What should be your first step to start preparation for IAS exam?
Every year lakhs of aspirants prepare and take the exam to secure a job by IAS exam, but as we all know just one or two thousand candidates were selected from them. So it is important to make a proper strategy for the exam to succeed in the exam.

Step 1: Know the Exam Pattern
First Step to Start IAS Preparation

The first step towards Civil Services is to familiarize yourself with the pattern of the examination.


The Civil Services Exam is conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) each year. It is conducted in 3 stages:

Stage 1: Preliminary Examination (Popularly known as CSAT)

There are two papers in Prelims exams – namely Paper I and Paper II.
Paper I tests you on General Studies and Paper II tests you on Aptitude. Qualifying Paper I lets you appear for the Mains examination. 
Paper II is only to analyze you i.e it is only of qualifying nature.The marks scored in Paper II are NOT added for the overall merit of the Civil Services Preliminary Examination.

Paper I (General Studies)

200 Marks

Duration: Two Hours

Number of Questions: 100


Paper II (Aptitude)

200 Marks

Duration: Two Hours

Number of Questions: 80


Stage 2: Main Examination (Also known as Mains)

The Main Examination will consist of written examination. The written examination will consist of 9 papers of conventional essay type i.e descriptive in nature.


Stage 3: Personal Interview

Candidates who obtain minimum qualifying marks in the Main Examination as may be fixed by the Commission at their discretion, shall be summoned by them for an interview for a Personality Test.

If you find this helpful, you can also learn the second step towards IAS preparation.
