Dear Aspirant,
~Its good to see a fire in you to crack the Civil Service Exams straight after your 10th board exams.Its always beneficial to choose your goal in earlier stages of life.
~These exams are conducted by the UPSC every year,for the enrollment of citizens in the highest civilian posts.
~I personally would recommend you to opt for ARTS STREAM after your class 10th if you are so determined.
~The arts Stream would keep you in good knowledge of the Vital subjects such as the INDIAN HISTORY,GEOGRAPHY,PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION and POLITICAL SCIENCE.
~These subjects are present in the list of optional subjects for the Mains exams of the Civil Services.Also these subjects are highly scoring and thereby even the Non-Arts subjects opt for these.
~The success rate of these subjects as compared to other subjects has been much higher in the past years.
~Also,the ARTS social subjects form the backbone of the Paper-1 of the preliminary exams.You can keep pace with all preparations for both the Mains and Preliminary exams together.This hands you a double advantage,and saves time in a better way.
~~If you are determined to reach your goal,and work hard,then there is no reason why you won't succeed.
Wish you luck!!

dear friend,

for civil services you have to complete your graduation.
in civil Services subjects are related to ARTS like History, Geography, Philosophy,Psychology,Geology. so i recommend you to choose arts stream and do graduation.

for preparation of Civil Services Exam study 6th to 12th NCERT books.
Continuous reading news papers and Magazines and increase your GK. also keep solving previous year question papers.



Good Luck.......

Hi Aspirant,

It is good that you are keen interested about your career and want to start preparation from now.

In real candidates who want to be appear for civil service exam should start the preparation from this age.

So that after graduation you could give a proper shape to your study and preparation.

In this age you have need to cover GS portion.

You should be aware about current affairs, study competitive magazine like Pratiyogita Darpan.

GS Portion is very broad, it has no limit and it can�t be covered in short preparation.

You can do graduation in any stream according to your interest.

You should choose optional subject of your interest and if this subject would be in your graduation will be better for you.

Best of Luck�
