For clearing IAS exam there are 3 steps namely the Prelims exam, the main exam and then the interview. The going becomes tougher at each step. The basic requirement is ability to study a lot (read a lot) and be able to retain the essence of what you have studied. Judge yourself if you have a good retaining power and whether you are able to retain events, dates, names etc with ease. The preparation is started by choosing the right optional subject and study the same in detail. You need to be aware of the current events also. You need to know about the major policy decisions taken by the Govt, their dates and the reasons for them. You need to know basics of most of the general subjects like general science. The prelims exam is a multiple choice question paper with negative marking in it. The given alternative answers are quite close to each other and hence guesses made really do not work. Read a lot of news papers specially "The Hindu'. Join some coaching classes and appear in as many mock tests as possible as a part of preparation. The next exam is in June 2011, so you have less time in your hands.

Hi Rahul,
First of all you need to understand what exactly you are looking for if you want to go for a regular MBA or distance education or you want to some technical course like SAP which is highly in demand now a days. So, I would suggest you to ponder on your interests, career aspirations, whether or not you would like to go for a full time program & if you plan for SAP or full time MBA are you ready for high investment.
Once you have considered all these factors and you have come to a decision as to what kind of a course you want to go for then we can guide you further.
I would like to add here that if you want to go for a regular MBA the eligibility is graduation degree from a recognized University so keep that factor as well in mind while deciding on the course.
Hope this will be of help.
Thanks,
Pooja
