    Dear,
    The UPSC conducts various All-India level open competitive examinations every year. You first mention the name of the examination that you want to appear. Because there is differences in the examination pattern. But the common subject for all the examination is General Study. So At first, you start to gain the vast knowledge on the General Study. The General Study as you know comprises the vast area, i.e, Science, humanity courses, English, Reasoning, Aptitude test and Arithmetic etc.. It will take a lot of time for the preparation. So at the initial stage if you make strong to your General Knowledge, then you can click on to the examination. You have also to prepare for other subject according to your examination syllabus. So first choose the examination that you want to appear and then start your preparation. Best of Luck

    ***Hi Friend!!***


    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).


    Coming to the Preliminary exam, it consists of General Science and Aptitudes.


    And the syllabus for the Mains is to select two subjects out of 25 subjects but a combo of same stream is avoided like (Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering).
    And an Indian language out of 26 languages.


    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!***
