Dear Aspirant,
You will then definitely have to manage your time. Time Management will be the key to success in the IAS exam along with a job. There are many who work and study day and night and with a lot of patience and perseverance, they ultimately succeed.
As you say you are almost near to crack the UPSC, and so with a complete focus on UPSC studies, your priority should not be a hectic or very well paying job. Choosing a hectic and demanding job at this moment will not let you find time to study. Therefore, you may definitely go for a job which is just sufficient for paying your minimum m
Dear Aspirant,

Best wishes always.
Dear Aspirant,
Nice to know that you are interested in politics and social services.
For this at the under graduate level, you can choose BA Political Science. At MA level also you can choose Political Science.
Politics and Social services are two different things. You need to decide whether you are interested in government service or social service?

Dear Aspirant,
Very good thinking and a cautious approach as well. I am happy that you are aiming for civil services. Firstly you need to be determined and extremely focused while preparing for the Civil Services examinations. You should not think at all of a fall back options at the very starting stage, since somewhere at the back of your mind, you have the relax feeling that f you cannot make it to civil services there is always something available which will make you run in life.
However, I would surely tell you some of the fall-back options considering your Humanities subjects:

Dear Aspirant,
The first part of your question was good, however reading the last part of your question shocked me.
How can you compare a job in Qualcomm, Facebook with IAS? Are you seriously joking? You are too much random in your career choices. Please do not be so.
I am glad that you approached us for asking about your career before deciding on it.
Since you are an MTech, continuing in your current job for a brief period is recommended. Atleast working for 5 years is necessary. You can definitely aim for Google, Facebook jobs and you will have to start preparing for it while working in the
Dear Gourav,The civil service system is the backbone of the administrative machinery of the country. Civil Services of India can be classified into two types - the All India Services and the Central Civil Services (Group A and B). The recruits are university graduates (or above) selected through a rigorous system of examinations, called the Civil Services Examination (CSE) conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).Please have a look at some popular career option under Public Admin & Government industry :Indian Administrative ServicesIndian Foreign Services OfficerIndian Forest Se
Dear Friend, MBA is comparatively an easy to win battle and opted by so many people, Civil services on the hand will provide you the reputation, Name and fame provided you work extremely hard to qualify it. If you think that you have seriously a very high IQ and potential to undergo strenuous practice for preparation then go for civil services, plus you must find a relevant and prominent coaching center for better preparation. On the other hand if you did MBA in a good branch and then if you got a chance to work with an MNC, nothing can stop you becoming successful. I may opine some names of i
It makes sense to enrol in a post graduate course, or find a job in an academic institution, which gives you ample access to libraries for your Civil Services exam. Enrol for the coaching classes for academics, and in some clubs or institutes which offer opportunities for personality development. It will help.
Meanwhile, do appear for the campus interviews and polish up group discussion and interview skills.

Dear Aspirant,
Which stream 12th exam have you given? Please let me know.
Arts stream would be fine if you wish to pursue Civil Services. As far as eligibility is concerned, any graduate can apply for Civil Services Exams. You may choose BA Political Science or BCom or BSc or Engineering.
Continuing with the current stream you are in, is absolutely fine.

Dear Aspirant,
Nice to know your aspiration to choose IAS as your career.
Which stream have you chosen for 12th? You have not written about that.
However for IAS any stream is fine as far as you study the subjects of IAS and the special subject of your choice very thoroughly.
I would suggest to pursue a normal degree like BA Political Science or BCom, which would not take too much of your time and then you can utlise your time for studying for IAS.
Start preparing for IAS right now so that in three years you will get complete command over the studies and aim for clearing UPSC
Dear Aspirant,
Good to know that being in the very first year of engineering, you are thinking for UPSC exams.
Firstly for IES, you need to be thorough with the Engineering domain knowledge and other general awareness.
Books are available in the market and you will have to read all of them thoroughly and try to remember maximum things. UPSC as you know are very competitive exams and lakhs of candidates appearing for the IES from all over the country.
Further I would suggest that when you reach the third year of engineering, enrol yourself with a good coaching class for UPSC preparation.
Dear Aspirant,
I am very impressed by your aim to become a civil servant by appearing for the UPSC exams.
In your case, self study is the only way through which you can clear the UPSC exam and that too in first attempt itself.
You should be reading a lot (newspapers, magazines) on general topics. Gathering as much information as possible since the general knowledge paper is tough. Always remember that UPSC IAS exam does not require deep mastery in a particular subject but knowledge and information about all the subjects. So do not try to remember everything since brain has limitations, but you
Hello Shivam,
I am sure the above counselor to whom you spoke has properly guided you.
I would just like to add that, sit down and think calmly, where you would like to direct your career option.
Career is not like an option choice. If not "A", then "B". Though we often advise, choose a second option, but it should be from the same stream and not two different streams like what you have chosen, Engineering and civil service exams. eg. If you are unable to clear JEE, you could opt for either a degree in IT or Computer science or BCA, which is linked to engineering.
Ideally sit and do a self int
Dear Aspirant,
Civil Services and Media And Entertainment industry do not have link between the two.
I feel your choice of careers is very diverse and it is very important for you to choose one of them. Choosing one of them should be based on your real and final interests, aptitude, personality and emotional quotient (emotional & psychological factors).
Media and Entertainment industry is exciting, hectic and growth oriented too. Government services on the other hand, are not exciting or glamorous.
A best way I would suggest is that you appear for a psychometric test called as Ideal C
