civil Services..

These papers are based on General Awareness and General Studies and Aptitude..

All those candidates who clear the Preliminary round shall qualify for the next stage which is the Mains

The Mains round will test you on the basis of written English and the optional subjects that you opt for from your graduation subjects..

Then finally those who clear the Mains shall qualify for the final Personal Interview round..

These are some books which you can refer to for your preparations :
