Hello,

First of to become IAS, IPS, or IFS if you meant Indian Foreign Service as a designation will be assigned to you as per the rank you secure in UPSC exam, IAS is the topmost preferred post by candidates, as it offers diverse opportunities in terms of work than other job profile, anyway since you're still in graduation, first of all be acquainted with UPSC syllabus, learn it by heart, it's important to know what to read and what to skip as it's such an extensive syllabus, and then start reading newspaper on a daily basis, and this should continue till your day of interview as it has such importance, focus on news of national and international importance, economy, science and technology,  editorial, basically all the relevant details, and when it comes to study materials go through NCERT first as it will build your foundation strong, Some of the recommended books are as follows;

For Prelims, in case of History refer NCERT Class XI and XII/India's Struggle for Independence by Bipin Chandra, For Indian Culture, refer art and culture by Nitin Singhania, for Geography  refer NCERT Class VI to XII/GC Leong's Physical Geography/World Atlas, for Economics  refer NCERT Class XI/Indian Economy by Ramesh Singh, for International Relations & Polity ;NCERT XII Political Science with current affairs/Indian Polity by Laxmikanth, for CSAT ;Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning by RS Agarwal/M Tyra's Quicker Maths

For  Mains Exam, got through the following for four General Studies Paper;

GS I -  History , Class XI NCERT book with India's struggle for Independence by Bipin Chandra,India after Independence by Bipan Chandra,History of Medieval India by Satish Chandra

In case of Geography refer World Geography and Geography of India by Majid Hussain, GC Leong's Physical and Human Geography with NCERT Class XI book.

For GS II - Polity and International Relations , refer Indian Polity by Lamikanth,India's Foreign Policy by Rajiv Sikri

For GS III - For Economics refer Indian Economy by Ramesh Singh, read ARC report along with Economic Survey and Fiscal Budget.

For GS IV - For Ethics refer a book named Lexicon by Niraj Kumar, also you can go through study material of IGNOU.

Always remember to  keep your resources minimal, read one book many a times instead of many a book one time, revision is the key here as UPSC has got such humongous syllabus, hence it's important you revise regularly and refer limited books.

Go through previous year papers, and apply mock papers that's available in the sites exclusively dedicated to UPSC preparation, and practice answer writing in advance as writing mains is huge task, you can refer topper's answer sheets that is available online in few of the sites.

Hello,

Hope you are doing good.

Coming to your question, There are three stages in the IAS selection process :

IAS Prelims

It is a qualifying exam and candidates have to get a minimum of 33 % to be qualified for the Mains.Consists of 2 compulsory papers- General Ability Test (GAT) and the Civil Service Aptitude Test (CSAT). All questions are objective in nature with negative marking for each wrong answer, where One-third of marks allotted to each question is deducted for a wrong answer.

IAS Mains

It is a written descriptive examination and comprises 9 papers and these are as follows: Paper-A (Compulsory Indian Language); Paper –B (English) which are qualifying in nature, while the other papers like Essay, General Studies Papers I, II, III, and IV, and Optional Papers I and II are considered for the final ranking. Candidates who score above the prescribed cut-off marks in the IAS exam (Mains) will get the summons for the Personality Test. The final ranking is based on the marks obtained by the candidate  in the Main Examination and Personality Test/Interview Round of the IAS exam.

IAS Interview

This is a face-to-face discussion round with the board members where the candidates are assessed by the board members on their personality traits to know if they are fit for a career in the civil services or not. The UPSC personality test will be held only in the UPSC Bhavan in New Delhi.

Good Luck

* 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 also 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
