Hello there

Good to see that you Aspire to become an IAS officer or if not then also ok. I want to tell you that to become a IAS officer you have to clear civil services examination which is conducted by UPSC nationwide in India for the recruitment to higher civil services of the Government of India including the Indian Administrative Service Indian Foreign Services and also Indian police service.

The examination is of three stages- first one is preliminary examination second is mains and third is interview and the candidate who clear these three stages and got their name in the merit list are called for training and then they are gets allocated to various cadre in the government.

For syllabus you can refer to the UPSC CSE website there you can find all the details about the examination that which subject came what topics you should study in different different stages.
