    Dear,
    I am glad to inform you that it is the right time to study or prepare for the top most examination like Civil Service. Because the subjects of the CSAT are related to the subjects of the Bachelors degree. So if you prepare or study carefully your bachelors courses, then I think you wont have to work hard after the graduation for the CSAT. Thank You and Best of Luck.

    Re: Is it possible to study for civil services right after finishing 12th?

    Dear Aspirant,
    -Yes.It is definitely possible to start preparations of the UPSC Civil Service Examinations straight after the 10+2 board exams.It is recommended for all because the questions asked in the exams are priorly based on Graduation and class 12th.
    -Although,the minimum Educational Qualification to appear for these exams is having completed your Graduation or Equivalent,from a recognized university under any stream,or be in the appearing year of the same.HENCE,YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR UNTIL YOU COMPLETE YOUR GRADUATION BEFORE YOU APPEAR FOR THESE EXAMS.
    -But you can do start your preparations.
    -Firstly I would recommend you to opt for an Arts subject to complete your Graduation with.The arts subjects have been highly scoring,and hence their success rates is far more than any other subjects.
    -Opt for subjects like Indian History,Geography and Public Administration.They feature among the list of optional subjects and also form the core of the Paper1 in the preliminary exams.Hence,preparations would save time handing you a double advantage.
    -Then,you need to improve your writing skills.Practice essay writing.Get your grammatical and spelling errors.
    -Keep preparing for the General Studies.Keep reading newspaper.Follow the daily newspaper THE HINDU and the monthly magazine PRATIYOGITA DARPAN for better contents,proper representation and excellent English.
    -Keep solving basic mathematics,reasoning and aptitude based questions.Learn comprehension.
    -Solve a lot of model papers.
    -These will keep you in good shape.
    Also maintain a positive attitude throughout.Work hard.
    All The Best!!

    Yes dear;
    You can start building your foundations by starting your civil services preparation's from now on.
    But you need to know that you can not directly jump to main's subject andat present
    you need to stick to the basics and develop your opinions about the current affairs.
    I will suggest you to start reading daily editorial pages of good newspapers and keep yourself updated with current affairs. You can also subscribe to good magazines like pratiyogita darpan etc.
    Good luck...........

    Re: Is it possible to study for civil services right after finishing 12th?

    Hi friend!

    The answer to your question is definitely YES!

    I appreciate your dream of serving the nation.
    Firstly, you need to write Preliminary exam of Civil Service followed by Mains.

    The qualification for the Civil Service is Graduation(Degree). So you need to complete your graduation.
    Coming to the Preliminary exam, it consists of General Science and Aptitudes.
    And the syllabus for the Preliminary is cover everything intermediate level like GK,Biology, everything.

    And the syllabus for the Mains is to select two subjects out of 22 subjects but a combo of same stream is avoided like (Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering).
    And an Indian language out of 28 languages.

    As you're 11th standard, I'd suggest you to go through newspapers, history(Indian), Geography(India) And the problems arising in your state.
    And reading the newspapers is just not the thing, you'd analyse the facts and analyse every stuff you go through.
    The main important thing is to prepare notes of it. It helps you to reckon everything when you just have glance at it.

    And preparing the notes is very good job because you'll never find anything in any book about certain topic which you surely find in dailies.
    Go through two languages of dailies (one, perhaps English and second, your language).

    And section of subjects for Mains depends on what course you do in your graduation.
    After deciding the course, then go should go through previous year papers.

    And you can also join a institute just 2years before writing the preliminary exam.

    You should create your own time-table because proper planning and execution is more important for success.

    More and more rehearsals are also important!

    I wish you all Success!

    i would say it is the best way for preparing for civil services exam as it is a tough nut to crack indeed. but nothing is impossible in this world . the applicant who clear the civil services exams are also one of us .they are got anything special that help them to clear the exams . it is because they are so determined and focused for their goal to become an IAS or an IPS officer to serve our nation .

    one more thing that can help you to achieve the goal of becoming an IAS or an IPS officer is self analysis. by sef analysis i mean to say is when you analyse yourself you would come to know where is the problem is between you and your goal.

    after 12th you should try n manage your time so that you can proper time to ever aspect of your studies along with preparation for civil services .
    be focused and determined towards your goal you will surely achieve your goal.

    Re: Is it possible to study for civil services right after finishing 12th?

    Sorry Dear,it is not possible to give civil services examinations right after finishing your 10+2 because the minimum qualification required for the civil services examiantions is
    graduation in any stream from a recognised university.

    The other requirements are that your age should be between 21-30 years .IF you are from OBC or SC/ST then age relaxation of 3 years and five years will be provided to you.

    Nationality: India
    n.

    So, I would like to suggest you to first complete your graduation from a good college with better marks.During your graduation period ,you can prepare for civil services examinations from the coachings like:

    1.RAO'S academy

    2.TIME

    3.Chanakya's IAS academy

    3.Career Point

    4.Vajiram IAS study circle and lots more.


    Civil services examinations are very tough as there is limited seats and competition is very tough for general candidates as they get only four attempts for this exam whereas 7 for obc and no limit of attempts for SC/ST.




    Hope the information is clear to you.

    I am happy in order to show you that it is the correct time to analyze or maybe get prepared for the best the majority of examination like Civil Service. Due to the fact the individuals from the CSAT are matched to the individuals from the Bachelor degree. When you prepare or maybe research thoroughly your bachelors programs, in that case I do believe an individual wont have to give your very best following the school for the CSAT. While,the actual the bare minimum Informative Qualifying measures appearing for these particular checks ishaving accomplished your Graduation or maybe Similar,from your acknowledged higher education beneath virtually any flow,or perhaps be inside showing yr from the same.you can certainly research pertaining to Civil Services exam through now.
    it's essential to examine 6th in order to twelfth NCERT publications, focus on Gk, The english language, Record and try to Clear up Former yr Query documents regarding city products and services exam.
    an individual can put pertaining to UPSC Civil Services exam with your final yr regarding school or maybe right after graduation.

    and you're have to be within just 21 several years in order to 30 years.
