Hi Prem Singh,
Completing a degree course is one of the eligibility criteria to take IAS exam. So, I wonder how you can take the exam without completing it.

Hi,
Sociology, public administration, psychology, etc. are considered good subjects from the preparation point of view. However, you should choose a subject based on your interest.

While I cannot tell you if its worth or not to pursue BA because I myself am a student. But I can tell you that people choose to do BA in subjects like history, political science, economics or even philosophy alongside their preparation for the exams. I think these subjects may help give you a broader perspective into the subjects, however, it depends upon your caliber and choice; if you wish to prepare full time or not. But since you have to have a degree in order to be eligible, I think, BA is a good choice.

Hi Aashish!
You have to be a graduate in any discipline from a UGC recognised University in order to be eligible for IAS exam. The IAS exam is conducted by UPSC and is the most competitive exam in our country. For your preparation I would suggest you to enroll yourself in some good coaching center so that you get the exact idea of the syllabus and you can also refer some good books on general awareness and current affairs like Manorama year book etc. You can refer to this link for exam preparation tips https://www.shiksha.com/articles/study-tips-for-upsc-civil-services-exam-blogId-5953.

Hi Himanshu!
It is a great thing that you want to prepare for IAS exam from now itself. It is always a wise thing to know your future goals and start working on them early in life. One best thing is, the subjects you will be studying in your 9th and 10th standard will be of great help in IAS exam as the main exam of UPSC contains subjective questions related to Geography, History, Indian Politics and Governance, Environmental awareness, Economic Development of India, General Science. So do study these subjects thoroughly. Apart from this, there is an objective exam which is known as prelim exam, which contains objective questions relate
