Nice to hear your aspiration that you are very much interested in Civil Services.
Actually you need to know about the eligibility criteria of the examination.

The basic Eligibility criteria of this examination is as follows :-
->You should have a degree from any discipline of a Recognized Indian University.
->You should have at least of 21 years of age while applying for the examination.

The known thing is that Civil Service examination which is conducted by UPSC is the toughest competitive exam of India.
Its fame is all because after clearing this selection procedure you will get the job which is the top Sitting job in India.

So, The preparation for this examination should be as early as possible. but not the preparation which is buttifying books which are prescribed to crack the examination.

because you will not be interested as there is lot of time to actually write the examination so you may get isolated and de interested to prepare directly the subjects like
General studies,
Geography
some optional subjects.

so as you are just a BA first year candidate just you be prepared for the upcoming tasks slowly like.
getting mentally and physically prepared for the examination. and concentrating on things which an IAS officer has to concentrate like

->Upcoming changes in administration.
->some of the hot current affairs like Jan Lok Pal Bill etc.,

you should be tied up with all the general knowledge up to date.

No doubt you have to be thorough with Current Affairs.

This is all you can do before starting actual preparation.
I don't support or suggest the actual preparation from now itself because it may de interest you because you are not mentally prepared to take up tasks like studying 200 - 300 pages without any touch with that subject. So first you have to make that mood to take that big tasks. Okay I hope you understood.

All the best for your pro preparation

Regards

You can pursue your B.A. with Geography, political science, Economics, Hindi and History. These all subjects ate very helpful in civil exams. Geo, polity, eco, history will help you in GS portion whereas if you want to take Hindi as subject in civil exam then doing graduation and post graduation will help you because you have deep knowledge of your subject. Hindi and English subject will also help you in essay paper, because it increases your vocobalary and thinking and imaginating power. You will have command of language through this.
