This is a very big misconception among the freshers who want to go for the UPSC CSE examination. See there is no such influence of your subject in the preparation of UPSC CSE. Every year a lot of Engineers, Doctors also become IAS officers and they are certainly not from the backgrounds like Economics, GEOGRAPHY etc. As a result, what ever the subject combination you wish, you can study. The eligibility criteria for the UPSC examination is that the student need to be a Graduate in any stream. So you can complete graduation in any stream of your choice and you can become an IAS officer provided, you must be sincere about the preparation of UPSC CSE. The preparation for the UPSC CSE is the main thing which matters the most for the success to become an IAS officer.

Hello,

For the IAS exam, you can enroll in any bachelor's course. It would be great if you figured this out and solely pursued your bachelor's in this discipline as you are already clear that you want to choose Botany/Zoology as optional studies. The optional subjects are crucial to the IAS exam. Even if you are uncertain about this, you should choose B.SC (Zoology, Botany, Chemistry). Because you would be able to study both botany and zoology in this, and you could also choose an optional subject at the end.

Hello,

New UPSC aspirants are always in dilemma about study material because market is full of different resources for one subject. Different toppers and teachers advice for different material. But there are certain resources on which you can rely. Some of them are:

• First of all, be thorough with class 6th-12th NCERTs for all subjects.
• There are certain necessary and advisable books like Lakshmikant for polity, spectrum for Modern History, RS Sharma for Ancient History, Economics NCERT for economics, GC Leong for Geography, etc.
• For dynamic subjects like International Relations, one can take notes or printed materials from any coaching institute and newspaper is must for these subjects.
• Apart from these books, newspaper is very important for UPSC. Aspirants cannot leave it even by mistake.

These are standard resources for UPSC. For optional you can search for best notes.

Hope it helps.

All The Best!!

Hey!

My advice to you would be that as of now your daughter Ananya is too young to even be thinking about the preparation.

There’s still almost about 10 years before she will even be eligible to appear for the exam.

There however is a small tip that i have learnt over the years which is that the most important study source for UPSC CSE are NCERTs.

Although she doesn’t have to study it with that perspective but if one keeps their basics of the ncert clear there preparation becomes a thousand times easier.

But right now is truly the sparking age of her childhood. Let her blossom and come to a point where she is ready to take on all these responsibilities.

All the best for your future pursuits!

Feel free to ask more questions and queries.

Hello User,

Hope you are doing well.

If it’s treatable, it shouldn’t be a problem. But if it affects vision or if there is any possibility for vision degeneration in the future, then it may be an issue.
Physical and medical fitness for the services differ for technical (IPS etc where requirements are more) and non- technical services (IAS etc)

It is given in much detail in this notification: (from page 12) https://persmin.gov.in/ais1/Docs/Appendix-III.pdf

Better to check with an ophthalmologist with these details and get their advice.

Hope this will help you....Good Luck!

hope you are doing well

it will not create any problem in future but the thing is that you have to study very toughly cause as you know in science stream there are theory, theorems, calculas, intrigration. these are  little bit tough. and choosing science stream is good option for you cause it gives you so many job opportunity in future. as well as you can do graduation related to science, commerce and arts stream it gives you a option whatever subject you like and you think is easy you can go for that.

personally I'll suggest you after completing your 11th and 12th go for Btech it is equivalent to graduation then you should apply for UPSC if you clear UPSC then it will be good or if could not clear then having a science and technical background gives you a advantage of working in industries.

hope this is helpful for you

best of luck
