Hi,

First of all you need to qualify UPSC IAS exam, and in order to qualify you need to apply for UPSC IAS first and prepare well. You must know that close to 5 lac candidates appear for UPSC IAS (Going by the trends of the last 3-4 years) and the vacancies are just 800-900, that too only the top 75-100 candidates according to the merit list are appointed as DM/Collector.

So you know its not that easy, but still if you work hard you can turn the tides.
