Actually I am in 10th grade and I am planning to go for civil services examination and I am taking physics chemistry maths with economics in 11th.I wanted to know what should I do after 12th other than engineering which helps me clear the examination.

Civil services exam asks for simple graduate as eligibility to appear for the exam. It doesnâ??t differentiate between any type of graduation. Looking at your ambition . You have 2 yrs of schooling and Min.3 years of graduation in your hand. In case the optional stays A graduation in your choice of optional subject will help you multipurpose, get you your graduation degree and help you prepare the optional with good help of teachers/faculties of your future institute. In case the optional goes A graduation which helps you compliment your overall preparation. As from your present Class XI subjects You can do BSc (Maths/Phys/Chem) or M.A/ B.A (Economics) But I still suggest , go for any graduation where you have general interest or aptitude. As the student years are nurturing time to develop all your faculties from a responsible student to responsible citizen and good human being. A strong interest when meets your aspiration (Civil Services) will definitely help not only to crack the exam but be a good role model to all.

Yes definitely, Coaching or tutoring is basically to schedule your preparation and structure them timely. If you are self driven and can manage your time well then preparing for IAS becomes an enjoyable process. The exam needs discipline and self-management skills. In fact all successful candidates speak of self study the most crucial aspect. You have a choice when it comes to taking coaching but when it comes to self study thats the only way. Just cheer up .Check out the study plans/ resources in various online portals , Start the journey of preparation. Create your own daily activity list and go for it.. All the best

Read The Hindu and online resources to gain fundamental knowledge. Know more about India and its administrative wings. Remain in "Being Curious mode" . read a good competitive magazine and as you go in third year . if you can take online/offline assistance I am sure you can achieve it . Just be in curious mode ..acquire knowledge and read a lot..

We all think .its a time frame which can help us complete preparation. I strongly feel IAS exam preparation gets you in a different mode all together. The basic time to reach the mode is 6 month of categorical reading preparation and after that its all reading more, revising and writing and again revising updating...you have to turn pages and read...(how quick n how fast you do depends on you)

Till the time you don't see yourself where you want to be this IAS exam becomes an addiction. Aspirants try and keep on trying till the time rules make them ineligible. The essential recipe is hardwork , positive outlook and determination and destiny too. If all things fall in place single attempt is perfect or else it becomes a test of your patience , sacrifice and definitely continuous hardwork. Finding a mentor to direct and channelise your effort can make the journey more streamlined. Many of us are there and have responded to your query you can reach any one.
