what will be the main paper for ias exam for a mechanical engineering....can he take the math main paper for this purpose.......

It is good that you have completed your Graduation in Mechanical Engineering and want to join IAS to serve the country which is a good move from you.

I think you might have already heard about the selection rounds for IAS which will be
Civil Services Aptitude Test
Civil Service Main Exam
Interview

CSAT Exam is being conducted by UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) once in a year to recruit the candidates into following civil services
IAS
IPS
IFS
IRS etc.

In CSAT Exam, the questions will be from the following sections
Aptitude
General English
Current Affairs

If you have good preparation,you can easily crack this exam in the first attempt.

But it is not so easy to get through Main Exam.

One should have to select an optional subject for Main Exam.

As you are from Mechanical Engineering, I suggest you to opt for this subject only as the optional subject.

The reason why I am suggesting this is you have already 4 years of subject knowledge is there in the field of Mechanical Engineering.

If you put your extra efforts, then you can easily complete the syllabus and can perform well in the Exam.

Wish you all the best.
