  • In 11 th and 12 th standards choose subjects that aligns with your interests and requirements for the civil service examination (CSE). For example, subjects like History, Geography, Political Science and Economics can be beneficial.
  • Graduation you'll need to complete a bachelor's degree from a recognized university. During your graduation, start preparing for the CSE.
  • Civil Service Examination: understand the exam, Coaching(optional), Self-study, gather study materials, current affairs, answer writing, practicing mock test and a clear study plan helps you to clear the exam.

Appear for the exam CSE is conducted by union public service commission (UPSC)

The exam has 3 stages:

Along with your studies you also focus on general knowledge, current affairs, and leadership skills .

After graduation, you need to prepare for the UPSC Civil Services Exam , which is mandatory to become a District Collector.
