IAS Exam 2012 Details Syllabus and Tips for Prelims and Mains

85

By Thriller

The IAS Exam in 2012 will be special. Not only will it feature the new CSAT syllabus introduced from 2011 onwards but also the pattern will be different from the 2011 IAS exam. This hub explains all the details relating to the 2012 IAS Exam including the procedure, syllabus, possible exam pattern, books to refer, and tips to crack the 2012 IAS exam.

IAS Exam 2012: The Basics

The IAS Exam will consist of three stages: Prelims, Mains, and Interview (Personality Test). While the Preliminary exam will be objective in nature, the mains will be written while the personality test is verbal.

You have to clear the preceding stage to reach the next stage of IAS 2012 Exam. For instance you will need to first crack the IAS prelims, then appear for the mains, and based on the marks obtained you may be called for the IAS interview, the final frontier.

You can read about the IAS Exam Eligibility to make sure you can appear for the IAS Exam in 2012.

Applying for the 2012 IAS Exam

To appear for the IAS exam you will first need to apply for it. All the three stages of the IAS exam are conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), a Constitutional body answerable to the Union Parliament.

The notification for the Civil Services Preliminary Examination (or just IAS prelims) will appear in the Employment News and on UPSC's website on 04-02-2012 and you can apply either online or through application forms available at the Head Post Offices throughout cities in India.

Remember: You cannot directly appear for the Mains or Interview. Rather you have to first apply for the Preliminary examination conducted by UPSC before proceeding to the next stage.

The last date of receipt of your application is 05-03-2012. At this stage you don't have to send any documents about your age or educational qualifications. They will be required at the time of filling the IAS Mains form.

The Preliminary exam or the first stage of the IAS Exam 2012 will be held on 20-05-2012.

The 2012 IAS Prelims: What You Need to Know

Here is some basic and important information about the Prelims if you intend to appear for the ias exam in 2012.

How I Cracked the Prelims in My First Attempt

Many IAS exam aspirants want to know whether they can clear the ias exam 2012 prelims in their very first attempt? Yes it's entirely possible! Let me explain briefly how I cleared the prelims in my first attempt itself without any coaching and very little guidance.

  • I started preparing for the Prelims just 10 months before but I divided time between optionals and GS appropriately.

I devoted about 8 hours to Sociology every day and about 4 hours to GS including reading the newspaper for 1 hour daily. You should divide your preparation time between GS Paper 1 and 2 as optional subjects have been eliminated from the IAS preliminary exam.

  • I just referred one good newspaper and two magazines for current affairs apart from Manorama Year Book for GK and Current Events.

Instead of referring multiple magazines and newspapers, I suggest you just read one good newspaper and one or two magazines for current affairs. The Hindu is a very reputed English daily and if you can get hold of it, go for it otherwise read The Indian Express.

As far as magazines are concerned, Civil Services Chronicle or Pratiyogita Darpan are both good magazines for current affairs and reading one will be enough. But you should surely read Manorama Year Book for not just current affairs but more importantly to build your General Knowledge.

  • I constantly referred the past 5 years solved question papers before and after reading a topic.

The best way to track your progress is to refer the past five years questions whenever you start a new topic. This way you know what's important and should be stressed upon. After you finish reading that topic refer the questions from that topic again and check if you can answer all of them or not.

This way you know if you have left out some important points in the first reading and can attempt course correction immediately instead of waiting till the fag end of your preparation for IAS Exam in 2012.

  • I covered the scoring topics early

You shouldn't just study the first topic that you come across. Rather, prioritize and plan. Topics like GK, Polity, Maps can be prepared quickly and fetch easy marks. Tackle them early to pocket 30-40 marks even before you step into the exam hall.

  • I made micro notes that I could go through quickly before the prelims

Aspirants planning to prepare for the 2012 IAS Exam should make it a habit of writing important current event and GK snippets in a diary, register or flip cards on a daily basis which you can go through 15 or 20 days before the Prelims.

IAS 2012 Mains Examination Details

The Civil Services (Main) Examination 2012 will commence from 5-10-2012 and continue for 21 days. The first paper will be GS or General Studies followed by Essay and English (Compulsory). The third day will be the Indian Language paper and this will be followed by various optional papers on different days.

In all the 2012 IAS Mains exam will consist of 2000 marks ( GS paper of 600 marks, 2 optional papers of 600 marks each, essay paper of 200 marks) and students securing more than 940 marks (general category) can expect an Interview call from the UPSC.

Each paper of the 2012 IAS Mains exam will be of 3 hours duration and there will be 3 hours break between two papers held on the same day. For instance, GS paper 1 will be held in the morning and paper 2 in the afternoon.

