can i get btech degree in 3 years according to new education policy and the can i give upsc after get degree in 3 years??
Hey,
Unfortunately you cannot get a btech degree within 3 years. You are required to study 4 years to complete your btech degree. Though some colleges like iits gives an opportunity to weaker students to opt out after 3 years with a Bsc degree instead. Also,there are some colleges that offers a one year betch programme. You may go through that as well.
Also once you get a complete graduation degree you may apply for any civil services exams given you fulfill other requirements.
Kindly let me know you have any further doubts.

Can I pursue my dream of becoming a movie director after becoming an IFoS officer?
Hello,
First of all Indian Forest Service and Movie Director belong to two different domain altogether, even for becoming movie director it's a job where you have to have detailed knowledge about your craft so either you can enroll yourself in institutes like FTII, NSD to name a few where you gain enough understanding regarding your job profile, and not only that you also understand making movie in a holistic viewpoint, next comes the experience part, until and unless you are on a set, your knowledge and understanding of cinema won't be of much help either, as a practical experience is required to put that knowledge into gaining experiences to hone your skills. If you want to pursue a career in movie making as full time, then there is no need to go for IFoS, it's better you enroll yourself in a any of the institute, learn your craft, gain experiences to hone it, and accordingly proceed ahead in your professional journey.
