I would like to know at what level one should start preparation for civil services
I am a student of engg final year?Am i too late to start preparation from zero level?

Hello friend,
The minimum eligibility to write civil service exam is a degree from a recognised university with the age limit of 21-30 years.
So, i dont think you are too late to start the preparation for UPSC civil service. You will just need to work hard and give maximum time for its preparation as soon as you complete your graduation.

Hello friend,

No, you are not late for starting preparation of civil services exams. In fact, this is the ideal or proper time to start preparation.

You will have to take some coaching classes if you really want to crack UPSC exams.
Just always keep in touch with daily newspapers and employeement news magazines where notifications and details of these exams are given.

Prepare yourself up-to-date with aptitude tests, general knowledge etc.

Best of luck!

at least you need to take 2 years to complete the ias competition.take care to do that.

I THINK YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO SIT IN THE UPSC CSE EXAM FOR 2011 ACORDING TO YOUR AGE AS 21 YEARS OF AGE IS REQUIRED WHEN SIT FOR THE Mains EXAM AND NOT AT THE TIME OF APPLICATION.

yes, you can take history both in pre and mains as your subject but at this time instead of pre CSAT will be held in which no optional subject is needed

Yes, its the right time to involv e yourself seriously for this particular exam.
If you are really serious regarding this exam statrt your preparation because once the time passes you will not get it back.
So start now others it will be too late

i will be a software engineer then i wont have a subject related to my stream?

HELLO,
actually,it's late that you are preparing in final yr for UPSC,but it's not too late.the correct time for begining of UPSC preparation should starts from 1st yr of bachelor degree.but no problem,'if there is a will there is a way'.so start with your soul, if you have not enough study material them you can call for the correspondence from a reputed institute.
OK, BEST OF LUCK.

You are presently in the ground level.just prepare your mind.you have 4 years in your hand.just look the syllabus and choose your optional paper now.Beside this improve your english and general awareness,this is the only paper which have no certain syllabus,more you know more you learn.

Choose your optional paper very preciously,because it is a graduation level syllabus so if you choose any hard subject then it will difficult to handle both papers.

All the best.

You are presently in the ground level.just prepare your mind.you have 3 years in your hand.just look the syllabus and choose your optional paper now.Beside this improve your general awareness,this is the only paper which have no certain syllabus,more you know more you learn.English is your major subject so you have certain advantage.

Choose your optional paper very preciously,because it is a graduation level syllabus so if you choose any hard subject then it will difficult to handle both papers.but practice is needed.regular practics will be helpful to crack the nut.

All the best.

i think it is better to start preparation for UPSC civil service examination from second year of graduation.

but as you are in now fourth year so it is not too much late. try to be prepare for UPSC civil service examination from now. surely if you work hard you will be able to crack the civil service examination.

to crack the examination try to read newspaper regularly, improve your general knowledge and study some arts subject like history, geography, political science etc.

best wishes.

Hi!

You are not too late to start preparation for UPSC civil services exam if you are planning to appear in CSE next year i.e. CSAT, 2012. But if you wish to appear in CSE in your final year only i.e. CSAT, 2011 then you are a little late.

It will be better if you will appear in next year because in this way you will be able to get an idea of CSAT exam which is being introduced from the current year.

Anyways if you interested in joining civil services then you should start your preparation from the final year itself because CSE is one of the toughest exam in india.

Hey, its never too late for preparation.

As you know the pattern of IAS exam is going to change from next year to CSAT you need to fill in certain criteria like age,nationality,qualification.

After completing your graduation just go through your old History and Civics book along with Geography,because these are the minimum subjects you need to know about.You can get the syllabus and other such details in the following link

http://www.upscportal.com

all the best,prepare well.

well kiran,
don't think that you have been too late to prepare, you still can do every thing.
nothing is impossible for you if you have real determination and power to adapt things so smoothly.

preparing for IAS exam needs very much concentration, determination and hard work,without them you can't even think of cracking any exam.

indian admistrative services are one of the best exam and a reputed entry in administrative services.

you are a final year student right. if left with less months then try to take a crash course outside and keep hard work on each and evey problem.
if you concentrate on study materials given by the coaching centers they really will gonna help you a lot.

and pattern of the exam you might be knowing right!!!
according to them you start preparing for it now itself.
good luck.

Hello friend,

This will be the right time to start the preparation. I think you know your knowledge levels in the subjects of the preparation. Just by analyzing that decide yourself of how many hours to spend in a hour for the preparation.

be optimistic and put your best efforts, know th shortcuts very well and go through some previous papers. All the best
