Hello Aspirant.

Take admission to an undergraduate course of your choice. Start preparing for UPSC along with it. This way, you will get at least three years of preparation time before your first attempt. You will be eligible for your first attempt after your graduation (or in the final year of your graduation).

One thing you can do is try and study the same subjects for your graduation which you want to choose for UPSC. This will make things a little bit easier.

Hope you find this helpful. All the best.

Hello,

UPSC and SSC are examinations for recruitment of various government jobs. These two examinations are very important for those who want well government jobs.

UPSC and SSC have few eligibility criteria like:

• Citizen of India
• Age limit: 18-27 for SSC (relaxation for reserved category) and upto 32 years of age for unreserved categories and relaxation for reserved categories.
• Undergraduate degree for UPSC. For different SSC the educational qualification is different. For SSC GD candidate requires 10th class marksheet, 12th for CHSL and UG degree for JE.

So, you should not worry about marks in class 12th and hence, you are eligible for the examination.

Hope it helps.

All The Best!!

Hello,

UPSC does not give any weightage to class 12th marks. T here is no minimum marks requirement for taking SSC and UPSC. So it does not matters how much do you scored from any board.

What UPSC demands is the graduation degree. You must be graduate and eligible according to age, to take UPSC.

On the other hand SSC, based on exam may require 10th passed, 12th passed or graduation degree as education qualification.

Hope it helps.

All the best!!

Hello,

The printed material of VisionIAS is extremely good. They are prepared by experts of the coaching institute and cover each and every topic comprehensively. The printed material is updated with important current affairs.

The class notes of Vision IAS focuses both on Prelims and Mains. Through these notes aspirants can make well answers for mains purpose. The notes provided by some of the faculty is as good that candidates even don't need to rely on other sources.

I would also advise to complete the NCERTs of 6th-12th within few days and do not try to cram.

So, printed material and Vision IAS classroom notes are sufficient to score. But keep updating your notes through Newspaper so that your notes are not outdated.

Hope it helps.

All The Best

Hello,

The graduation course matters a lot in UPSC preparation. It can either increase your work load in UPSC preparations or may decrease it. Usually students opt for courses like History, Geography, Political Science, etc. for graduation because it is common perception that the subjects will overlap and will help in UPSC. It is true that a substantial portion of the syllabus will overlap, but what if you don't have interest in these or you are not eligible for them.

Students must then choose the course of their interest and based on their class 12th stream. Like in past few years a huge number of engineers are qualifying UPSC. They choose mathematics, physics, etc. as their optional in UPSC.

As you are PCMB student, you have options like BSc. in Botany, Microbiology, Anthropology, Chemistry, Physics, etc. or BTech. etc. You can also opt for BA history, geography, political science, etc.

You can also go through UPSC Annual report, where you can check the number of candidates qualifying UPSC from particular subjects, and many more such details.

Hope it helps.

All the Best!!
