As you know the UPSC conducts this exam i.e CSAT which replaces the Civil service test conducted by the UPSC from the next year.

The CSAt manly consists of three stages i.e Preliminary test,Mains and personal interview.
The Preliminary test is conducted in the selected 53 cities of the UPSC.

Preliminary test mainly consists of two papers i.e the first paper consists of General studies like Geography,History,Current events and General science.
The second paper consists mainly of English i.e aptitude test,comprehension and Mental ability test.

If qualified in the prelims and mains then you have to attend the personal interview.

Re: How to prepare for IAS exams?

Namastey,
Preparing for IAS is very easy if you plan it.
It will be based on time management.
It will be based on choosing the subjects for attempting I.A.S Exams.
Prelims will be held around may-june,it contains 2 papers ,duration of each paper is 2hrs.
If you choose history,maths,geography it will be easy to score more marks,but is based on your interest.
Reading newspapers,watching tv channels like discovery,national geography,animal planet,news channels ,sports etc. and preparing old question papers ,it will be available in all books stationary
if you reach interview stage book knowledge is not enough,your mental ability will also plays a major role
positive thinking improvement is necessary
communication skills and soft skills are necessary
you must be medically fit

Re: How to prepare for IAS exams?

Hi,
To start preparing for IAS one should incorporate habit of learning newspaper's editorial pages, know about the current affairs through news, internet. You should take appropriate subjects for mains these days as in prelims no subject is required.
You should plan for each day's task. For your benefit one can join coaching institutes.

Re: How to prepare for IAS exams?

hi!

To become an IAS you need to pass the civil services exam. It consists of 3 stages:
CSAT
mains exam
interview

So at first you should have to prepare for CSAT exam. In csat you will have to appear in 2 papers of equal marks namely general awareness & aptitude. You should start your preparation by selecting the right books & study materials. Then study according to the syllabus. Try to solve model papers based on latest exam pattern.
Analyze result, find out the weak areas & try to overcome those weak areas.

Regular practice is the only key to success in any exam.

Re: How to prepare for IAS exams?

Dear friend,
I am very much happy to see that you are an IAS aspirant.IAS is not an oridanary exam which measures our mugging up skills only.
Its an exam which measures our personality,intelligence and ability to handle situations .
So preparations for IAS should begin from our graduation period (if you are willing you can start from 8th standard onwards,actually its the right time to begin preparations)
Base knowledge is very much essential,so should start by reading NCERT text books of subjects which you are taken as electives.Then you should be updated to recent happenings in the world.So read two news papers at least a day.
Spent around 6 hours in a day to prepare for IAS and utilize it maximum.
good luck friend

Re: How to prepare for IAS exams?

well for one thing preparation for the IAS should ideally begin since childhood. why do i say that ? well its because there is a certain "x-factor" about the IAS exams that one can study 24*7 and still not make it.. well through personal experience i've put it down to the amount of intensive reading you put in.. and since there is no limit for reading stuff(books, magazines, journals, novels ..whatever) the best time to start would be as early as possible. then you dont have to mug up G.K books the night before your exam ! then apart from reading a lot stay abreast of new findings, research, etc. and improve logical reasoning..even in your daily life solve simple problems with applying a lot of logic in your mind...it will help tune your mind to think logically when the aptitude questions come...

A minimum of 55% in graduation is a must to appear for the IAS exam. In order to clear the exam you need to be well focussed and well aware in GK area. Also the test will involve areas of mathematics. There a lot of materials available in the market for your reference. To need to very meticulous for clear the IAS exam.
