Indian Civil Services exam is one of the toughest exam in India ( and Probably the whole world). and every year something around 2 lac students appear for this exam. Out of which around 1000 are considered selected. With more than 30 services, in fray, these 1000 pass cadidates get the service as per choice and rank. Usually ranks upto 70 manage IAS, then IFS, IPS, IRS, IAAS, IP & TAFS, IRAS, IDAS and host of group "A" and group "B" services follow. The purpose is not to discourage you but to make you aware of the competition. You will be appearing for CSAT and then later on for Mains. For CSAT there are books aplenty and to say that one will suffice is wrong. Go through the syllabus and then make a strategy. Serious students prepare for mains also well in advance as it has 2 GS papers, two subjects (4 papers) and one essay paper apart from mandatory Hindi and English pass. read less

I suggest go for a proper training class like George or Rice instead of trial and error , it might be costly but time constraint is a matter so we should bear some economic resources for getting the job. Best of luck!
