Exam Mentor: Your guide to conquering competitive exams
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has announced the Civil Services Examination 2025, offering 979 vacancies across 23 services, including the prestigious Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS) and Indian Police Service (IPS). The selection process involves five stages: notification, preliminary examination, main examination, interview and final results, spanning approximately 15 months.
However, the outcome of this demanding journey heavily depends on preparation that begins long before the notification is released. Success requires a strong foundation, often traced back to the time of Class X board exams. Early academic discipline, time management and consistent efforts play a crucial role in developing the skills needed for this exam.
As soon as Class X board exams conclude, one question dominates every student's mind: What next? Should you choose arts, commerce, medical or non-medical? This critical decision shapes your entire career path and sets the foundation for your future.
