Hello,

First of all Indian Forest Service and Movie Director belong to two different domain altogether, even for becoming movie director it's a job where you have to have detailed knowledge about your craft so either you can enroll yourself in institutes like FTII, NSD to name a few where you gain enough understanding regarding your job profile, and not only that you also understand making movie in a holistic viewpoint, next comes the experience part, until and unless you are on a set, your knowledge and understanding of cinema won't be of much help either, as a practical experience is required to put that knowledge into gaining experiences to hone your skills. If you want to pursue a career in movie making as full time, then there is no need to go for IFoS, it's better you enroll yourself in a any of the institute, learn your craft, gain experiences to hone it, and accordingly proceed ahead in your professional journey.

Hello,

To become an IAS officer there is no single course that you have to do. The eligibility criteria states that the Candidate must hold a graduation degree in any discipline from a reputed university. After this you need to qualify the Union Public Service Commission Civil Services Exam. The exam itself is structured into three parts – the Preliminary (Civil Services Aptitude Test – CSAT), Main Exam, and finally the Interview.

So first complete your graduation and in the meantime read more about the eligibilty criteria like the number of attempts, age limit, etc.

I  have shared a link with you below where you can read about the eligibility criteria: https://competition.careers360.com/articles/upsc-ias-eligibility-criteria#IAS-Eligibility-Criteria-2021--Educational-Qualification

Inculcate the habit of reading the daily newspaper and keep yourself aware of  latest happenings in the country and the world.

Work on your interpersonal skills and communication skills. Your personality is tested during the interview.

Good Luck

hello,

Since i am persuing engineering i can provide you an answer. If you want to prepare yourself for civil cervices then you have to create a time table and need to follow strictly because whichever discipline you choose you wo'nt get enough time to prepare for civil services. In engineering you will have lots of assignments, projects which have a strict deadlines as these things give you marks as well as prepares for the recruitment stuffs. If you really want to prepare you can either choose a 3 year cours like ba, bsc, bca which will save your 1 year because upsc has only one major criteria you must have a bachlor degree. If you are willing to do engineering too then you need to complete your btech first then after graduation you need to prepare for civil services.

hope this will help you

all the best!!

Hello,Civil service exam is known for its unpredictability. There is no observed trend that student choosing a certain optional or from a specific profession clearing the exam.Since all the subjects' knowledge are being tested in the exam process it is better that you select a subject of choice from the  optional subjects and can pursue a degree in it.Of course it wont offer an edge but you can find the preparation from those subjects relatively easy.People usually choose degree in Histroy,Agriculture,English to help their preparation.

Hope this helps.

Hello Radhe!

The interveiwers can notice this consistent poor performance in the same subject and might ask you the reason for the same. They try to test the knowledge in that subject to check whether how much have you learnt now and also to see your reaction when you are asked questions from the subject you are weak in.

Now, since you have cleared the subject, its not sufficient. You need to study it from scratch again and preprare in prespective of the civil service exams. You must feel confident about the subject as well as about yourself. So practice mock interviews, it can help a lot. Get tips from people who have faced such interviews.

All the best!

hello,

IEM Kolkata is one of the best and top institute in west bengal which takes admission through west bengal's WBJEE exam. If we take SMVDU into account it takes admissions through jee mains. If we take the placement scenario, in both colleges most company that comes are mass recruiters like tcs, cognizant, wipro etc. Both colleges have 4-5 lakhs average package. So there is no much difference at all. But if you consider the tourism then offcourse jammu is better from my view point.

hope this will help you

all the best!!
