Hello aspirant,

If you aspire to be an IAS officer then you can follow the steps that we are mentioning here, first you have to study 10+2 with any specialisation, depending on your interest. For a bachelor's degree programme, you can opt for any degree programme, such as BA , B.Sc , B.Com or B.Tech and then start preparing for the UPSC Civil Services Exam. UPSC Civil Services Exam has multiple rounds, such as prelims, mains and interview round. After clearing the interview, you have to go for the training programme at Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration, Mussoorie.


  • Meeting the eligibility criteria and apply for the UPSC Civil Services Exam

  • Clearing the preliminary examination

  • Fill out the UPSC DAF (Detailed Application Form) for the Mains examination

  • Clearing the Mains examination

  • Appearing for the final interview round

  • Need to attend the IAS Training at LBSNAA

If you want to know more about the IAS Officer career, then read the article, How to Become an IAS Officer .

I hope the answer will help you, and for more information follow the https://www.careers360.com/ .

IAS exam that is CSE is conducted by UPSC. UPSC is such a exam that u can give after ur graduation by adopting any degree. Any supervised learning is not required for this. You just need to know is only the UPSC syllabus. The main strategy required is consistency and note making. You can start ur preparation from any class even 10th also as i m preparing. Which stream or degree u will choose further, it doesn't matter. U just need ur self alertness preparation everyday. Even 2 hours of everyday r enough for this. Newspaper reading should b yhe part of ur life if u really want to crack it. As i m upsc aspirant and my day starts from The Hindu and ends at Yojna Kurukshetra. The foremost thing u should note is ur time management. Besides ur UPSC preparation u should stay focused towards ur regular classes study also. U should b awared time to time about international interests as well as relations. Although its difficult but u have to manage all. You know why UPSC exam is so tough? It wants u to deal with pressure. It wants the pressure to make the part of ur lifestyle. UPSC will choose u by taking ur perception into the consideration. And u have to find out that perception. If i ask anyone, "From where does the IAS training begins ?" Almost more than 90% people will say 'LBSNAA'. But this is wrong.  All upsc training starts from the preparation. Preparation is the first step towards the training. This key perspective i have added for beloved upsc aspirant. Here r some list of most scoring reference books for aspirants:

M. Laxmikanth for Indian Polity,   Bipin Chandra for Modern History,  Nitin Singhaniya for Art and Culture, Indian Economy by Ramesh Singh, Geography by Majid Hussain and Indian Governance and administration. These books r most important andbu have to read them thoroughly.

•After 10th,you have to take any group in class 11.

•After Intermediate,you have to complete your graduation (Any degree).

•After 3-4 years of degree,you have to take coaching for an IAS for 1 year.

•After coaching,You have to write an exams (I.e.prelims,mains).


•If you have qualified in mains then you'll have interview in Delhi.

•The marks of mains and interview will be added.

•If you have got a rank between 1-95 in India level then you'll become an IAS.

All the best to all,who have a dream to be an IAS.

Rishika There is no specific subjects to be chosen in 11th standard for IAS. To be an IAS you should be a graduate at any subject . That includes Engg, medical, science, arts and commerce graduate. There is nothing to be particular about any stream in IAS exam.

Steps to Start IAS Preparation After 10th

  • Select subjects of your interest in Class 11
  • Check the IAS Syllabus and topics of that subjects
  • Start preparing the topics. The early you start better will be your chances to crack the IAS in first attempt.
  • Do not skip any topic before solving the papers as it may demotivate the candidates.
  • Solve last year's UPSC papers of that subjects after covering all topics.
