iam a science student i completed my 2nd puc and got 69.18%(70%) i would like to become IAS officer plz suggest me which degree is very benifit to me to appere in UPSC examination ( santosh kumar) plz help me

Akram Khan 22nd Aug, 2020

Hi,

With any degree you can appear cor the IAS exam. As the eligibility to appear for IAS exam is candidate should have degree from any recognized university.

However if you want to select a degree course which will help you in preparation of the IAS exam also. You can select courses which have the same syllabus as that of civil services exam. Some of the such courses are -

B.A - English literature or other language (as the pre and mains syllabus includes languages also)

B.A political science

B.A history

B.A sociology

B.A geography

Bachelors in mass communication and journalism

B.Com

These are the courses which can help you. However infact there is no specific degree as the syllabus of civil services is broad whatever degree you get you will have some use of it in your preparation. So choose that degree course which you like to study. And sidwise focus in the preparation of civil services sticking to the syllabus.


Hope it helps.

sir, I completed my bsc in physics, can I choose zoology as optional in UPSC mains ?? Im interested in zoology.

pdwords Student Expert 21st Aug, 2020

Hello,

Zoology is a very good optional subject because the syllabus is more of static,the questions asked are direct in nature, you can present your answers with diagrams which if done correctly and neatly will fetch you marks, it also overlaps with few part of General Studies Papers, similarly in case of IFos too this optional is available(only difference is eligibility of IFos is Bachelor's Degree in Science/Engineering).

Now, coming to your question, one of the most important thing you have to remember is the syllabus of optional is nothing short of graduation studies, hence the decision to choose zoology or physics depends on you completely, if you choose physics you will have an added advantage is that you're already acquainted with the syllabus, so the efforts you'll put in this will be comparatively less. And most importantly, don't go by the success ratio of any optional subjects, choosing an optional should depend entirely on your interest, the reason I'm emphasizing on this is because many engineering aspirants too have chosen their area of study as optional and have qualified the exam as well. So, choose your options accordingly weighing everything.

I am reading 11th PCMB and I am interested to read UPSC but I am poor at history because I cant remember events and dates and my memory is poor Shall I be able to crack this exam and take up?

rajaman9300 Student Expert 20th Aug, 2020

Do not overthink or do not take much stress as you have already taken PCMB which itself has a huge bunch of syllabus. So first try to clear your 11th and 12th and then you can think for preparing.

After 12th you could take Arts stream which in turn will help in your preparation for UPSC CSE. And one more thing, it is a myth that you will have to remember the all only the dates and all. Yes, you will have to but slowly, slowly you will take up and there are also certain tricks to mug up those Historical Dates.

All the best!!

i am doing bsc from a college which is affiliated to an university . shall i be able to give upsc or not . or i need to get degree from University not from college which is affiliated to university.

pdwords Student Expert 20th Aug, 2020
Hello,

As long as your college is recognized by UGC, you can definitely appear for UPSC, the question of doing graduation from university makes you eligible and from college it doesn't, it's not relevant, you just need to pass graduation in any discipline with no specific aggregate, you need to attain 21 years and can apply even in the final year.

I am in class 11 science stream,and wanted to start UPSC prepration.Plzz suggest me some beginning tips to start prepration.

prerna vats 18th Aug, 2020

Hello dear student,

UPSC is the biggest examination  of India and syllabus is really vast so from 11th only you have to start preparing and analyzing your weaknesses ( the subjects which are part of syllabus but you are least interested  in) . The first and foremost  step you have to take is start reading newspapers. It is very very important.  Also, reading newspaper does not mean that you just read some  interesting  headlines of newspaper. NO! You've  to be smart while reading newspaper and should read it in UPSC point of view. Stay aware with the political news in India.

Second important tip is make the habit of preparing  notes. Whatever subject you've  chosen, study via making notes. It will help you for your maiins examination which is subjective type.

You don't  need to be a bookworm .Just focus on your subjects of 11th standard  with studying little bit of general knowledge  regularly so that you get updated with all the important  topics.

This is all you've  to do from now. Stay focused. Stay motivated. Not everybody  knows everything so never get demotivated whenever you feel that you are not aware of something . All the very best for your  future !!
