Hello aspirant,

PCS Means Provincial civil services ,it was conducted by the state public service commission of the respective states in india,

PCS aspirants must be aware of the Historical and Geographical back ground of the respective state,Read about rivers dams and some other projects,You want to known about the update current affairs what was happening around the society prepare polity section completely you can answer more questions.

Age limit of the PCs examination is 21years and no age limit for general.

i hope i clear your doubt,

Good Luck!!

Hello,

The PCS exam (Combined State/Upper Sub-ordinate Services Exam) age limit (as of July 1 of the exam year) is:

Minimum age – 21 years

Maximum age – 40 years  ,And no age relaxation for general category.

For UPPSC preparation, a pragmatic approach would be to align it with the UPSC IAS Exam preparation. Many state commissions are modelling their syllabus and/or exam pattern with that of the Union Public Service Commission.

For the candidates’ reference:

  • UPSC Syllabus
  • IAS Eligibility Criteria

The main difference between UPSC preparation and UP PCS exam preparation is that in the latter candidates have to study details (history, geography, polity, current affairs) about the state of Uttar Pradesh as well.

For the most part, the preparation strategy for both focus on NCERT books and notes, standard reference books (such as Laxmikanth’s Polity) and Current Affairs preparation.


UPPSC study material (books and notes) and daily Current Affairs:

Check out the NCERT notes on Ancient History, Medieval History, Modern Indian History, Art/Culture, and Geography.

For the current affairs part, approximately 10-12 months of coverage is recommended.Also, an important part of preparation is going through the previous years’ question papers and doing MCQ solving practice for Prelims and answer writing practice for Mains.

best of luck.
