1. You must be a citizen of India.
2. You must have finished your graduation of any discipline from a recognized

Thus for IAS aspirants there is no particular stream of Education required. Any graduation is enough. I would suggest you to choose any of the graduations easy for you to clear. So that you can prepare for the UPSC exams, which is little tougher.

to do a IAS exam you have to be a graduate minimum. then accordingly you can choose which subjects you want in IAS. it has two phase, prelims and mains. followed by an interview.

Hellow...it is very good that you are a IAS aspirant...for this the minimum qualification is bachelor degree in any stream from any dignified institute ..after that only you can apply for IAS examination

The UPSC has analyzed the success rates of candidates of various degrees in the 2009 Civil Services Exam. The annual report is available in their website.

From this, you will notice that among the UG candidates, the success rate is highest for MBBS with a percentage of 18.3. BDS is second with a success rate of 11.6%. BE/BTech, etc candidates had a success rate of 11.3%, while BSc Agri candidates came fourth at 11.1%.

Of course, the total no, of appeared candidates were quite less for MBBS and BDS at 420 and 69 respectively. There were 2267 candidates of BE, etc and 72 candidates of BSc Agri. These numbers relate to the main exam and do not have anything to do with the Prelims.

The success rate for BA was 5.0%, BCom 5.2% and BSc 4.4%.

If you take PGs, MD candidates had a marvellous success rate of 18.8% (3 out of 16) and LLM 13.8% (4 out of 29).

I think I have given a fair idea of who has more chances of selection. Please evaluate from your end. The details are available in p 98 of the Annual Report 2010-11 (which is the latest published by UPSC).

All the best.
