I am preparing for UPSC, so I can help you with this question much better. There are 3 stages you have to cross to become an IAS officer. First is prelims then Mains and lastly interview. In prelims, there are MCQ questions regarding current affairs, science and technology, general studies, etc. There are two papers in prelims both are of 200 marks. The first paper is just for qualification and the second paper is for ranking. You need to score minimum 120-130 marks out of 200 in prelims. In Mains, there are 4 general studies paper which includes history, science, economics, etc. Two optional papers that you may take physics, chemistry...more
