UPSC

Hi Vishal Kumar, With a Masters in Geography, you may choose to consider teaching for which you will have to complete a teacher training course like a B.Ed. Or appear for the UGC NET Exams for lectureship. Other options are tourism, ticketing etc. All these have a natural extension to geography. The best would be to study Geographic Information Systems popularly known as GIS which is a rapidly growing technological field for resource planning and management. Preparing for UPSC will be totally your call as Union Public Service Commission UPSC is India's central agency authorized to conduct examinations for recruitment to Civil Services, Engineering Services, CDS SCRA, Indian Statistical Services, Indian Forest Service, Indian Economic Service etc. So you could analyse and plan as to how you would like to take your career ahead.

This is something which you need to decide. There are 3 types of aspirants:-
1. After X or during XI or XII standards that they want to become IAS or IPS officers to serve the nation and her people.
2. Those who decide during or just after finishing their university education that they wish to be civil servants.
3. Those who decide rather late in life about their IAS calling and pursue it while on a job or after working for a few years in the corporate sector. There is no definite or appropriate time to being the IAS preparation process. Instead of appropriate time, what really matters is your dedication and commitment to the civil services exam preparation process.
