Getting into a top government job is the ambition of many in India.
Among the top bureaucratic jobs in India, IAS stands apart.
IAS is the dream career of millions of aspirants in the country.
What is the full form of IAS?
The full form of IAS is the Indian Administrative Service.
What is the Indian Administrative Service (IAS)?
IAS is one of the prestigious services among the 24 civil services like IPS, IFS etc for which the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) conducts Civil Services Examination (CSE) to selecting the candidates.
An officer selected into the Indian Administrative Service gets exposure in very diverse roles like the collector, commissioner, head of public sector units, chief secretary, cabinet secretary etc.
Not only the experience and challenges but also the scope of making positive changes in the life of millions in India makes IAS a unique career choice.
How to become an IAS officer?
Even though the exam to be undertaken is popularly known as the IAS exam, it is officially called UPSC Civil Services Exam. The UPSC CSE consists of 3 stages – Prelims, Mains, and Interview.
Getting into the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) is not easy considering the competition involved, but not impossible for a candidate with the right attitude and approach.

Civil Services Examination(CSE)
UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) is the government agency responsible for selecting the right candidates for this service. Every year only around 1000 candidates are selected for all 24 services combined.
The number of candidates who apply for the UPSC Civil Service Exam each year is approximately about 10 lakh, out of which around 5 lakh candidates appear on the exam day (prelims).
UPSC Civil Services Examination is widely considered the toughest exam in the world, considering the exam duration (extends 1 year), depth of the syllabus and the competition involved.
The exam has 3 stages:
- The first stage of the exam – Preliminary (objective) – is usually conducted around June.
- The second stage, Mains (written), is conducted around September-October.
- Those who clear Mains will have to face an interview/personality test during the March-May period.
The final result usually comes in May end.

How to Clear the Civil Services Exam?
To clear the IAS Exam, aspirants are advised to have a long-term strategy. Though most of the serious candidates start preparation 9-12 months before the exam date, there are candidates who successfully achieve top ranks with only a few months of dedicated study.
If you are running short of time, you may read the two articles:
- Civil Service Prelims 6 Month Strategy – How Can You Clear UPSC Prelims in 6 Months?
- 100-Day Action Plan to Clear UPSC Prelims
What matters in the UPSC Civil Services Exam is not the duration of the preparation, but the quality of the same.
A disciplined and focused mind with a passion for learning and reading is the basic trait of all successful candidates. The UPSC Civil Services exam is more a test of the analytic and presentation skills along with knowledge gained by the candidate rather than a test that checks a candidate’s mathematical or verbal skills.
To clear IAS, we feel two entities as essential:
- Right guidance – for prelims and mains.
- Right study materials and books.
“ClearIAS” is a humble attempt to provide aspirants with these two basic entities giving stress to self-study.
IAS Exam Eligibility Criteria
The educational qualification needed to appear in UPSC CSE is a degree (graduation) in any subject. Final-year students can also apply. Aspirants may go through the article to the eligibility criteria for writing the UPSC CSE exam.
IAS Exam Number of attempts permitted
The number of attempts permissible for a general category candidate in UPSC CSE is 6. For OBC candidates the number of attempts permitted is 9. SC/ST category candidates will have unlimited attempts till they attain the upper age limit to appear for UPSC CSE.
IAS Exam Age Limits
The minimum age to appear for the UPSC Civil Services Exam is 21 years. The upper age limit for the General category is 32 years, for OBC it is 35 years and for SC/ST it is 37 years.
What is the salary of an IAS officer?
The basic pay of entry-level IAS officers is Rs.56100. However, this is not the full salary.
The total salary is the sum of many components like Basic Pay, Dearness Allowance (DA), Travel Allowance (TA), House Rent Allowance (HRA) etc.
The salary of civil servants (Salary = Basic Pay + DA + TA + HRA) will increase as experience increases. The basic pay of the Cabinet Secretary is fixed at Rs.2,50,000.
IAS syllabus
A good understanding of the UPSC syllabus and exam pattern is the first step for all freshers.
The Civil Services Preliminary exam comprises two compulsory papers of 200 marks each (General Studies Paper I and General Studies Paper-II). The questions will be of multiple-choice, objective type. The marks in prelims will not be counted for final ranking, but just for qualification for the main exam.
A candidate’s rank in the UPSC Civil Service Exam depends only on the mark scored in the Main and Interview.
The written examination (main) will consist of the following nine papers, but only 7 papers will be counted for the final merit ranking. For the rest two papers, the candidate should secure the minimum marks prescribed by UPSC each year. The main exam has 1750 marks while the interview has 275 marks.
IAS Coaching: Now prepare online for the IAS exam
Classroom coaching is not a must to clear IAS.
Now websites like ClearIAS.com provide guidance outside the classroom coaching and free online study materials for those who can’t afford it due to time/financial constraints.
If the aspirant is dedicated and is properly guided, self-study is enough to clear UPSC CSE. You may also read our article: Can I clear the UPSC Civil Services exam without coaching classes?

