The Union government has approved modifications to the Civil Services Examination, 2013, notified on March 3, 2013. If you think you can handle both the things, then go ahead with the job, else Drop it!!! But I can surely tell you this, job + UPSC preparations can get messy, so really think about it. Take a notepad and calculate how much time you can give to studies with job (this study time will just be study time, nothing else). At least 6 hours study for a day is a must. If you can handle that then I don't think you will have any problem. Make sure you count all your pros and cons too, like you are a quick learner or slow catcher, etc. Some important things the candidate should keep in mind is that the candidate should always use the word ‘nation’ instead of country. It will have a positive impact on the content of the essay. The candidates should also read some of the famous speeches of the world leaders such as the tryst with the destiny speech of Jawaharlal Nehru and the likes. These speeches will give a overall picture to the candidates. The candidates should follow a Big Picture Approach in writing and Essay it means that the imagination should be free flowing and the effect of one thing with its counter effect and the consequential effects on the society. The Cascading effects should also be mentioned in the essay with all the possible solutions for such effects. Recent years the number of options (to choose from) in the essay paper is reduced to four. This time also the choice for the candidates is expected that it will remain four. The syllabus of the IAS Main Essay paper mentions that the candidate is expected to write an essay on the specific topic. The candidates are expected to arrange their ideas in an orderly fashion and to write concisely. Credit will be given for effective and exact expression. The IAS Syllabus and other services like the IPS and Income Tax is the same, as it is a single exam conducted by UPSC and the syllabus is also set by the UPSC. The Civil Services Examination consists of two successive stages: (I) Civil Services Preliminary Examination; and Civil Services Main Exam(Written & Interview) for selection of candidates. All graduates are eligible to take this examination. Minimum age required is 21 years but the upper age limit may range between 28 to 35 years, varying from State to State. The State Governments usually allow relaxation in upper age limit to the scheduled castes/scheduled Tribes, Ex-Servicemen, physically handicapped and the employees of the State Government. Some vacancies are reserved for various other categories, which differ from State to State. The examination is conducted as an all-India competition but during the interview it is desirable for the candidates to know the language, culture, customs etc of the concerned State. The number of vacancies being limited, the examination offers a tough competition to the aspirants and only the candidates with thorough preparations may expect to be successful.
