The Civil Services Examination is conducted by UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) for selection to IAS (Indian Administrative Services), IPS (Indian Police Services), IFS (Indian Foreign Services) and allied services. The Civil Services Exam is one of the most challenging examinations conducted in the country. The examination has three stages, i.e.
Civil Services Preliminary Examinations (CSP) - normally conducted during the second half of May.
Civil Services (Main) Examinations - conducted during the month of October/November. The successful candidates of the preliminary round are eligible to appear.
The successful candidates in the main examination will be eligible to appear before the Interview Board.
The Civil Services Examination requires intense preparation and the right strategies to get through. The cardinal mistake the aspirants make while preparing for IAS is to base the preparation in the same chronological order as the conduct of these exams. This, however, is not the right approach .The right approach is to start the preparation for the Mains simultaneously with the Prelims. There are several topics that feature in both the exams. Hence, preparation should be done at one go as there won’t be much time between the declaration of the result of the preliminary round and the main exam. The Prelims are only a screening test; it is your performance in the Mains that counts. Besides, there are various other strategies that come handy while preparing:
