Sir/mam i want to prepare for the civil services examination conducted by the UPSC.I have some confusion regarding the exams and hope you will clear my doubts. Actually,i got a back in my engineering and my degree will be completed after six months from the normally scheduled time.That is i will complete my degree in december 2011 instead of june 2011.So the question i want to ask is that can i attempt the preliminary examination of 2011.The thing which forced me to ask this question was that when i started collecting information about UPSC ,some told me that the degree is required at the time of interview and some told me that before the mains examination the degree should be completed.Sir according to the first case i am eligible but as far as second case is considered i think that i cant attemt the preliminary exam 2011.

Question : Respected Mentors, Currently I am in an IT company with 2.5 yrs of experience. And taking coaching for Geography and my main’s option is Kannada. I am in dilemma that should I resign from the job and devote my all time to the preparation or continue the preparation with the job. Even if I resign now it will not help me for 2010 Prelims. So my plan is to attend 2011-prelims seriously. So for cracking the IAS in 2011 when is suitable for me to resign. I could have resigned with out much hesitation but recently father got diagnosed with brain tumor and my all savings have spent in his treatment. And I have three siblings whom I need to support to finish their studies. I need to help my mom in running the family. So every step I have to take with utmost care. Please suggest me how should I go from now to crack IAS. Please reply to my mails ID Riyan78@gmail.com as showcasing my personal problems in public forum is bit embarrassing. Thanks, Riyan.

Dear Friend, as you have mentioned about your family situation, it is better to work and prepare for the exam. Thecivil services exam is highly uncertain one, one cannot take a chance.
Your choices are fine. It is suggested that it is better to work as well do the job. There are many people cleared the CSE while working. If at all you want to leave the job, you should be sure that you will get a good job if there is failure.
