I'm in class 12th and it's Mid Year. I'm a Non-Med student And My Main Aim is to become an IAS Officer but I'm not sure that what should i do after 12th i.e I'm 16 yrs old and it's nearly 5 yrs left for UPSC exam { as the age limit is from 21 to 32} I have no interest in engineering so pls help :(

Hello aspirant

As you know so much on the things about age limit and all so you also must be knowing that to crack UPSC exam a candidate must be a graduate from any recognised University doesn't matter in which stream you did your graduation.

As you have mentioned that you don't want to do engineering so no problem you are having lots of choices to do in your graduation.

See you don't want to do engineering then you can do graduation in bachelor of arts which most of the students who want to prepare for UPSC exam and it helps them so much because most of the syllabus coincide with the syllabus of UPSC CSE exam but still if you don't want to do to this graduation you can do some technical things also not engineering but Bachelor of Science which would not be that much Lengthy like engineering and you will be getting a lot of time to prepare for UPSC CSE exam.

Again if you don't find these things helpful you can do anything in whichever you feel interest as academics too matter very much.

Hope it helps!

thank you!
