Hello Sangita Gupta,

To get an OBC NCL certificate the candidates parent's income must be less than INR 8 lakhs per annum.

In addition to this, the salary and agricultural income are not to be considered as income for annual year while applying for the certificate.

You are eligible for getting this certificate.

Hello Sneha,

Nice to know that you have decided your career field at an early age. IAS is a prestigious position with a lot of responsibilities still lakhs of students aspire for it each year.

First, I will tell you about UPSC examination. So UPSC conducts examination in 3 phases:

1) Preliminary Examination - Objective type questions with 2 papers (Qualifying stage so marks will not be added in final marks)

2) Mains Examination - 9 papers (out of which 2 will be of qualifying nature) - Subjective type questions - Marks will be counted

3) Personality Test - Interview stage

This total process will be of 2025 marks in total which will be counted for ranking and according to your rank you will get your service.

As you said you are in 9th std, I won't suggest you to start the serious preparation for UPSC from now onwards because preparing for UPSC needs some maturity which develops with time. You can start gradually after 12th with the proper studies. But you can do 1 thing now is that just concentrate on your school studies and clear all your concepts because they will be your base for studying for UPSC. And if possible you can try to make a habit of reading newspaper. Just try to read it for overall understanding and knowledge to make a habit and create awareness and don't read it from UPSC exam point of view.

Just Enjoy your school life at this moment with your studies.

All the Best!!

There are no such rules about the compulsory indian language paper. You can select any language as your compulsory elective provided the paper you are choosing must be known to you. This is because if you enroll for a new language and try to learn it then you have to devote more time to it and as a result your preparation of other GS papers may get hampered.

So I would say you can choose any paper but its better to choose a language which you know and you can read and write the language fluently.

I am an aspirant. Just having one question. Did you study Hindi in class 11 &12?

Hi Aspirant,

It all depends on your personal preferences. Graduates in finance or economics are not allowed for foreign service, although mathematics and statistics are allowed. Any graduate is welcome to apply for IAS.   For IAS, many people have a BA in sociology, and for IPS, they have a BA in psychology. In UPSC, geography is the most vibrant and populated subject. Little has been said about physics, chemistry, and biology. Finally, you choose your subject based on your own decision/conscience rather than being influenced by others. You know what you desire and what your capabilities are. Take advise, but don't be influenced by it. If you want some advice, I would recommend Bsc. Geography Hons is superior to physics and computer science. Also geography help you in your 3 years of college which will help you while preparing for UPSC (In prelims, mains GS1&GS3 and mains optional)

Hopee this helps.

Good Luck!
