What should I prepare for: IAS or IES?
You should prepare for IES. This will be a shock to you since most people will suggest the same. Here’s why –
- It is easier to qualify for IES when compared to IAS. There’s more chance of qualifying it even in the first attempt. Whereas, there are many students who are brilliant and hardworking that aren’t able to qualify for IAS. It requires more patience.
- IES syllabus is very close to the engineering syllabus, making it easier to grasp and understand.
- You don’t need to have excellent writing skills or sharp memory to have an edge over other competitors.
- Even if you fail in IES, there still will be an option to give GATE and get into PSUs. With IAS, there is no backup plan if you fail to qualify.
- When you are preparing for IES you are basically preparing an optional subject for IAS as well. So in future, if you want to prepare for IAS you will have an optional subject ready along with a job.
You have a choice between good with a high probability of selection and better with a low probability of selection. So going for the option that has the maximum probability of selection along with a backup plan in case of a failure is a better choice.

Which exam is tougher, CDS or AFCAT?
My cousin have qualified both exams and without a doubt, CDS is the toughest one. The reason being that the CDS paper is created by the UPSC, whereas AFCAT is prepared by the Indian Air Force. So you have to think a lot when attempting CDS questions, it tests your conceptual knowledge. AFCAT touches on basic topics and is much easier.
The following points must help you in a better understanding:
- If you have a good basic knowledge of the English language, mathematical skills, GK and are updated on current affairs, then AFCAT will be a smooth ride. On the other hand, CDS will require an in-depth study of the syllabus.
- You can clear AFCAT by simply going through the previous year’s papers. If you are not able to clear it in the first go, you'll definitely do so in the second because there'll be a gradual increase in your score as well.
- Also, do a self-analysis and ask yourself whether you're good in GS or in English and Reasoning? If the former, then CDS will be easier to qualify! If the latter, then AFCAT will be your thing.
Here's a table reflecting the previous three-year cut-offs for AFCAT and CDS exams-
|
Exams |
2019 cut off |
2018 cut off |
2017 cut off |
|
AFCAT |
133-140 |
160-140 |
150-155 |
|
CDS |
95-128 |
NA |
120-260 |
Do not pre-suppose that clearing AFCAT with SSB will clear your path to the Indian Air Force, because apparently the final cut off is quite high, so if your AFCAT score is really high, between 140-180, only then will you be able get into the permanent commission.
However, if you clear the written and SSB in case of CDS, then you'll definitely join any of the forces and get into PC.
Study thoughtfully and try to prepare with determination and an open mind.

One of my friends studied at Banaras Hindu University (BHU). According to him, BA social science entrance exam demands you to be knowledgeable in the field of humanities.
All you have to do is cover the current affairs section very well and along with that keep an eye on the previous year's questions. Some questions include topics on psychology or philosophy. For this, you don't have to go through the topics elaborately. You can solve previous year's questions to get a general idea. These are a must to pass BHU BA Social Science entrance examination.
For current affairs, you can keep yourself updated by reading newspapers and magazines. This will improve your vocabulary and writing ability. Knowing history will also be helpful. So prepare accordingly.
