Hello friend,
If you are very clear about becoming an IAS officer, no matter which stream you study, you will need to work hard. Since, you are interested in Social studies, I would prefer Arts as your stream of study. You dont need to go for any professional study like CA or marine engineering to become an IAS officer.
The IAS examination comprises of preliminary exam (CSAT) and Main examination.
The current syllabus for the IAS examination are as follows
Civil Service Aptitude Test

Paper 1
Current events of national and international importance
History of India and Indian national movement
Indian and World Geography- physical, social, economic geography of India and the world
Indian Polity and governance – constitution, political system, panchayati raj, public policy, Rights issues, etc.
Economic and social development – sustainable development, poverty, inclusion, demographics, social sector initiatives etc.
General issues on environmental ecology, bio-diversity and climate change

The compulsory subjects for the Main exam are one Indian language, English, Essay and General studies.

Agriculture Mathematics, Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Science, Mechanical Engineering Botany, Medical Science, Chemistry, Philosophy, Civil Engineering, Physics, Commerce,Political Science ,Economics ,Psychology Electrical Engineering Public Administration, Geography, Sociology, Geology, Statistics, Indian,History, Zoology,Law.

First of all, you should carry on your studies with the subjects and area of your interest. Taking one step at a time is also better for a better and successful career.

Hai. I appreciate your aim. All that begines well ends well. After your 10th you can opt for COMMERCE & ACCOUNTANCY group in your higher secondary. It will take you a right path to your career (IAS). Or you can choose BIOLOGY group and you can take B.Sc Agriculture in college and you can appear for UPSC. For your consent My Former District collecter Ms. P. Amudha I.A.S., is an B.Sc Agri student in her college. If you choose engineering the opted engineering coures in Civil service exam is CIVIL ENGINEERING, EEE, MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. If you have only that single aim (i.e., to become an IAS OFFICER) you can choose the COMMERCE GROUP in your higher secondary as i mentioned above. ALL THE BEST. HARD WORK WILL GIVE YOU SUCCESS.. Thank you..

Friend

its very early decide..as you're in just 11th..

don't worry about it much

do your bachelors of any stream no matter what it is because as the UPSC for Civils doesn't demand you the particular degree

and complete your teen age and enter into 21 then look for

civils notifications

fill the form

clear all the stages of the exam and then become a civil servant

that's all

best wishes
