This one-of-a-kind platform offers young minds a powerful early opportunity to explore their aptitude for the Indian Civil Services and lays the foundation for tomorrow’s leaders. Launched in 2017, Race2IAS has grown into the most trusted and prestigious civil service simulation for students in the country. The exam mirrors the three-stage UPSC pattern — Prelims, Mains, and Personality Test — providing participants with a hands-on, age-appropriate experience of what it truly takes to succeed in India’s most competitive exam. What sets Race2IAS apart is the quality and authenticity of the question papers, crafted by civil service experts. Every paper is designed to reflect the real IAS pattern, helping students develop analytical thinking, current affairs awareness, and a problem-solving mindset — the essential qualities of a future civil servant.
The Race2IAS Model Civil Service Exam is thoughtfully designed to mirror the actual UPSC Civil Service Examination, giving students a realistic, step-by-step experience of what it takes to become a civil servant. The exam is conducted in three stages, each assessing different dimensions of aptitude, knowledge, and personality.
The Prelims is the first qualifying stage, consisting of two objective-type (MCQ) papers designed to test students’ basic awareness and reasoning ability.
Students from class 6, 7, 8, and 9 makes up Category 1
Students from class 10 , 11, 12 and UG/PG falls under Category 2
What makes the Race2IAS exam special? How does this exam transform thousands of students? Listen to the stories of our participants.
I was a participant in the Race2IAS Model Civil Service Examination Season 4. The exam gave me the real feel of going through all the stages of the Civil Services Examination. What piqued my interest in this exam was the Personality Test wherein we are interviewed by senior officers in the Indian Civil Service. It is such a great initiative to help students from an early stage to prepare for the UPSC exam and to get an idea about how much perseverance is required to go through all the stages of the examination. Sincere thanks from the bottom of my heart to Team Race2IAS for this wonderful opportunity. Really looking forward to the next season of the exam.
