How can I become Sub divisional officer or District Magistrate?

Hi, To become a district magistrate, you have to appear for IAS exams. Once you clear UPSC civil service exam with a top rank, you will become an officer of Indian Administrative Services (IAS). IAS officer after one or two promotions becomes DM of a district. You will be promoted automatically to the post of DM. But, it is not possible for you to choose the district. Only you can choose the state while filling Mains form and if you manage to secure very high rank, then there are chances that you can get a state of your choice. In order to do well in the exam, you should follow these small tips that will help you attain your goals: 1. You must understand the importance of mock tests. You should make sure to practice at least 15 mock tests if you want to get a real hang of the exam. 1 or 2 tests just won't do the trick. 2. Look at previous years IAS question papers to comprehend how the actual exam is. 3. Revising at least thrice whatever you have read is essential for retention and assimilation. So minimize the sources, else it will be chaos at the end. 4. Read newspapers like The Hindu and The Indian Express. 5. Go through the NCERT books for reading about History, Geography and Civics. 6. Indian Economy by Ramesh Singh can be used to get an idea of various economic concepts and terms. Also, keeping up with the current affairs is important so keep reading the Budget, Economic Survey, Yojana, Kurukshetra etc. 7. For technology, Science, culture and environment studies, you can refer to current affairs books like Pratiyogita Darpan Magazine, Concise General Knowledge Manual- J K Chopra, Manorama yearbook. 8. Last but not the least, you must know the significance of time management and having a proper time table is of utmost importance. Coaching classes are not important as such if you can manage time and studies on your own.
