    ***Hi Friend!!***

    UPSC is a commission which conducts many exams in which
    'Civil Service Exam'(CSE) is one of them.

    CSE has the most popular misnomer 'IAS exam' or 'UPSC exam'.

    There are
    three phases in the CSE:

    1) Preliminary

    2) Mains

    3) Interview

    Coming to Preliminary:

    There are two papers in the prelims.

    Paper I : Current Events, Histroy , Geography , Indian Polity and Governance, Economic and Social Development, General Issues on Environmental Ecology and Bio-Diversity and Climate change.

    Paper II : Comprehension, Interpersonal Skills, Logical reasoning and analytical abilty, Decision-making and Problem solving, General mental ability, Basic numeracy.

    So you need to cover all that subjects to get through the prelims.


    Coming to MAINS:


    You need to select
    a language from a list of 26 languages.

    And you need to select any
    two optional subjects from the list of 23 optional subjects.

    The list of languages and optional subjects is here :

    Feel free to ask any doubts.
