What can I do for UPSC exams after 12th?
-
First of all, UPSC is not an exam it is a government body which conducts various exams. If you are asking for Civil services exam under which IAS IPS and IFS falls then I suggest you to read NCERT books from class 6th to 12th of Economics, Civics, History, Geography and Science because these are the basic pillars of the examination point. After completing them you can use online contents like Mrunal Patel Sir, Study IQ and so on. But for now you must read all ncert. -
Hello Dear,
You have just completed 12th. You will have to go for graduation. So, don't make a time table for UPSC now. Whenever you get some time, do revise all the topics of History, Geography, Political Science that you have read in your school. Now come to the current affairs section. Do read some newspaper, read the important exam oriented issues. This will definitely help you to score a good mark in UPSC. -

Dear Yash,
Why not? You're eligible to write UPSC examination after 12th. They are NDA &NA (National defence academy), SCRA (Special Training for Railway apprentice). But, if you are aspiring to Administrative services, then Bachelor degree in any stream is a must. All the best for your future.
