Hello aspirant,

I hope all is well with you. Nothing less than a degree qualifies you to take the UPSC civil services test or the IAS exam. Therefore, it is irrelevant if you choose PCB or PCM in your 12th year or seek a degree in the arts, sciences, business, engineering, or medical. The only thing required is graduation.

So I would suggest you do your graduation first and also prepare for UPSC exam along with your graduation.

Thank you

Hope this information helps you.

But it is true an ias earn even if 200 crore per it is possible but donot join civil service for corruption,Join civil service for power,prestige,charm of 100 to1000 salutes per day that value is 1 crore so by this doctors from AIIMS,AFMC,CMC Vellore ,enginner from iit,nit,iiit,from management professional like institute iim are aspiring to become an ias ,an another  an ias is much more prestigious than doctor so after becoming a doctor try for ias if you are lucky then you will be select ,in current scenario in front on ias there is no value of doctor, doctor is like as a common man ,ias is a job of a king so due to perks,power,prestige in society than doctor ,ias is the most valuable job in the country

Hello aspirant

As you know so much on the things about age limit and all so you also must be knowing that to crack UPSC exam a candidate must be a graduate from any recognised University doesn't matter in which stream you did your graduation.

As you have mentioned that you don't want to do engineering so no problem you are having lots of choices to do in your graduation.

See you don't want to do engineering then you can do graduation in bachelor of arts which most of the students who want to prepare for UPSC exam and it helps them so much because most of the syllabus coincide with the syllabus of UPSC CSE exam but still if you don't want to do to this graduation you can do some technical things also not engineering but Bachelor of Science which would not be that much Lengthy like engineering and you will be getting a lot of time to prepare for UPSC CSE exam.

Again if you don't find these things helpful you can do anything in whichever you feel interest as academics too matter very much.

Hope it helps!

thank you!

Hello Aspirant!

The eligibility criteria for appearing in UPSC exam is graduation and diploma is not considered as graduation. Therefore, you need to complete your graduation in order to be applicable for UPSC.

Hope this helps. Thank you

Hello there

Good to see that you want to become an IAS officer and you are determined at a very early age.

Firstly you must know the minimum eligibility criteria to appear in UPSC CSE examination and that is you must have graduation degree from any recognised University doesn't matter in whichever stream it is.

By qualifying UPSC CSE you would be getting various allotments according to your final rank such as IAS, IPS, IFS and many other grade A services.

So as you are in class 10th,I would recommend you to firstly complete your 11th and 12th in whichever stream you are feeling interested and then do your graduation and also you can start your preparation from the first year of your graduation. Now do graduation in whichever stream you're feeling interested and can do good in that.

Hello,

There is no such restrictions of belonging to specific stream when it comes to UPSC, as its eligibility criteria states that candidates need to pass graduation in any discipline from a state university, there is not even specific aggregate required in this case, you can apply in the final year also, the age limit is 21 to 32 years for UR, relaxation in terms of age is provided to reserved categories, after choosing MEC group in intermediate you can go for any field graduate degree as per your preference, last year itself one of the topper secured IAS belonging to commerce stream, similarly there are medical, engineering, arts, science graduates to name a few signify the diversity, hence you should pursue graduation in subject of your interest, also if at this moment you are not completely sure of UPSC, it's good to have a back up plan also as this exam is highly competitive, got such extensive syllabus, it takes single minded focus, dedication and perseverance to qualify, once you get into college you can start off by going through syllabus in detailed manner as this will help you to know what to read and what to skip, making a habit of reading newspaper everyday especially editorial, national and international importance news, economy, government scheme etc, go through NCERT first and then move towards other standard books, keep the list minimal, go through previous year paper and mock tests on regular basis to evaluate your preparation level.

See for being an IAS officer there is no need of being an engineer or from any professional field. The only requirement is that you have to qualify all the tiers of UPSC CSE with good marks and you must have a graduation. Now as you are interested in Engineering then its always better to choose the best.

Among the two you have provided I would recommend you to go for VIT CHENNAI.

VIT have a very well organized curriculum such that the curriculum provides adequate skills to work in industry as well as to pursue academia. Also the faculties are very well experienced and are active in research. VIT offers a very good rate of placement about 91%. Thus if you want to get admitted in an engineering course then I would say its better to go for VIT CHENNAI. VIT CHENNAI have very good infrastructure which is really  good fact for science students.

** I would highly recommend you to conduct a research by yourself. If you find my facts relevant then only go for it , else take the decision  which will be the best for you.