Mam i am a bba final year student i want to become a IAS officer..
I m week in spoken english.is this can matter..??
What should I have to do?
Sultan+919097355055 says
Yes ..You will have to Appear in the Training..?
Sultan+919097355055 says
Language is an important part in communication. And very important in written communication (Mains). If you have good grab in Hindi, then i prefer you to take the exam in Hindi. More than the medium of your answer, quality of the content is more important.
But you should also improve your English as most resources for preparation are available in English. Also because of its more common usage in current society, you will need good English in your Interview, Training and official communication thereafter.
To improve your English, read good English periodicals like The Hindu and read good books by English authors, even story books can do. Try to remember the words you find new and also use them in your day-to-day life to improve your vocabulary.
Best of luck.
“Practice makes a man Perfect”.
Jyothi says

Ravi Das Parekh says
Clearly, One thing. I haven’t ever read a News Paper completely, Haven’t ever studied a complete book, during Exams, I used to study few Chapters just to pass, skipped hell lot during school time, Passed though, but I have never been studious all my life, I am a Musician, yet, I must get into Indian Civil Services. Saying and doing has to be 2 very different things when it comes to becoming an IAS officer,
My Question is
I have no knowledge about the current affairs, National, International till now, probably nothing. never went deep into it. Never thought about it. After going through the syllabus, I know, I know nothing. Before even thinking of starting, I know, alot of people, who say, that they are preparing and they all look studious and I sometimes get scared and demotivated, not jealous, happy, yet, lose a little hope. that they are preparing so hard that, what will I do if I start now? so I have tended to forget about it for sometime, it’s my fault. best wishes to them that they get it but,
I have never studied, reasoning(just know the literal meaning), aptitude, maths, and all the required subjects for cracking this exam. Been so bad with numbers, I have never practiced, I have hated it all my life but I know, it wont work this way so, what should I do?
I can say, I know 0 about the knowledge of becoming an IAS officer,
If I start from 0, or probably, to be precise, if I start with the knowledge of less than 0, even though I am a graduate, I don’t remember quite anything of what I read before. I just wanted to pass the exam and get over it.
having said all that,
can I ever become Eligible to Crack these Exams?
I will do anything and everything but I cannot go away from home, as I need to earn to live too. All my friends are working, and me, in the verge of singing, rapping and performing, well, that’s all fine, that I am fine at what I do, but I would wanna keep it as a professional passion., do not know where to start, what to study
whom to ask, what to do?
Is it possible for me to start from nothing to an IAS officer?

Mohammed+919097355055 says
we didn’t mean that in order to succeed in IAS exam you need to attend coaching institutes the way you attended school. This not necessary. And this is not a must. Why because, you are already graduates! Apart from optional subjects, none of the questions asked in the examination requires specialized study. If your optional is not your subject of graduation, you might need coaching for that, else it is not a necessity.

Sultan+919097355055 says
IAS Preparation
For an exam that can give you an envied career for life, the prepartions have to be massive. Your IAS Preparations have to be dedicated and half hearted attempts will get you nowhere. With almost 2 lakh students competing for 700 odd posts, its a tough cookie to crack. If you think that its like any exam that you have cleared so far beware it simply isn’t. The Ias exam is like no other is scale and approach and therefore your preprations have to be very different and very wide based. Just knowledge of a subject will get you nowhere. It has to be combined with a jack-of-all-subjects kind of approach.
We hope you will indeed take your IAS Preparations very seriously. The first step towards that is obviously the choice of subjects. Do choose them wisely.

My father served in the Indian Army for 16 years. I have had a successful career in finance to date but would love to be able to be part of the development of India which I consider my mother land and serve my country. I am Chartered accountant by qualification but my vocation is investment related. I am prepared to study for the exams if that is what is needed but is there an alternative route for someone like me to be considered for a post in government or the Indian Diplomatic service? Please advise. Thanks.

Sir i have completed +2 this year from sci (pcm)stream n i m keenly intrested for UPSC exam bt now i m confused about the subjects for graduation.
I have not that much intrest in arts so can i do bsc
Will it be suitable for upsc
Sultan+919097355055 says
Dear friend,
first of all i tell you that if you want to become an ias officer than you have no need to take any special subject
because
there is no any restriction of subjects.
all the graduate candidates are eligible so if you want to clear the examination in first attempt than you should choose the
subjects which you like most for study for your college studies.
because it is very necessary to learn a thing completely because if you have no interest in it than you can’t learn it
properly.
now coming on next point which is preparation for the examination .
to prepare your self for the examination you should follow the points strictly mentioned below.
1. read newspapers like THE HINDU, TIMES OF INDIA, …… daily.
2. except reading your subjects related books you should read some comics like CRONICALS, THE TIMES MAGAZINES……….,.
3. always keep your basics clear ,it is very necessary to learn briefly about the things.
4. give some time to puzzle gaming and one minute gaming ,it will increase your concentration and confidence.
thank you…………

Greetings,
My daughter is very curious and determined to be part of an IAS or IFS.
However, since I’m not that must educated and does not have any experience regarding how to peruse or prepare for IAS or IFS.
Therefore, I seek guidance from people who are more learned or have experience or well versed with processes of becoming an IAS or IFS officer, so that I can try to provide clear opportunity, resources and atmosphere for my daughter to achieve her goal.
Just to add, my daughter promoted to 5th standard this year only.
Request if any gentle soul can share the information or reply me on my email address ([email protected]), than it would be a great help.
Thanks & Regards
Vivek Verma
