Re: Is MBA before IAS helpful?

It will be an added advantage for you by completing MBA course.

But it will take 2 years of time to complete MBA course which is a Post Graduation level course.

The minimum academic qualification that is required for the candidates to apply for civil services is by completion of Graduation with any of the stream.

In such a case, you can apply for civil services soon after the completion of your B.Tech course.

Moreover civil services is one of the toughest exam in India that requires good amount of preparation to crack it.

So, my suggestion would be to please concentrate towards the preparation for civil services exam.

MBA course, you can do it in distance learning also.

You can do that you are placed in civil services.

However the final decision is of your interest.

Wish you all the best.

Re: Is MBA before IAS helpful?

basically MBA will not be much helpful in this regard.

Since your final goal is Civil service, then opting for MBA to make your way easy to reach there is not a good option.

However, if you really wants to persue the course which will be much helpful for getting through civil services then opting for master degree in subject like- Political science, History, English etc. is a smart option.

It will help you allot in getting through Civil service entrance.

However, going for MBA through CAT, XAT will be little bit good option because the GD & PI faced there will help you during 3rd step selection of Civil Service, if you able to clear first 2 ones.

More or less which degree you are earning will not much effect, because Civil service syllabus and the whole entrance is a different thing, even a MA history candidate can not be sure that he/she will score best in history paper of preliminary or main.

Civil Service requires Entirely different Concept and level of preparation.

Re: Is MBA before IAS helpful?

dear friend
we cant just tell you precisely how much time is required to prepare foe IAS exam , because IAS preparation is a long process , there are some people who started their preparation when they where in schools ,usully what people do is that after graduation or any other course they spent one whole year just for the IAS preparation , and also the duration may depend up on the ability of the person . any way what i want to tell you that , don't wait for an opportunity to start studying ,rather you start your preparation when you are doing any other studies .

Re: Is MBA before IAS helpful?

Opting for a civil service is a good choice after graduation. But that should be a dedicated one. Choosing between mba and ias is difficult. But management degree is not going to help you to crack ias. If you are very much interested in doing management studies, you can opt for that in the future. Powerful jobs are different from management job. So choice is yours. Anyhow all the best for your preparation.

hello friend

happy to answer ur query
for u to prepare for civils u dont require mba/other managerial courses
ur perception wil change entirely wen u become stubborn to achieve the most respected
service in the country
the conviction u have on ur endeavor for civils wil give all the qualities required,
so u should either go for civils or mba, but not both, coz u wont be a master of both if u do that,
this is the most refined service, so as a person u have to change be keen of wat u want
so all the very best

Re: Is MBA before IAS helpful?

HI!

Every thing that you learn in your life has some benefits. Pursuing MBA will also benefit you in many ways.

If you are planning to pursue MBA in the hope that it will help you to get easy selection into IAS then it is wrong.

But if you are interested to study MBA then you can go for it. It will help you to take management subject as optional in mains exam.

Prelims does not offer management as optional subject. In that case you can take commerce as optional in which nearly 40% of the syllabus is from management field.

Re: Is MBA before IAS helpful?

hey friend , I think that there is some conflictness in your thinking towards MBA and civil services. I am damm sure that you would crack civil services if you are willing to do mba. You can opt it part-time. If you are serious in persuing MBA then please do preparation of ias after it.

At last mba is not helpful for civil services.

Re: Is MBA before IAS helpful?

Hi

I don't think that MBA will have an any link to the IAS examination which will be helpful for you in IAS preperation.

But if you wish to do MBA then its your choise but there is not any link between the MBA and civil services. Both fields have different directions.

If you want to do some best in your examination it would be better if you join some good coaching institute where you learn to crack IAS.

GOOD LUCK

First of all, people who persue MBA never do so for making a career in Civil Service sectors, they do so for Corporate sector. If any MBAian decides to opt for civil service its after completing there course and having few experiance or change of mode which is not good. No person with real Intension of cracking IAS opt for MBA, because they know they have to face many difficulties. IAS is entirely different thing, its a different from what we study or experiance whole life we study theorecretically while the IAS is all about applying Once Practical knowledge of the subject matter.

Each and every IAS officer has to go through such selection processes that India is really getting world class leaders, because whole country is run by them, PM, CM, Governors etc. all are just the visible parts of a Developing Building, while the Civil service officers are BASE of that Building.

If we take this matter from the professional point of view, the syllabus of Civil Service is such that Science and Arts studsents find comparetively manageable then students from commercial background.

Every year at least 2 IIM Alumni remains in cracker list of Civil Service, so the real leadership quality, and mind power, and analytical ability is also necessary which all MBAian Lacks.

Besides these types of various factors, Handsome PAy package and overseas oppurtunities are the factors which distracts good MBAians from this sector.

Means this types of discussions have never had an end, sometimes the former will take lead while the later.

Re: Is MBA before IAS helpful?

Dear friend,
if IAS is your ultimate target then you need not to do MBA before it, it may be harmful for your preparation for IAS.
For IAS only graduation degree is required, & you know that this is the toughest exam in India, so there are very tough competition . So you have to be well prepared for it.

If you waste your 2 precious year, it may cause the resist from your aim of IAS.

So, i suggest you to prepare well for IAS rather than doing MBA.

good luck.

Re: Is MBA before IAS helpful?

Dear friend,

For giving the IAS exam, MBA degree won't give any extra help for you ..

As these two are different fields you are talking about..

If you want to do civil services then you can go for that by appearing in the UPSC conducted IAS exam right after B.Tech.

And if you have interest to do management courses after B.Tech you can go for cracking the exams like CAT/MAT/XAT etc...

Now it is up to you to decide which way you have to go..

Best of luck!

there is no requirement of mba for civil exam. Rather you can prepare for exam at home. But it is also true that the skills required for civil exam will be provided in mba. So increase your knowledge and to do good in civil exam you can do mba.

Re: Is MBA before IAS helpful?

Hello,

you will complete engineering in 4 yrs + you decide to MBA that is another 2 years and then give IAS.
whats the point of spending half of your life studying, dont you think after engineering it is good enough to work? You can atmost go for MBA but then again spending a year or so for IAS is ridiculous!!!!
Anyway, doing MBA will be of no help for IAS at all.. kindly note that!!!!

going for MBA through CAT, XAT will be little bit good option because the GD & PI faced there will help you during 3rd step slelection of Civil Service, if you able to clear first 2 ones.if you want to be a part of the corporate world and IAS is not that. Knowledge of administration is important for an IAS officer too but that is not business administration. As an IAS officer More or less which degree you are earning will not much effect, because Civil service syllabus and the whole entrance is a different thing, even a MA history candidate can not be sure that he/she will score best in history paper of priliminary or main.

Re: Is MBA before IAS helpful?

You can pursue MBA before IAS.But MBA cannot prove to be much useful because IAS deals with subjects like Political science,Economics,History and English. Civil service exams are totally different from any MBA entrance exam or MBA syllabus.Degrees in Economics , English or History can help you little bit when you prepare for IAS.

Re: Is MBA before IAS helpful?

In no way MBA is going to be helpful in your CSE . If you are really serious for CSE than you should start preparing for you UPSC exams as for it only graduation is required.
Doing MBA is helpful in providing you job and if you are so much keen you can do it in later parts of life through correspondence. Decide your field of interest and take right decision

Go ahead!!!!
