Hi there,

UPSC conducts many exams and I am assuming you are inquiring about the UPSC IAS also known as the UPSC Civil Services Exam.

So, lets get you started!

The UPSC IAS application form is released every year, you must keep track of it. The exam is one of the toughest exams in India and it conducted in three stages - Prelims, Mains and Interview. You must be aware of the UPSC IAS exam pattern and the IAS syllabus to prepare for the exam and qualify each stage.

While filling the application form you will have to pay a minimum application fee, if you have successfully applied for UPSC IAS, you will be able to download the UPSC IAS admit card, you much download and print the admit card and carry it to the exam center on the day for the exam.

UPSC IAS demands time, hard work and deep studies. I wish you all the luck!

Hope this helps!

Thanks

I prefer The Hindu or Indian Express for quality articles.

Try to finish 1-2 subjects during semester break.

Read toppers interviews :

IAS preparation: strategies keep on changing with the availability of new materials and new question patterns from UPSC.

Hey Harshita,

Well, there is no such UPSC exam it's just UPSC(Union Public Service Commission) which is a constitutional body that organises various exams to make various top recruitments in Central government bodies.

Some of the top examinations are:-

  • UPSC CSE(Civil Services Examination): This is the most common exam in recent years by clearing this you'll become an IAS officer.
  • UPSC CDS(Combined Defence Services): This examination is organised for recruiting officers in Indian Army, Navy & Airforce.

Since, UPSC is a long journey, therefore, it's essential to have monthly, weekly & daily plans for studies else you'll find out after 6 months of studying you won't be able to recall what you have studied.

Try to read Newspaper daily and select the optional subject which matches with your interest otherwise you'll be start feeling bored after 2-3 months.

Hope this helps.

Feel free to contact for further details!!
