VarshaMalik Sayswhr cn i get the syllabus for upsc prelims....?
Palak Mathur SaysI have been working in IT for past 4 years. Trying my luck in Civils.
UnUnderstood SaysHey if u are working for past four years den how many attempts are there for u??
Hey,i am aspirinig for IPS but have a doubt.As i am working wid tcs for past one year i am reluctant to leave the job and give a full effort for upsc,as it is the toughest exam possible.I am thinking about joining an mba program dis year and den keep preparing for UPSC exam.Also there is a age factor as i am already 24 yrs of age.Suggest me if its practically possible?

Currently i am in chennai.UPSC is a big gamble,if i dont succed den i wont have a relevance of my work ex also.And i more thing which is holding me back is dat few astrologers told me not to go for ias or ips.But the only driving force wid me is my interest in dat field.

Palak Mathur SaysIt would be good. But if you do not want to take risk then try to manage your time well with your job.
pankaj071987 Says@PALAK........same is the case wid me.....as well........ i stay delhi...... plz suggest me wot to do..........:-(
Palak Mathur Says@pankaj071987 Explain your situation. Hard marz aur mareez ki dawa alag hoti hai yahan!!
pankaj071987 Sayse1 i work at some IT company but i aspire to bcum an IAS. maine GS ki taiyyaari bhi shuru kardia hai...........but i feel k job ke saath prep karne ke karan im unable to put loytt of time on it............. cant leave job as it is necessity 4me now........
See, most of us who are working and want to follow our dreams to be part of civil services face the same problem. We cannot leave jobs because of various personal and family reasons. So, what is the solution. The solution lies in managing time well, which is easier said then done. But at least we should try.
First of all, make a timetable for each day from today till your Prelims in May next year. You know how much time you can devote after coming back from office. So, devise your schedule accordingly. Before that make up a list of Subjects and Resources that you will read and assign them place in schedule. Follow this schedule as far as possible. Take buffer time into account also.
You can modify your schedule whenever you feel. But have a schedule before you begin your studies along with the list of resources that you will follow and stick to that.
pankaj071987 Saysthis would be my 1st attempt.... so all im looking to is clear the prelims dis time(CSE-2012)...... as far as resources are concerned i hv the books for gs and CSAT............... moreover, im looking for mains in MATHS & ELECTRICAL ENGG subject ...... plz provide sum info for them ......
Before selecting Maths and Electrical engineering, answer my few questions. Are you really very good in them? Have you solved any of the previous years question papers? How do they went? If not good, then please do not select them as you will not get ample time along with your job to work on them.
What resources do you have for GS and CSAT?
im an electronics engineer so these are the subjects i hv gone through in my engg days..... i hvnt seen any previous papers for these subjects ..... but my interest lies in them.... so i thght of choosing these subjects....... but im also unaware about other subjects ......
Resources are: XI TO XII geography & history ..... indian polity by laxmikanth , bipin chandra history, mjid hussain for geography ........
Palak Mathur SaysIf you have interest in them and you have solved one or two papers then only select the subjects.
pankaj071987 Saysi hv seen most of the ppl taking geography & Public admin............ do u feel these subjects are easier than the above mentioned. Moreover, do u feel i can take these subjects and go well along with my job............. HELP!!!! HELP !!!!
Palak Mathur SaysNot necessarily. It will depend on your interest and above all aptitude for these subjects rather these two things - interest and aptitude - are important in selecting any subject as an optional.
