What extra things other than degree can I study to write civil service?

Hello,

You need to have a comprehensive knowledge of upsc syllabus.



First of all, if you think that you want to be an IAS then I will suggest you to go for Bachelor In Arts.



You can take majors Political science or sociology.



This subjects help one to crack any government exams like UPSC, SSC CGL and State Public Comission Exams and RRB too.



This subjects are very informative and easy to understand.



I will say if you belong from Arts background then please go for it but if you are from other background like Science, I will suggest that think twice or thrice or hundred times before changing streams.



UPSCs syllabus is unrecognizable and it changes with time.



So. work hard and start reading newspaper and always motive yourself.



Cheers !!

hi Mithra, Civil services consist of 3 stages - prelims, Mains, Interview.

Degree in Honours (Such as Agriculture, Accountancy, philosophy, Psychology, Sociology, Public administration, public administration, polity, history and so on) will help you in mains and Interview because Mains contain total 9 subjective paper among which ONE optional Paper containing 500 marks  but for prelims , General study (History, science and tech, environment, polity, geography, art and culture, economics and Current affairs) and CSAT (Comprehension, decision-making question, 10th standard mathematics) paper is there.

So, along with the degree, you can start your side preparation with above-mentioned Prelims subject. For this, you can go through 9th, 10th, and 12th standard NCERT book... last 15 years solved question papers, Online test series question paper.

Once your degree completed give one year with complete dedication... you will definitely qualify