Approximately 13 times the total number of seats qualify the prelims and appear for the mains exam. So if the total number of seats announced in the 2012 prelims notification is 900, about 10,700 candidates will clear the prelims and write the mains exam.

Finally, about 2.5 time the total vacancies are called for the IAS interview. So out of 10,700 candidates writing the 2012 IAS Mains exam, about 2250 candidates will qualify for the IAS Interview.

Read these Useful Tips for IAS Interview whether you appear for it in 2011, 12 or even 2015. These tips are timeless!

UPSC Needs to work on--------------------

It's about the UPSC selection policies of conducting examination for the selection of IAS, IPS candidates, therefore few questions mentioned which are as follows:

1. Faculties/ the members of the UPSC board proved their superiority by implemented the new question pattern which no one can guess neither the IAS coaching centers as well but for this the students like us suffered because they want complete intellectual candidate but for that they didn't provide any kind of guidance to the students neither to for the ias academy's to guide and prepare the students accordingly. But no they don't feel to do so why also most of the time UPSC office employees didn't pick up the phone if they really feel irritating to answer the students query why don't they remove the phone from their offices because we students are not dogs who bark tell me why??

2.What's the use of doing this implementation after all the ministers will rule the IAS officers as slave because our constitution made by B R Ambedkar after assembled so many rules from the developed countries to prepare our more than 300 articles to make the law but it's just good for nothing?

3. Why the reservation compulsory in all the govt exams & jobs don't you think it should be judge by the candidates performance providing equal rights and opportunities to every caste, we are in 21st century but still people looking for an reservation as an excuse why General categories have less numbers of attempt to appear for an UPSC where in SC/St has no limits why this discrimination if they really want to keep reservations then keep it for the women’s belong from all castes because they need to come ahead and proof their talents?

4. Why there is so long procedure to select civil servants why not this procedure applicable for the selection of the MP/MLA as well who seats in the Lok Sabah because they win the election after made fake commitment spoil the public money for do the election and having Zero knowledge about any particular field except few but know how to consume public money, In other countries like US, Europe, Russia, China etc has simple procedure to select the best candidates for their own constitutions, but why it’s not implemented in our country to select the best candidates in short and simple procedure which will not take a year to declare the results please tell??

5. Supreme Court has issued the permission to provide the students with the complete feedback about their performances in competitive exams but it’s not following by the UPSC officials department completely as my child has submit the application to revaluate her paper after 50 days we got the reply saying that “there is no technically fault from their side” where in while submitting the form in the counter of UPSC office by hands the counter person said that within a week it’ll be declared also I have called the officers they said we don’t know about this because there is separate team who revaluate this papers so I can’t say on this also “I asked him how we could be sure that they are checking properly and not making fake commitments then he said you don’t have any option except this”. So this is the UPSC systems working style, please tell why n to whom we seek for the proper judgment and right solution to help our child to prepare for the IAS exams?

6. Why the UPSC not conducting only one exams for GS subjects because rest subject already we students studied in the school, college because a civil service officer have to wise to tackle the situation and the responsibility towards the society for that he/she don’t need to study all the subjects if they needed then that is only the case studies subject how to solve and make wise decision which is introduced in CSAT but in very less quantity, so I urge everyone please give a thought about my issues

And please give your opinion so that in future we all the IAS aspirants can make our better future by serving our society.

7. After the news released by the Hindu about the Optional subject to be removed from the mains but UPSC didn’t make a sound on this issue and all the private institute are trying to oppose this because there business will go down, if this will be the tendency then where and to whom we’ll ask for the justice even the politicians are also involved to make it delay to implement it completely, please tell me why??

Please ask UPSC to implement policies so that our children can achieve their dreams by giving their full efforts. So that after become an officer serve our country to make it better future.

Many aspirants think that quality books, quality coaching, great dedicated study luck will help in cracking IAS. NO doubts they are very crucial and decisive factors. in additon to these i feel good network of IAS aspirants is equallly important and cant ignore, many inside views, reading inbetween lines, experiences and some silly mistakes which can cause heavy casualties. all these can be minimised with good nwtwork of aspirants, they are the one who keeps us updated and most importantly motivation. such things cant be found on website or in books. all the best for feelow aspirants....hadgalrajkumar@gmail.com( 7411342073)

I am doing 4th year BA LLB (Hon)and intends to appear for the 2014 CSAT. It has now become almost evident that UPSC is not making any changes as for as the optionals are concerned for mains-2012. So, it quite possible for such changes from 2013 onwards. For an advance preparation, aspirants like me are in utter confusion and a valuable guidance from you shall be a relief at this juncture.

Also kindly advise me for the right approach for an advance preparation for this prestigeous examination.
