For IAS, you have to crack the IAS exam which is conducted by the UPSC(Union Public Service Commission).
Other than IAS, IPS and IFS are also selected from the same exam based on the ranks.

First of all you need to understand that the basic eligibility criteria

1. Graduation from any recognized university of India

2. Age limit- 21 to 30 years as on 1st August of the year in which exam is conducted.

3. India Citizen

So, the advise is to choose an appropriate graduation course for yourself and then after completing it, prepare for the IAS exam and then strike for IPS.

The exam is irrespective of the graduation course. You can give the IAS exam after doing-
- B.tech
- BA
- B.com
- B.sc
- B.arch
- B.pharma
so it is irrelevant.

But the advise is that, if you seriously want to crack IAS, then go for the course which does not put lot of pressure of you and you are able to take out time for the preparation of IAS.

Also, there are certain tips which you can follow and can help you in your preparation-

1) Read newspaper everyday. Subscribe to "THE HINDU". No other newspaper.

2) But, GEOGRAPHY, HISTORY, POLITY needs to be given time. Start taking time for this right away. Go through NCERT. Make a goal to read at least half chapter each day.

4) In the final year of your graduation, i will recommend you to join some coaching class. Its not that you will gain knowledge there. But your knowledge will be brushed up and also the competitive surroundings will accelerate your chances to clear the exam.

* Good memory power
* Good concentration level
* good grasping power
* Ability to study for long hours
* Ability to remain stick with time table fixed for study
* Daily revision of studied matter

# It is better for you that choose only that course/degree in which you can perform well and have good elementary knowledge. Also opt only those subjects for the preparation of IAS Examination.
