Author: Anup Jaiswal

It's always better to start early for the exam like UPSC CSE, which needs a lot of hard work with consistency and determination throughout the journey. Many college students get inspired by their seniors who crack the UPSC CSE and become civil servants and want to become the same. They wander around for right guidance to start their preparation and get lost in brand names and so much of chaos.

Civil Servant is the most respected post which can be achieved by cracking the Civil Services exam conducted by UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) once every year in three phases:

  • Preliminary Examination

  • Mains Examination

  • Personality Test

College students often get influenced by the number of aspirants and start buying a number of books building a mini-library at their home. This should be avoided at all costs, aspirants or any candidate willing to start the preparation should follow standard sources advised by experts.
