Being a part of civil services, is a great achievement. You are put one notch above the rest, if you work for the Civil Services of India. It offers many job opportunities, and most of them have become the career choice of the majority of youth of India. There are some jobs which are the most popular, like the Indian Administrative Service (IAS). If you are an IAS officer, you get the major responsibility to manage the bureaucracy and work for the administrative block of the government of India. However, becoming an IAS officer is a challenging task. You have to undergo the three tough stages before finally being recruited as an IAS officer. While the IAS prelims decide your aptitude for the post of IAS, your performance in the mains exam decides your ranking in the merit list. This follows an interview which tests your personality and finally, you are chosen for the IAS training.

It takes a lot more than just mugging up the syllabus, to clear the IAS exams. The exams stretch for an entire year and you have to give months before the exam, for a thorough preparation. It must also be kept in mind, that there are thousand others like us, who are preparing for the same exam. So, our preparation has to be way better than the rest, and major emphasis must be laid to the current affairs. This is required in all the three stages which lead to your final recruitment. Also, while you are preparing, you must not shut your eyes and ears and must be highly vigilant. UPSC, which conducts all civil service exams, keeps making changes to the syllabus, for our own betterment. Like this year, CSAT has been introduced to the IAS prelims exam. It is a civil service aptitude test which will be a common test for all the candidates. It is a replacement for the optional subjects in the IAS prelims. So, for news like this, you must keep yourself updated with the recent acti vities of UPSC. Also, make sure that you are well prepared for IAS mains before you appear for IAS prelims. It is mainly because you do not get much time to prepare for IAS mains, after the result of IAS prelims is declared. While preparing the syllabus, simultaneously, stay in constant touch with the current affairs and keep practicing from the model question papers.

As you can see, there is a lot of effort that goes for IAS preparation. In fact, all the exams conducted for entry into the civil services, are highly challenging. So make sure, you have all the recent updates, like the csat this year; also do not confine your studies to the prescribed books. Learn from supplementary notes and put in extra efforts to secure your seat as an IAS officer.
