Dear friend you have too much confidence on study ....i like this too much .......

after 12th you want to do preparation you will surely clear UPSC.........

if you want to start now then you can do for basics..............

Because for this exam basics should be very clear and you can start hard labour from today if you want............

But you more attention on main subject which you want to take for civil services optional subject...............

Hi friend,

Starting time of preparation depends on your talent. And your ability to

take up. Most of the candidates start their preparation in the last year.

When syllabus are considered they are little long to be typed here. So i would

like to make an attachment which shows you the syllabus for preliminary exam

and link which shows you the syllabus for Main exam.

Its not justice to limit any preparation for time period, But if you starts your preparations with graduation then it will be more beneficial for you. If you opt optional subject from the begining then you can score better than others.
Moreover, you should focus on prime stories of national and international, Deals and develop habit of have with economic related issues. To sound in english you should take a glance at english newspaper regularly.

ok, best of luck.

hello dear ,

If you really keen in doing civil services and its really good .

It need a lot of determination and hard work . why you are not starting from now . daily read related topics , it will inhance your knowledge as well as at the time when you will complete your grajuation, you will not be need of studying 12-14 hours daily. it will boost your confidence.

you will be ahead of many in term of knowlede .

in hindi there is a quote
" thode thode boond se hi ghada bharta hai "

My first suggestion is that if your final aim is civil service, then why are you going engineering , you can better do three yr graduation in subjects like pol science, economics , geography etc.
Also Btech will take four yrs.

Its also a general fact that engineers who apply for CSE rarely opt for engineering subjects as they have large content.
Yes, its true that many engineers get top ranks in CSE , most of them opt for humanities optional.

One more fact optional subjects are not only sufficient to crack CSE, a lot depend on your writting skill, general awareness & your opinion on current affairs.

So, my final suggestion is that you should opt for graduation is one these subjects:

Anthropology
Geography
Law
Management
Mathematics
Mechanical Engineering
Medical Science
Relations
Psychology
Public Administration
Sociology
Statistics

Also while in graduation keep preparing for general awareness & writting skills & communication skills.

You must start the preparation from the pre-final year of your graduation especially the current affairs and editorial pages of national dailies.
Also you must stress on reasoning and 2-3 subjects that you need to choose for the Mains.

Hello, I consider my self as a bright student but I didn't do great in my class 12th exams in 2010.I dropped after that one year for preparation of engineering enterence exam but result is not expected to be great.But still I have a great crush for IAS as I am very much interested in these subjects and have a good knowledge of basics about this exam and current affairs.I am despirate to crack this exam.So, at what time in b.tech I should start prepairing for it and as the syllabus is too wide so, to start from where.

--------- SHARAD PATHAK.

i am doing b.pharmacy last year and very desperate to crack IAS exams how to prepare at zero level is it too late

you can start preparation while you doing bachelor degree.you may thoroughly prepare for your core subject knowledge.

Being in B.tech first year with EC branch, what should be my steps for civil services examination?

I have recently given my 12 exam CBSc [commerce] and want to prepare for civil services ..... and want to know which subjects to take now ....for better preparation ....plz help????

I appreciate your interest towards civil services and to serve the country.

It is a good move from you of knowing the information required to make entry into civil services as you will be having ample time to prepare for the Civil Services Exam.

Many of the candidates do not have a proper goal or destination of what they want to be and simply complete their Graduation.

Once they complete their Graduation, they will think of for their future in the sense job or higher study.

At that time, they won't be having good amount of time for the preparation and it will take years of time for them to settle.

You don't need to worry about this.

As per preparation,

It would be better to start the preparation for this Exam as early as you can. Because Civil Services Exam is one of the toughest exam in India for the candidates.

First decided upon the stream in Graduation. You mentioned two courses
-Engineering
-B.SC Microbiology

You can opt for any of these courses as per your interest because the candidates who have completed Graduation with any of the stream are eligible to give Civil Services Exam.

The complete selection procedure would involve
CSAT Exam
Main Exam
Interview

As and when you join your Graduation, start taking coaching for civil services exam from a top coaching institute.

Carry out preparation for Civil Services Exam in parallel to your Graduation.

Wish you all the best.
