hi user
To Join IAS (Indian Administrative Service), you will first have to complete your graduation. After class 12th, opt for the course which you are interested in and complete your graduation in that course. You will have to appear for UPSC exam for becoming an IAS officer.
To become an IAS officer ,what you need to do is : you’ll have to write an exam (UPSC exam) which has three Stages as follow:
Stage I: Preliminary examination - A qualifying test advertisied in Feb-March and held in June-July each year. Results are published in mid-August.
Stage II: Main examination - Held in October every year. Results are usually published in the second week of March.
Stage III: Personality Test (interview) - held in December each year. Final results are usually announced in May .
On the basis of the score of the Preliminary ,you’ll be qualified for the mains exam and on the basis of the mains and PT test your rank will be decided.
Here ,its all about the Preliminary exam:-
The pattern of the Preliminary examination up to 2010 was based on the recommendations of the Kothari Commission (1979). It included two examinations, one on general studies worth 150 marks, and the second on one of 23 optional subjects worth 300 marks. Until 2011, when it was revamped the preliminary pattern was sustained with only minor changes once every ten to fifteen years.From 2011 onwards, the preliminary examination, now popularly known as the Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT)(officially it is still called General Studies Paper-1 and Paper-2), intends to focus on analytical abilities and understanding rather than the ability to memorize. The new pattern includes two papers of two hours duration and 200 marks each.
Both papers have multiple choice objective type questions only.
They are as under:
Paper I tests the candidate's knowledge on current events, history of India and Indian national movement, Indian and world geography, Indian policy panchayti Raj system and governance, economic and social development, environmental ecology, biodiversity, climate change and general science ,Art and culture.
Paper II tests the candidates' skills in comprehension, interpersonal skills, communication, logical reasoning, analytical ability, decision making, problem solving, basic numeracy, data interpretation, English language comprehension skills and mental ability.
In August 2014, the Centre announced that English marks in CSAT-II will not be included for gradation or merit and 2011 candidates may get a second chance to appear for the test next year.In May 2015, the Government of India announced that Paper II of the preliminary examination will be qualifying in nature i.e. it wouldn't be graded for eligibility in Mains Examination & a candidate needs to secure at least 33% marks in order to be eligible for graded on basis of Marks of Paper I of Preliminary Examination.
All about main exam:
The written examination consists of nine papers, two qualifying and seven ranking in nature. The range of questions may vary from just one mark to sixty marks, twenty words to 600 words answers. Candidates who pass qualifying papers are ranked according to marks and a selected number of candidates are called for interview or a personality test at the Commission's discretion
According to the new marks allocations in Civil Service Examination 2013 there are some changes made in the examination according to the suggestion of the Prof. Arun. S. Nigavekar Committee.However, after some controversy, the qualifying papers for Indian languages and English were restored to the examination.
