Firstly, I would like to tell you that do not restrict yourself to just KAS or the KPS exam. Aim to clear the UPSC examination with the good marks/rank in Karnataka, so that you get a chance to get allotted in the Karnataka cadre.

- Go for mock test at every interval. There any forums where you can register yourself and take the test online and check your progress time to time.
