Hi

As per your question Read more approximately the civil services. Find out approximately the lifestyles of

a civil servant or a diplomat. If possible, communicate to an IAS officer and get to recognize about

ground realities immediately from the horse’s mouth.

Ask your self is that this what you virtually want? If your solution is ‘yes’, study on…

Take up a commencement path that involves records and polity. These topics are of immense

significance to the united states syllabus.

During your commencement, have a look at these topics sincerely well preserving in thoughts the USA

syllabus.

If you would collect a level of mastery in these subjects, you could also opt one in every of them as your

non-compulsory subject.

Also, start analyzing public administration, economics, etc. You can even look at these subjects as your

major subject, all depending on your interests and aptitude.

Don’t lose contact with basic maths that you found out in school. This is needed for the CSAT paper

inside the IAS Prelims. Read extra approximately IAS examination pattern.

Remember to have a look at like an IAS aspirant and now not a bunking college student.

Make use of your university library. Read as many relevant books as possible.

Inculcate the habit of analyzing the daily newspaper and preserve abreast of the modern-day

happenings inside the usa and the world.

Work on your interpersonal competencies and conversation capabilities. Try to develop a great

personality that would assist you in the IAS interview later.

Don’t throw away your school NCERT textbooks. These are the primary books to study for the us exam.

Learn the way to make notes and start doing the same.

Practice previous years IAS query papers.

Hope helpful.

Guru, if you are in your 12th right now, it is important to know the exam format. UPSC is a 3 stage   selection process involving Prelims, Mains and Interview which tests your personality test. Prelims has 2 Papers namely General Studies and CSAT.

General Studies has Current Events, History of India and Indian National Movement, Indian and World Geography, Indian Polity and Governance, Economic and Social Development, Environmental Ecology, Biodiversity and Climate Change and General Science.

CSAT has Comprehension, Interpersonal skills including communication skills, Logical Reasoning and Analytical ability, Decision making and problem solving, General Mental Ability, Basic numeracy and Data Interpretation.

You will need atleast to start preparing ahead of 1- 2 years. If you are preparing at home, you need to keep yourself away from distractions and focus on the goal ahead. Gather as much as information as you can on each topic and keep yourself updated. Practise mock test papers. Meanwhile these books can help you in cultivating reading habit.

Hi Dear,

If you want to start your preparation for UPSC after 12th, i'll recommend you to go for a bachelor's course related to history and polity. Also you must regularly study current affairs and news. Keep a touch with subjects which you'll be taking up in UPSC like mathematics, geography, civics, english, hindi etc. You can also read as much books possible during this course of time. If you'll be in a habit to study regularly then you will not be overburdened. Proper time management and constant revision along with updated knowledge will help you in your preparation.

Good Luck

Hello

The best way to start your UPSC preparation is with a making routine or a timetable.

  • First of all make a routine and give at least eight hours for studies in your time table.Keep short breaks of 20 to 25 minutes after every 1.5 to 2 hours between your studies in your routine  and keep rotating subjects as well.
  • After completing each chapter , practice questions as well

Read newspaper daily and keep yourself updated with the current affairs

Choose your optional subject wisely , choose the subject you have interest in.

Make short notes after completing each chapter

Revise :- there's no point of preparing for the exam if you couldn't recall anything in the UPSC Examination so you should stress on revision as well.

Solve previous year question papers and mock test papers ;- You should solve these , it will give you idea of types of questions asked and their difficulty level and will help you a lot.

Also work on your communication skills and personality development as it plays an important role in your interview round
