Re: In which year of B.Tech course should I start concentrating on IAS preparation? Are magazines like competition success helpful for IAS preparation?

Dear if you are going to get admission in B.Tech in this year then it is better for you but if you wants to start preparation for this examination then I would like to suggest you that you should start your preparation for this examination from second year of your B.Tech because this is the starting of your college study and you can not manage everything easily in the college also and when you will learn everything about the examination pattern, projects, assignments in the colleges then you will be able to manage your further study of college and can easily complete your next 3 years so now you have to concentrate on your graduation first then when you complete first year of your bachelor's degree successfully then start preparing for this examination by using various books

If you are in regular B.Tech then it would be tough for you to join coaching institute for preparation but you must start preparation at your house because this thing will make your perfect for future challenges in the examination and you can use these following books in your preparation from second year of B.Tech

Romila Thapar - Indian History
Bipin Chandra - Indian History
Gopal Krishna - Indian History
Charles Farrow - Geography
NCERT Books - Geography
Khullar - Indian Geography
School Atlus
Mishra and Puri - Indian Economy
IC Dhingra - Economy of India
Economic Times
Economic Survey
Social Welfare Magazine
Ram Ahuja - Social Problems in India
DD Basu - Indian Constitution
PM Bakshi - Constitution of India
NCERT All Level Books for Science and Technology
Spectrum for Science and Technology
India Year Book
Competition Wizard
Civil Service Times
Civil Service Today
Frontline
Yojana
Kurukshetra
The Hindu
Chronicle

You should give at least 3 hours everyday for your preparation from starting and when you get good command over some subjects and you feel that you can do it well then you can increase your time for another subject and if possible then you should give more and more time for CSAT and General Studies because according to the new pattern of this examination, UPSC board focused only on general studies and it is at least 70% part of entire syllabus so just think about the importance

All the best

You can start the preparation either in the pre-final year or final year of your graduation and after you complete it you can apply for the exam.

i think you should start preparation from the first year of your course.,
magazines like csr are very good and they also keep you updated with the current scenario.
