    I want to be an IAS. Nowadays I am pursuing my BCA final year. I want to be on safe side. After BCA I can do MCA but MCA is my backup plan if I might not be able to clear UPSC exam. And I don’t want to waste my parents money and my time. I don’t know how to clear UPSC exam after my BCA. How much time it would take to prepare for the exam and clear it.
