Sir, I am doing B.Tech Computer Science..I would like to appear for the IAS exam. But going through the exam structure iam confused in choosing the optional subjects since none of them come from Computer Science background.Can u please suggest the subjects that prove fruitful to me to achieve success in these examination?

hi

You can choose any course from the list of optional subjects available For the Civil services exam. You should take subjects according to your educational backgraound and Interest.

best of luck

here your question is totally concerned about my wish, but as a matter of fact you are the one who is going to appear for the IAS exams and not me so my suggestion for you may be or may not be as fruitful in terms of applying it in practice but you have to follow some simple steps without getting nervous. so i will suggest you in very simple way irrespective of whomsoever tells you whatever about the preparation just choose the subject as per the priority i.e
1. your intrest.
2. if you think you can handle the subject, then go for it.
3. if you like technical studies, then opt for it.
4. if you don't then go for some simple subjects like literture ones.
5. & if you are totally confused then best option is look for a good IAS coaching centre and ask them which subject they can teach and you can grasp..
that is the last way out for choosing a subject in a total mind black out situation.. ihope that will help you to some extent ,, bbye take care and good luck..

Any indian graduate student are eligible for I A S exam .
you choose public administration and geography...
history is also good so you go through these subjects
deeply ...
do not confuse you are not from these subjects '.
because many engineers selected by I A S every year...
do not waste time go study..
all the best

as we know that all the graduates are eligible for giving I A S exam.....i understand that most of the paper of I A S are different from your computer background...so you choose that subject in optional which is mostly closest to your field...okkk

Hey Friend
its true the educational background you come from have no option in IAS with regards to subjects so my friend don't worry about that and pick anyone which you think that you can do best.

it depends on the course in which you are really interested in.i would say to go for an subject in which you were good at school
all the best

I think friend you must choose your subject as per your interest and knowledge .if there is no subject related to your computer science subject that you studied at present ...then you can go and choose on the basis of your past knowledge
best of luck

thaanx a loot for the suggestion..i'l definitely start wrkng on it..

I think maybe cracking the Indian Engineering Service(IES) wold be easier to you than the IAS.

Hi....
Friend you can choose any course from the list of optional subjects available For the Civil services exam.

Hi,
Diploma is not at all eligible to write IAS Examination. You need to be a graduate from a recognised University to appear for the IAS Examination,. If you hav any possibility of pursuing the graduate degree, It can be correspondance or From recognised Open University, doestnot matter. If so,Then do it to be Eligible for IAS.

Good Luck.

Hi,
You can take any subject or subjects, But should choose based on your interest. If you are with your interesting subject, Obviously it wont bore you and sure wont disturb your core subject. Sociology and physical adminstration are considered easy subjects. History and geography will be story'taining but lengthy. So its up to you to choose.

Good Luck.

Hi,
Obviously good. Appropriate time to start preparing for CAT would be 8 months before the CAT Exam. Do start a seperate thread to gain good Knowledge. You are into a wrong thread.

Good Luck.

Hi,
No. Sorry. You need to complete your Graduation to become eligible for UPSC IAS Examination. If you are not ready to spare after your BTech, Then it is not possible for you to consider IAS.
Good Luck.

so you have to choose, another subjects for attain the IAS exam.

all the best........

hai,
try to choose history or civics as the opptional you will get good score with these subjects

Hi all members,

i have been pursued as a software engineer in a well known company for 7 months, and since my schooling i had a dream to become a IAS offficer but circumstances pushed me towards engg. i did my B.E. in C.S.E. in 2009, and now
i would like to prepare for IAS but there are two difficulties in front o me:-
1. should i quit my job for preparing IAS? i.e. i might be facing job crisis in future.
2. the same question which has been asked by many people,since i am from C.S.E. background so i opt for which subject?

i need your suggestion on above mentioned question.

Hi all members
I m a student of B.tech 3rd year in C.S.E ,it is my dream to become an IAS officer .I m very confused about the selection of book which i have to referred for my preparation and which subject i have to select.
I need your suggestions plz guide me .

Hi, Like others i m also confuse that what should i do? m.tech or mba?

Dear,

Yes you can do IAS after qualifying B.tech.

any graduate can attempt for ias exam provided he/she must be indian.

so all the best

hi,
ya you can appear this exam. but you optional subject is diffrent you branch.

I strongly think that u r confused about what to choose. So kick off these confusions as soon as possible. I think it would be better for u to join coaching. There u will be able to discuss ur problems. And last but not least study only those subjects which u can grasp.

hi,
I am also a computer Sc. graduate. I understand your situation very well. There is subject choice for computer science graduates. So you need to be very carefull in choosing optional subjects for prelims and for mains. Most of the CS students opt for mathematics, but i will suggest if you were good in history then go for it. It is quite interesting and will benefit you during the interviews.

Hello friend,
The first important factor is ..the exam structure is going to be changed from this year. so first have a look at it. Other fact is that if u want to get through CSE , start focousing on general knowledge , become a avid reader of newspaper and if possible start reading some popular magazine.
And about other subjects - u can select the optionals from list given by UPSC whichever u like.
Improve u essay writting skills.
There are some good coaching institutes like Khan academy, Rau IAS study circle ... but remember coaching is not necessary

everyone is eligible for IAS exams and you are having computers in your graduations, but theres nothing to do with IAS exam

writing exam of IAS need little determination,hard work and..concentration

with these qualities and other references like
books, coaching class and helpers..you can have more knowledge towards cracking IAS

and best of luck for your future

regards
~~

course format for IAS???????????????
