Good luck!

Hello student ,

After 12th it would be impossible to become an IAS officer . For an IAS officer you have yo follow these steps -

1. You need to be a graduate in order to be eligible for Civil Services exam.
2. So, you have 3+ years ahead of you to prepare yourself for the exam.
3. You have an advantage as you have 3 years to prepare yourself without taking much pressure. After your graduation , you won’t need much time to prepare.
4. First of all, choose your graduation stream very carefully so that you can prepare for UPSC alongside. Still , I would advice you to opt for a professional course instead of simple graduation as you gain a better perspective of things in a professional course.
5. If you can score top marks in 12th and can get admission in top 5 colleges of DU, you can go for simple graduation too as your college add value to your personality.
6. Start reading newspaper. The Hindu, Indian Express, Hindu Business line etc. are some of the most followed newspapers by UPSC.

Hope it helps !

Hi.

You cannot become an IAS Officer right after completion of 12th. For that you need to crack CSE and the CSE Eligibility criteria states that you need to have completed a graduation course from a recognizes university/institute.

To become an IAS Officer, you need to qualify the Union Public Service Commission Civil Services Exam (CSE). The exam itself is conducted as a means to recruit civil servants to one of the 25 services that comprise of the All India Services (IPA, IFS and IAS), Central Services (IRS, Railways, etc) and Group B services.

The exam is considered to be among the toughest in the country, if not in the world. Among the lakhs of candidates who apply for the exam, only a thousand some manage to break it into the Indian bureaucracy. The success rate of the UPSC Civil Service Exam (CSE) is thus less than 1%.

The exam itself is structured into three parts – the Preliminary (Civil Services Aptitude Test – CSAT), Main Exam, and finally the Interview.

If you have a further specific query please feel free to comment.

Best of Luck.

Hi Aspirant,

Yes,you can surely become IAS officer but for that you need to give UPSC examination which is very tough and there's a too much competition for that.But for that you need to be of 21 years of age.I would recommend you to complete your graduation once then go for UPSC examination.You have to study really hard to crack the examination.
