ROAD MAP TO CSE

We feel that the overabundance of information available on internet can confuse fresh UPSC aspirants about how to approach preparations for CSE. Because of lack of holistic strategy, majority of the young aspirants end up losing crucial years of their life in only understanding the true nature of this exam.

Now, if you are in college and IAS is your calling, here is what you should do right now:

1. Follow the road-map to CSE.

2. To prepare in the right direction, understand the exam first: Look at the pattern of the exam, syllabus and PYQs (just 2-3 years max)

3. Know how to begin preparation

a. Focus on core themes only: Read standard reference books (NCERTs) on the 4 main subjects.

b. Just start following the NEWS! Pick up any newspaper (The Hindu or Indian Express). Don't worry if you do not understand everything at first. Just start. Learn how to read newspapers.

4. Watch toppers interviews on IAS preparation: This will help you get acquainted with the exam, lend you a fair idea about how to approach the exam, but more importantly will give you the right inspiration.

5. Get in touch with a mentor/Rau's IAS: Rau's IAS offers weekend batches (2+ years in duration) in General Studies Integrated course. The Weekend batches are specifically run keeping in view the learning requirements of college going students. The course is available both in Hybrid/Online and On-Campus modes of teaching.
* College students prefer to study in weekend batches to manage both college as well as IAS preparation. Online classes lend college students flexibility to attend all IAS classes and complete all coursework comfortably.

When to start preparing for IAS exam?

For those who have civil services as their goal, college is the best place to start IAS exam preparation. The 3-4 years of college will make your preparation efficient in terms of pace and duration of the study. Also,

You are already in study-mode and full of energy. There are not so many other commitments in life at this stage. At a later stage there is a lot more inertia to deal with to get back into a studying frame of mind.

You save time: You can easily prepare for CSE, at a steady pace over 3 years alongside college, and give your first attempt in your final year (provided you also complete 21 years of age). You save the crucial years of your youth compared to others who start preparing later. Early entry into the services also ensures more years in service and related promotions.
