Sir i want to become an ias officer. Im from Telangana state Ive completed upto inter in Ts. which is best option for degree+civils course in hyderabad Institutions or sarat chandra ias academy in vijayawada??

Sohamsengupta8 30th Apr, 2022

Hello Student

First of all you have to take graduation with honours which will be better from social science or political science or economics or English. Completion of graduation you have to take admission in any of the reputed guidance or coaching centre or institution after verifying their activities and success record. If you are a student of Andhra Pradesh then your choice should be better if you get admission in any of the reputed institution for IAS guidance in Hyderabad.

Hope this will help.

can a ias officer earn 100 rupees per second

Shivanshu 18th Apr, 2022

Dear aspirant !

Hope you are doing great ! What thing you are asking about ? For an ias officer it is impossible to earn 100 rupees per second . Even how can you think of that . Do you know the salary of ias officer ?

According to the 7th Pay Commission, the basic salary of an IAS officer is Rs 56,100 . In addition to the salary, an IAS officer is also given several other allowances, including Travel Allowance and Dearness Allowance. Reports state that the total salary of an IAS officer is more than Rs 1 lakh per month.

So not possible to earn that much money !

Hope it helps you !

Thank you

piyush singh 17th Apr, 2022

Hello Aspirant  ,

Both UPSC and NEET are one of the most famous and competitive exams in India ,You can also give both the exams without any problem .

As you know chances of selection in UPSC CSE is very low so everyone should have a backup plan and if you qualify NEET and get a good college you will have a very good backup and bright future so even if you unfortunately fail you will have a backup .

You can do your UPSC preparation during your course period and also choose  a medical optional which will help you get better marks .

Hope this helps.

Narayani 2nd Sep, 2022

There is no degree that guarantees you a rank. The only thing is that you must choose a subject that you can do, that you are good at, and that you are interested in.

-----------------------------------) Discipline is the key to crack UPSC, so you need to make a routine/ time table and follow it .


----------------------------------)Read newspaper like the Hindu or Indian Express  and magazines like Yojana, Kurukshetra, Economic and Political Weekly  to keep yourself updated with the current events and issues.

----------------------------------) take short breaks in between your studies, studying continuously can be brain tiring and it becomes difficult to focus and study with concentration, so take breaks to relax and refresh your brain otherwise you won't be able to retain whatever you read.

-----------------------------------)Choose your optional subject wisely , choose the subject you have interest in.

----------------------------------)Make short notes for each subject, these will be your life saviour and will help you in your revisions a lot as syllabus is wide

----------------------------------)Set daily goals like I have to cover these many topics today, weekly goals like I have to  cover these chapters this week and practice their questions too, by the end of this week and similarly set monthly goals to cover the syllabus and meet them without any fail.

----------------------------------)Revise :- there's no point of preparing for the exam if you couldn't recall anything in the UPSC Examination so you should stress on revision as well.

----------------------------------) Your mains examination is in written, so you need to work your speed and also work on improving how to present the knowledge you have on paper, so answer writing practicing should be your priority

----------------------------------)Solve previous year question papers and mock test papers ;- You should solve these , it will give you idea of types of questions asked and their difficulty level and will help you a lot.

----------------------------------)Also work on your communication skills and personality development as it plays an important role in your interview round.
