Civil Servant (IAS/PCS)

Try to prepare for competitive exam with same pattern. Bank & insurance have same exam pattern. Also recruitment process is fast. IAS PCS are of same exam pattern. PCS recruitment process is slow. SSC & Railway can he put into one type of exam. Prepare for bank & insurance exam if you want quick results & timely recruitment. Try to focus on one type of exam. Just filling every government. Job application is not a solution. Try to make smart strategy -
- one strategy could be target easy to crack government. Job like SSC /Railway/ group c or d government. Job & prepare for higher post later on with job
- target bank & insurance exam & limit focus on this type only
- prepare for PCS or other similar exam along with a smart job like teaching
Best wishes.

You should use your study till now to your advantage. You can increase your score in main due to English language. Similarly, by choosing main subjects in allignment with preparation of pre should be another startegy. History, Geography, Polity, GS, Economics has maximum share in pre paper. So you can choose one from among these. I suggest you to do subject wise analysis of CSE pre. & choose a subject which for main which is of interest & in allignment with pre. There are some things which can be regarded as pillar of IAS examination. These are continuity, quality study material & focus on smart study rather than hard. It will take time. May be you plan to do it along with a job for 2-3 years.

Science has a little share in IAS question paper & that is only as part of GS in pre. There is not any well defined suitable Science combination for IAS. It is your subject of interest which matter. Your interest could make things easy for you during each stage of exam be it pre or interview. Pre is same for all irrespective of educational stream. So Science has not much to do with pre as History, Geography & Polity ( or law) has maximum share of question in pre. Science could help in CSAT paper & GS part. You should be clear from the starting of graduation about your optional subjects for main. Most of the universities in India give admission on basis of marks of 12th for B.Sc. It is better to pursue B.Sc. From a reputed college. BHU, DU, KUK, Jamai, Allahabad university, CUSAT, MSU Vadodara & other central universities are good options. You should start planning & preparation from starting of graduation for IAS. Smart planning & continuity in study is what could make it possible.
