Hello there,

If you want to prepare for UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) and you are currently in Class 10 , follow these steps to start early:

1. Choose the Right Stream

• Class 11 and 12:

  • Arts (Humanities): Subjects like History, Geography, Political Science, and Economics will help in UPSC preparation.
    
    

  • Science (Bio or Maths): If you prefer Science, you can still prepare for UPSC, but Humanities subjects are more aligned with the syllabus.
    
    

• Suggestion:

  • If you choose Science (PCM or PCB), you can pursue any undergraduate course and later switch to UPSC preparation.
    
    

  • Arts (Humanities) is recommended for a direct alignment with the UPSC syllabus.
    
    2. Choose the Right Graduation Course

• UPSC Eligibility: A Bachelor’s degree in any discipline is required.
  
  

• Suggestion:

  • If you pursue Science or Engineering, you can still apply for UPSC after graduation.
    
    

  • If you prefer a strong foundation for UPSC, BA (History, Political Science, or Economics) is a better choice.
    
    3. Understand the UPSC Syllabus

• Preliminary Exam: General Studies and CSAT (Aptitude).
  
  

• Mains Exam: 9 Papers including 4 General Studies Papers, 2 Optional Papers, Essay, and 2 Language Papers .
  
  

• Interview (Personality Test): Focuses on communication skills, confidence, and awareness.
  
  4. Start with NCERT Books

• Study NCERT books from Class 6 to 12 on History, Geography, Political Science, and Economics.
  
  

• Develop a habit of reading newspapers and current affairs regularly.
  
  5. Time Management and Planning

• Class 11 and 12: Focus on building conceptual knowledge and allocate some time to General Studies.
  
  

• During Graduation: Start in-depth preparation for UPSC.
  
  6. Choose an Optional Subject Early

• Explore subjects that align with your interest and the UPSC syllabus.
  
  

• Finalize an optional subject by the time you begin serious preparation after graduation.
  
  7. Coaching or Self-Study

• Decide whether you prefer self-study or need coaching.

• Use online platforms, test series, and UPSC resources effectively.

Hello ,

I hope you are doing well. As per your mentioned query , see there is no restriction for choosing the stream for UPSC exam. For UPSC, you can give exam from any stream. You just have to graduate for it.

Now , analyse yourself in which field you are strong like in mathematics or in biology. Then decide your stream according to that.

I hope this helps !

Thank you!
