IAS Preparation

Welcome to the BYJU’s Civil Services Hub. Preparing for the prestigious UPSC Civil Services examination is a demanding, yet deeply enriching experience. It is an examination that aims to choose the best talent for a career in public services of the Union of India. Aspirants who begin this journey, naturally find themselves having many questions and few answers. Questions that abound in their minds include:

  • How do I start my preparation?
  • What are the books and sources recommended to cover General Studies (GS)?
  • How do I choose an optional?
  • Is one year enough to clear this exam?
  • How do I cover current affairs when the syllabus is so vast?

In fact, a good period of 3-4 months of valuable study time can easily be wasted away if such questions are not answered at the beginning of a preparation cycle.
