I want to know which stream should I choose for Graduation to become an IAS Officer? Can I start preparing for the exam from now? Please answer as soon as possible.

If you are interested to become an IAS officer then, you need to appear in IAS examination which is conducted by Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). You can pursue your graduation in any course of your interest even if you are interested to become an IAS officer. There is no need to choose any particular course and study that to become an IAS officer. So, I suggest you to pursue any course of your interest and after that you can apply for IAS examination.

Yes, you must start your preparation for examination from now to qualify in Civil Service examination and make your dream come true.

Civil Service examination is conducted by UPSC and candidates have to appear and qualify in examination for final selection.

The minimum eligibility criteria for IAS exam is graduation degree from a recognized University. This exam doesn't required any percentage marks in graduation degree. So you can do graduation degree in History to become an IAS officer. Because this subject is scoring compare to other.

Your age should be in between 21 to 32 years.
