The Civil Services Examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission is one of the most challenging exams in the country. The examination is divided into three stages i.e, the Preliminary examination, the Mains examination and the Personal Interview. Only those aspirants who are graduates from recognized universities are eligible to take up the examination. The IAS age limit is 21 years, i.e, no candidate below the age of 21 years would be allowed to take up the examination. There is no right time to begin your preparation. The earlier you start the preparation, the better it is. Since the UPSC syllabus is vast, the college-going students can start their preparation along with their graduation course so that the preparation strategy can be spread over 2 – 3 years, leaving ample time for revision before the examination. Here are a few tips for college students preparing for the most prestigious exam while completing their graduation.

DO’s

Go through the UPSC notification to understand in detail, the eligibility criteria, the requirements, the UPSC syllabus etc. Also, read about the various services that you could opt for after clearing the exam.

0. Make Newspaper reading, a habit:
The newspaper is the Bible for UPSC aspirants. The importance of current affairs and newspaper reading in UPSC preparation cannot be emphasized enough. Hence, the aspirants must start reading the newspaper and make themselves aware of the current happenings. An aspirant must learn to differentiate between general news and the news that is important for UPSC preparation. In the initial stage, have a copy of the syllabus with you while reading the newspaper. Eventually, you will be able to pick and choose the news and the facts that are important for preparation.

0. Start reading NCERT books:
NCERT books help the UPSC aspirants in building a strong foundation for further preparation. The aspirants can kick-start their preparation by reading class 6 to class 10 Geography, History, Political Science and Economy NCERT books. One reading of all the NCERT books would suffice at this stage.

0. Go through some basic books essential for the preparation:
There are certain basic books that every aspirant goes through. Though there is no standard book list, you can make a booklist according to your needs and start reading those books once you have completed reading the NCERT books.
