    It is my final year of B.A, I have decided to prepare for UPSC exams and I have a job offer from a well reputed company now and immediately after my collage I will ask to join the company. But UPSC needs lots of preparation. I want to know whether I will be able to prepare for IAS when I am in a job.

    DO NOT LEAVE YOUR JOB RATHER STUDY AT HOME. SELF STUDY OR ONLINE CLASSES THAT’S YOUR CHOICE
    Firstly build your basic concepts in History, Polity, Geography, Basic Economics, General Science ( Class 10 level ). You can refer to NCERT Textbooks or TMH General Studies for Civil Services Preliminary exam
    Initially focus more on facts as mainly you get factual questions in Preliminary exam of CSE.
    For CSAT Paper, you can prepare from any MBA Entrance books. Questions in CSAT paper are easy as compared to questions of any MBA entrance exam.
    Then after getting some understanding of these topics, you can join some Online coaching institute (weekend batch) or if you want you can prepare on your own as well.
    For Main exam of CSE, you should get a thorough understanding of Polity, History, Geography and Indian Economy.
    Read newspaper daily -The Hindu & Indian Express are good. If due to your job you cannot read newspaper daily then you can refer to monthly magazines like PD, CSR etc.
    One magazine Yojana is very necessary. You should read it every month.
    Start Preparing. Best of Luck!

    This question is very common to ask when we are talking about IAS services. But if you want to do preparation for IAS Exam, the best strategy is to focus on preparation. If you are thinking to resign from your current job then in opinion you are doing wrong. There is no need to resign from job you just need mental strength.

    It is observed from the study that working professionals are less stressed as compared to students as professionals have the option to fall back. . Stress is the major barrier in Success in the preparation in the Mains, Prelims and Interview.

    Many people have cleared IAS Exam without quitting their job. SO no need to quit job, just try to join weekend batches or evening classes in some reputed institutes like ChanakyaIASAcademy , rau’s ias , sriram coaching etc

    Yes you can prepare for IAS while working by joining weekend batches or online coaching. Even i am working and i didnt have time for classroom coaching. So i joined online coaching. The coaching which i joined is Pragnya IAS institute situated in Bangalore. They provide offline as well as online coaching. .. .The institute provides live streaming of classes in virtual environament where you can also ask questions on real time basis through video conferencing. They also provide recorded lectures in case you could not attend the virtual class. They also conduct online tests and also provide updated printed material.
    The faculty is very student friendly and also have commendable knowledge of the subject. They also have a library facility where even books are provided for students. The tests are similar to UPSC pattern..

    This coaching have quite adopted to the new changes in the upsc pattern …and the classroom strength is not very large which will help in gaining individual attention…Pragnya ias in recent years has shown good quality in teaching with good teachers.
    Even I have taken my coaching in the Pragnya IAS institute. . I was able to clear mains twice in 2013 and 2014 CSE but unfortunately got stuck in interview . Even they gave me knack to write answers which is the most crucial part of the exam.
