I have given 12th exam by pcm stream . I want to prepare for upsc what is the best option

Hii Ankit Singh,

Those who want to set up their career in Civil Services will take UPSC exam which is Union Public Service Commission.The UPSC exam process is of three stages first the prelimis Exam, secondly the Mains exam and finally the interview Round.The Basic eligibility criteria is one should have completed graduation with required qualification.So As you are from PCM background opt for Science Group of 3 year graduation degree.Dont opt Engineering Course it will ruin your time.If you opt any 3 year Graduation degree you will have more time to prepare for Civils.Make a good decision.

All the Best..,

Thank you.

Hey Ankit.

As you've completed your Class 12th and want to become an IAS officer, you need to complete any Undergraduation course first to be eligible to take the IAS exam. You can attempt the exam in the final year of your degree hence you cant start it's preparation during you degree too.

There are three stages in an IAS exam- Preliminary Examination, Mains Examination and Personal Interview. The Prelims exam will include General Knowledge and Aptitude. You need to clear the prelims in order to qualify for the Mains exam. You need to choose one of the subject of your choice for the Mains paper. Hence you can choose any subject which you have an interest in.  If you choose to pursue your UG degree in any science field, you can choose that too.

Candidates who clear the Mains exam sit for the Interview. And the final selection is done on the basis of merit in mains exam as well as the Interview.

Best of luck
