Hi !

Your decision to become an IAS officer is really appreciable.
Now,
In brief, I want to explain you about the pattern of civil service exam.

It is divided into three stages
->CSAT
->Mains
->Personal Interview.

For CSAT,
The syllabus is same for all the applicants.

After getting qualified in CSAT
you have to apply for Civil Service(mains) exam which is the next level.

In mains exam you will be given a choice to select two optional subjects from the pre-defined list of optional subjects along with other compulsory subjects.

Here is the list of Optional subjects do have a look into it,

>>Agriculture
>>Management
>>Animal Husbandry & Vetinary Science
>>Mathematics
>>Anthropology
>>Mechanical Engineering
>>Botany
>>Medical Science
>>Chemistry
>>Philosophy
>>Civil Engineering
>>Physics
>>Commerce & Accountancy
>>Political Science & International Relations
>>Economics
>>Psychology
>>Electrical Engineering
>>Public Administration
>>Geography
>>Sociology
>>Geology
>>Statistics
>>Indian History
>>Zoology
>>Law

The selection for these optional subjects can be done in two ways.
->you can select a subject with respect to your educational background.
->you can select any subject which is not at all related to your educational background also.

There is no compulsion to select a particular subject by you if you are from a particular background
for ex :- Commerce student can select engineering optional.

As you're pursuing electrical engineering 3rd year
you can plan to take electrical engineering as optional subject.

and it is really a nice idea to start preparation from this stage.
for this you should be perfect in your core subjects of electrical stream.
for an example
you should be perfect in subjects like
->BEE(Basic Electrical Engineering).
->NA(Network analysis)
->AC, DC Machines
etc. etc.,

In this way every core subject topic can be asked in the electrical engineering paper of IAS mains exam.
More or less you should prepare like for GATE

An advantage if you select Electrical engineering as optional subject is you will have added advantage.
As you will be with this subjects for four years
you can save a lot of time for other subjects of Mains exam.
A short time should be sufficient for the preparation.

Before all these things to happen
The present target for you is to successfully complete your B.Tech(EEE) and to prepare for CSAT and clear that too.

All the very best

Regards

Dear pal,
it is not compulsory that you should take it as a optional subject but if you choose it then you can prepare easily for one of the papers.
The selection procedure for the exam includes common aptitude exam followed by main exam and personnel interview. The aptitude exam is common for all and so you need to prepare for it . But out of 9 papers in the main exam there are 5 optional papers that you can choose as per your wish. But you can choose only one engineering paper. But it is not compulsory for you to choose. The other optional papers available are botany, zoology, chemistry , physics, commerce, economics, statistics, animal husbandasy, etc and around twenty five papers are there for you to choose and you can choose as per your wish. Nothing wrong in choosing papers which you have not learnt before but you need to put more efforts for preparation. To have ideas about questions refer previous years question papers

You can put in your application for the Civil Services Examination when you reach the final year, such that you have completed the BE before you sit for the Mains exam.

There are more than 25 optional subjects, which include Arts, Management and Engineering.

Since you are already pursuing Electrical Engg, you should be quite comfortable in handling the questions related to Elec Engg. You can have a view of the syllabus from the last year's notification from Employment News or UPSC website. Electrical Engg paper contains Electrical, Electronics and Communication parts. There is no optional subject like EEE.

For the second optional, you may consider any other subject which may be easy to you. If you are strong in History, go for it

All the best.
