----------) 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.

Thankyou

It is completely a myth. Every year, a lot of engineering , Medical and Science graduates not only crack the UPSC CSE but they even became toppers such as Akshat Jain, Junaid Ahmed etc about whom you can learn about by searching on google.

I would say there is no such subject which can ensure your chances more. See UPSC is an examination which requires a special attention that is to get a job through UPSC you need to study specifically as per the UPSC syllabus. Thus there are no options available that can ensure you more about the selection. I would recommend you that you should take the subject you like the most. This is a very important point because if you take the subject you like then while studying it you will not feel bored or get exhausted. This will help you to study your academic subject as well as your preparation for UPSC. So take the subject you like the most.

Now you can take some subjects which are in your UPSC syllabus like BSc Geography, Economics etc. As you are science student who can also do your graduation in Arts and Commerce subject as well.  But I assure you that the things you will learn in any of the courses will not be needed exactly in your UPSC preparation. Instead you will find that foundational knowledge to the subject is important. This is the reason why I stated that you should pursue the subject you like and keep a focused plan for your UPSC preparation.

Hi.

According to CDS Exam eligibility criteria, for Education Qualifications, it states that

Candidates who are studying in the final year/semester Degree course and have yet to pass the final year degree examination can also apply provided candidate should not have any present backlog upto the last semester / year for which results have been declared upto the time of submission of application and they will be required to submit proof of passing the degree examination at the time of commencement of course to reach the IHQ of MoD (Army)

Therefore, if you have backlog of a whole semester then you will not be eligible, only after clearing the backlog you can apply for the exam.

Good Luck

Hello student ,

Candidates belonging to General category and OBC (creamy layer) must have attained the age of 21 on 1st August of the year of the Exam but must not have attained the age of 32 on 1st August of the year of the Exam.

Since you wouldnt have attained 21 years of age , you cannot give the exam in the year 2024 thus you would be eligible to write in the year 2025

• Hello Sam,

Look there are two divisions in NCC , one is Junior division and another is

Senior division .

Senior division starts above class 10th on wards

talking about the age limit so the minimum age limit is13 yrs and

maximum age limit is 26 yrs.

There are several pharmacy college that also provides NCC training like

Hindu college of pharmacy provide NCC training  in Andhra Pradesh

NIRMA university in Gujrat its NIRF ranking is 17 in pharmacy sector

and several more college are there.

but if you want to pursue pharmacy  and your college or institute does

not provide NCC training so, you can join NCC as open cadet.

open cadet generally sent to other college or same university which have NCC.

The main benefits for  NCC students are apart from personality development skills it also get a certificate after completing the training.

So, according to me  open cadet joining  can also

a good way out to pursue both together.

Good luck!
