mrinalini048 9th Oct, 2021

Hey!

In actuality, class 12th marks don't matter much for UPSC. This is due to the fact that in order to be qualified for the UPSC, you must be a graduate in any discipline. As a result, you must complete graduation. There is no minimum % required for UPSC eligibility in 12th or graduation. The UPSC eligibility requirements are as follows:-

  • A bachelor's degree from a recognised university in any discipline is required.
  • Age limit(Minimum)- To be eligible for UPSC, you must be at least 21 years old as on August 1of the year in which you fill out the form.
  • Age limit(Maximum)- Maximum age limit is 32 years, with a three year relaxation in the upper age limit for OBC and five year relaxation in the SC/ST category.

There are three phases to the UPSC civil services test.

  1. Prelims Exam- It is an objective paper with a qualifying nature, therefore you just need to qualify it so that you will be eligible for the mains exam.  The score or marks you receive in the prelims exam are not summed up or included in your final merit. There are two papers in your prelims exam:- General Studies 1 and General Studies 2(csat). Each paper has a time limit of two hours.
  2. Mains Exam:- This is a descriptive or written exam. There are nine papers in all, which are mentioned below-
  • Compulsory Indian Language
  • English
  • Essay
  • General Studies 1
  • General Studies 2
  • General Studies 3
  • General Studies 4
  • Optional 1
  • Optional 2

The Compulsory Indian Language and the English Language are qualifying in characters. All you have to do is quality them. You will not be considered for merit list based on your performance in these two papers.

3. Interview- After passing the mains, you must go through an interview phase, which is more of a personality exam than a knowledge test.

which optional subject has less syllabus in upsc exam

anchaltibrewal2001 5th Oct, 2021

Hello Bindu,

hope you are doing good.

Generally Optionals like Anthropology, Sociology and Public administration is considered to be having less syllabus compared to all others and it's study material is also easily available.

However, If you have interest in your Graduation subjects then it can also serve as a nice optional subject for you, as most of the topics would have been covered during your graduation.

Hope this helps. All the very best!

can an average student clear upsc exam

SREYASHI SEN 4th Oct, 2021

Hello Aspirant...

This is only a myth. If your question is “Can an average student crack IAS?”, YES ! So, aspirants should keep in mind that “Grades do not define intelligence” and remove the blockade that an average student cannot clear the UPSC exam.

NCERT Notes for UPSC Exam: Monthly Maga
UPSC Syllabus: Current Affairs Quiz
UPSC Mains: UPSC Books


I hope it helps.

Regards.
