Selection of the candidate is made on the basis of scores secured in mains exam and interview process but before main exam the board conduct preliminary examination in which every single candidate has to qualify then only they can appear for main examination and mains exam is conducted in descriptive mode.

If candidate qualify mains exam then he/she will be called for interview process which is the most important stage to clear and if you clear and get among the rank minimum required then you will become an IAS officer in India.

First of all I would say that if you are pretty serious about preparation for this exam then you must find a very good coaching centre for this examination and start giving more than 10 hours a day for study and practice and if you work more on the subjects asked in exam then you can have good marks and crack this exam and preparation will need some time which is minimum 8-10 months to get in flow with other aspirants then only you should appear for exam and not waste your attempt because there is restriction of attempts in this exam so be sincere and go step by step carefully.

First thing I would like to let you know that IAS refers to Indian Administrative Service and for becoming an IAS officer you are required to qualify Civil Services examinations held by UPSC once every year.
