Hello,

There's nothing as such best courses for UPSC, as per its eligibility criteria candidates need to pass graduation in any discipline from a recognized university, and attain 21 years, you can also apply in the final year, and there's no specific aggregate required in this case, if you're wholly and solely focused on cracking only UPSC, you may pursue graduation in subjects like political science, public administration history, geography, economics etc as UPSC tends to be more humanities oriented.

UPSC Civil Service Exam consists of three stages-

Preliminary
Mains
Interview

To give you a brief about the exam;

Preliminary consists of 200 Marks for each paper. It mainly consists of GS Paper-I consists of the following topic such as History of India and Indian national movement, Indian and World geography, Economic and social development- sustainable development, poverty,inclusion demographics, social sector initiatives etc,Indian polity and governance-constitution,political system,Current Events nationally and Internationally, General Science,General Issues on environmental ecology,biodiversity and climate change. you just need to score the required cut offs against your category. And then we have qualifying CSAT(you need to score 33%) which includes topics such as basic numeracy, comprehension, logical reasoning and analytical ability, general mental ability, decision making and problem solving, interpersonal skills including communication skills. Both consists of 200 marks, MCQs based. Prelims is mcq based, but still it requires knowledge coupled with speed in order to ace it, it's numbers are not added in the final list,


Coming to Mains it's more of a subjective type, one needs to write answer for Four General Studies Paper such as

GS-I includes Indian Heritage and Culture,History and Geography of the World and Society,
GS-II includes Governance, Constitution, Polity, Social Justice and International Relations,
GS-III includes Technology, Economic Development, Bio-Diversity, Environment, Security and Disaster Management,

Hello dev!!!

Sure, you can enter into upsc. For entering into upsc you dont wanted to do btech. You can choose arts college and spend more time for your upsc preparation. Yours decision is like "cat on the wall" you can't achieve in both upsc and btech CSE. Try to concentrate on one thing and definitely you can shine in your life.

Thanks a lot!!!

Praneeth, UPSC is a 3 stage selection process involving Prelims, Mains and Interview which tests your personality test. Prelims has 2 Papers namely General Studies and CSAT.

General Studies has Current Events, History of India and Indian National Movement, Indian and World Geography, Indian Polity and Governance, Economic and Social Development, Environmental Ecology, Biodiversity and Climate Change and General Science.

CSAT has Comprehension, Interpersonal skills including communication skills, Logical Reasoning and Analytical ability, Decision making and problem solving, General Mental Ability, Basic numeracy and Data Interpretation.

Analytical Ability, Data Interpretation, Basic Numeracy come under Mathematics section. These are mostly at 12th level which means you need to get the basic right. If you are from a Non Mathematics back ground, you might find it difficult. Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry and Advanced Mathematics. Practise chapter by chapter and develop mental calculations. Like practise more of basic summation, subtraction, fractions and tables. Numbers, Percentage, Profit and Loss, Simple and Compound Interest, Ratio, Proportionality, Time-Distance, Time-Work, Mixtures, Averages, Partnership, Permutation and Combinations, Probability, Set Theory, Progression and Series, Line, Angles, Triangles, Quadrilaterals, Polygon, Circles, Ares, Volume, Height and Distance, Coordinate Geometry, Basic Trigonometry are few important topics. So you need to stick to NCERT books, get the basic correct and practise the formula. They say that there is no better way to learn Mathematics than to practise Mathematics.

Hello!

First, you have to start with NCERT books from 5th std to 12 the std. This you should do thoroughly for at least 1 year to clear your basic concepts.After that you may start with some reference books like Indian polity,India after independence. Also start reading Hindu newspaper daily. Learn to analyze each thing,incidence like their background, reasons,effects,advantages, disadvantages and their correlation with others if there. The most important "START WRITING". With the time u will learn the most important skill for UPSC I.e. to write concise and quality answers. Start with these and will aid you further guidance as you proceed further.

Thankyou!

Hope it helps!

hey,

It is just the google suggestion for your searches to help you to choose fast.As the acronyms UPSC and UPPSC are quite similar,it will show like that.No need to worry about that.
