Civil
Services Exam, conducted by the Union Public
Service Commission of India every year, is the most attempted
exam in the world. While the number of candidates
sitting for the Graduate Record Examination (GRE)
might be larger, the exam is held around the world and
around the year; whereas, the Civil Services Exam (CSE),
popularly called IAS Exam, is held only in India and
only once a year. It is a long three-stage exam, and
from the date of publication of Notification to the
publication of final results of successful candidates,
is a long one and a half year period. Its pass
percentage is atrocious, if anything: out of about
300,000 who fill up the application form, only about
300 to 400 are finally recommended - a pass percentage
of one in a thousand! This makes it one of the most
difficult exams in the world, and despite a
recruitment process that is far from perfect, it
ensures that the very best are selected. While, with
the liberalisation setting in, the private sector has
offered far more lucrative offers for meritorious
students, Civil Services still have tremendous charm
for a large student population. |

What you
require? |
|
If a thousand compete
and only one succeeds, it is obvious that the vast
majority lack something. Among others, you need: |
|
Idea about the
exam. Don't underestimate this point - most people
are just plain ignorant. |
 |
|
Strategy. Plain
study is a difficult way to succeed, if not
impossible. We need to make the process easy. |
|
|
|
Study material.
You won't go anywhere without it. |
|
|
|
Guidance. It is not needed on all
days, but when you do need it, you really need it. |
|
|
|
Hardwork, determination,
perseverance. Hope. Lots of it. |
