This is the timetable we are following for Karnataka Public Service Commission’s (KPSC) Karnataka Administrative Service (KAS) exam.
( Note: Visit KAS 2015 FAQ page if you have any doubts.)
Purpose: Timetable to prepare for preliminary examination.
Date: KAS preliminary exams will be conducted (tentatively) on April 19th, 2015.

[Update] – This timetable is not relevant anymore.
**Update** –
Follow any one of the timetable:
__________
This is how you can prepare your own timetable:
Let us first calculate the number of days available for preparation.
Calculate the number of days and number of Sundays in the month. For example, From today (1st of Feb) till the day of exam April, 18 (exam is was on 19th April ), we have had 77 days to prepare for KAS preliminary exam.
Subtract 18 days of April (which should be used for revision), and subtract all Sundays from Feb and March (i.e 9 Sundays).
Effective No. of Days left = 50
After subtracting all Sundays and 18 days from April, students were left with 50 days.
Effectively, even though it seems like students had 77 days, in real sense only 50 days can be used to fullest extent to study. Rest should be used for revisions and practice tests.

Nagashree says
Hello sir… I’m from chikmagalur.. I just wanted to know dat, can I allowed to attend d economics classes only.. since I cannot attend all weekend classes..
Ambition IAS says
Hi Nagashree,
We are not conducting classes as of now. And when the classes will be conducted, we can arrange for it. But no classes are planned for new future.
All the best.
vikki says
sir we have to wait till march 20 for economic survey new version 2014-15.. it will be too late for preparation..is there any way to prepare for this topic from anywhere else..and what if eco survey 2012-13 is available to read..
Ambition IAS says
Hi Vikki,
Don’t worry about the latest Economic Survey. We will give you all the important points from that as soon as it is released.
Regarding last years Karnataka Economic Survey, we have already compiled the material. You can pick it up from us anytime. It is part of our Study Material.
SRIKANTA says
Sir if we study 5-10 science book of state syllabus how much do we expect ?
Ambition IAS says
Srikanta,
More than studying number of books, concentrating on areas what KPSC asks questions from will be a better strategy.
sunilthati says
hi sir, myself sunil and i am looking out for the online mock tests on kas prelims…. do you conduct the same…? if yes… then when it would be?
Ambition IAS says
Hi Sunil,
KAS Prelims mock tests will start from coming weekend. Contact Gautam @ 9886333915, and he’ll help you with more details.
suma says
sir/mam,
i am looking for guidance. there are only 45 days left. Don’t know from where to start 🙁
Ambition IAS says
Hi Suma,
Please give me at call @9886333915. If you study seriously and put in long hours, you have very high chances of clearing prelims.
Btw, we have close to 60+ days for exam.
vikki says
sir, karnataka hand book is of old version..and economic survey last available is 2012-13..can we expect questions from last 4 years i.e from hand book and eco survey..
Ambition IAS says
Hi Vikki,
If you analyze previous question paper, it reveals how important Economic Survey and Karnataka Hand Book is.
Going by previous data, we can surely expect at least 20% questions from Economic Survey and Hand book alone.
Since these exams have not been conducted on regular basis, we cannot take chance of studying just this years book. Hence, we have comprehensively compiled previous years as well as this years books.
This is to ensure we cover all areas and maximize the probability of covering most probable questions.
Both books, this years, as well as previous years are available with us. You can pick it up from us.
hariprasad yadav b m says

Ambition IAS says
We have compiled important notes from Karnataka Hand Book Karnataka Economic Survey.
It’s available along with our ‘Guided KPSC / KAS study material’.

raghu says
Hi…..sir plz tell me…how can read karnataka economic survey and which topics are more imp to read
Ambition IAS says
Hi Raghu,
Economic Survey played a very crucial role last year. We expect the same this year, hence we feel all chapters are important. You can pick our concise Economic Survery which is available in GS package and read that. That should help.
shobha says
Hi..Myself shobha.. i am working in a corporate office. I just how do you suggest to study working students and do they really require coaching classes
Ambition IAS says
Hi Shobha,
It depends on various factors:
1> How many number of hours can you spend every day, and over weekends ?
2> What is your previous level of preparation ?
3> Do you have study material / prescribed text books ?
4> Are you in company of a focused study group / aspirants / coach / mentor ?
If you let me know these details, we can chart out a timetable for you.
shobha N says
1. Everyday 5 to 6 hrs i can spend and weekends 10hrs
2.2 years back i was preparing for exams but from last year i have focussed
3.I dont have study materials, i have text books for few subjects
4.Aspirants
Kindly help me with timetable chart
And also if i join for a coaching class now, it would be better and what’s the timings of your coaching class for working professionals
Do you provide study materials
Ambition IAS says
1> 5 to 6 hrs / day is good enough for preparation if you are dedicated. You can crack these exams with that effort.
2> Since you already have experience with these exams it becomes easier.
3> We do provide guided exam preparation via post, and we believe if you stick on to it, you can clear the exams.
4> We do have offline classes as well, where Prelims cost is 18,000 INR Prelims-cum-Mains is 40,000
5> I’d recommend preparing at home as of now, as you have very limited time and travelling would not be a very good idea. You can take up our “KAS Postal Guided Material” and you can prepare at home. If you have any doubts, you can contact / come to the institute over weekend and get it sorted.
6> You can contact me at 9886333915.
shobha says
Thank u so much for your response.. I had spoken to goutam from your institite for providing study materials and just need to know is this study materials is enough for our KAS preilims and not required to study any other magzines or text books..
Ambition IAS says
The material is a good start. Currently, the constraint is time. Since we are running short of time, we can first finish up all the material we send, and then if there’s more time left at your end, we will suggest other books.
However, if we come across any good material worth mentioning, we will send a message on your number and you can make avail that material.
shobha says
