I hv completed +2 (pcm). which stream i should opt for IAS? i dont want to go for ARTs stream...

Hello friend,
If you have studied science stream in your +2, following the same would be beneficial. As far as IAS is concerned, there is no hard core rule for any particular stream but the syllabus of the examination is definitely inclined towards the arts stream.
There will be two written examination-
Civil Service Aptitude Test and Main Exam
The Civil Service Aptitude Test comprises of two compulsory papers.

Paper 1
Current events of national and international importance
History of India and Indian national movement
Indian and World Geography- physical, social, economic geography of India and the world
Indian Polity and governance – constitution, political system, panchayati raj, public policy, Rights issues, etc.
Economic and social development – sustainable development, poverty, inclusion, demographics, social sector initiatives etc.
General issues on environmental ecology, bio-diversity and climate change
General science.

Paper 2
Comprehension
Interpersonal skills including communication skills
Logical reasoning and analytical ability
Decision making and problem solving
General mental ability
Basic numeracy (numbers and their relations, orders of magnitude etc. (Class X level),
Data interpretation (charts, graphs, tables, data sufficiency etc. –Class X level)
English language comprehension skills (Class X level)

The Main exam comprises of the following Papers.
Compulsary subjects - One Indian language, English, Essay and General studies.
Following are the optional subject from which you can select any two subjects
Agriculture Mathematics, Animal Husbandry & Vetinary Science, Mechanical Engineering Botany, Medical Science, Chemistry, Philosophy, Civil Engineering, Physics, Commerce,Political Science ,Economics ,Psychology Electrical Engineering Public Administration, Geography, Sociology, Geology, Statistics, Indian,History, Zoology,Law.

You can not select the following combination of subjects as optional papers:
Political Science & International Relations and Public Administration
Commerce and Management
Anthropology and Sociology
Maths and Statistics
Agriculture and Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science
Management and Public Administration
Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Science and Medical Science
Any two branches of engineering
Now, as you can see that the syllabus is mostly based on arts stream and a candidate from other stream will have to work on this stream to crack the exam. But pursuing Bachelors degree in arts after +2 with science is not advisable. If you can work hard and in a systematic manner, you will be able to crack the exam, no mater which stream you belong to.
For better results, you must join coaching classes, study updated books, articles and prepare as per the syllabus.

After Completing 12th there is no need of particular selection of course

you can do the degree as you wish

Regarding selections of optionals you should give the max importance to your

interest because you have to spend a lot of time in studying your selected

subjects if you don't have interest in what you have selected then

it will become mere waste in ..you will be suffered with boredom so don't

listen anyone's suggestion go through the syllabus and topics of each and

every optional

select the subject in which you are most attracted and have a 80% interested topics in the syllabus

this is how you have to select the optionals

this should be your target and you have to rock the preparation time interestingly not boringly

so if you are interested then select that if every one says even it is the toughest one ..

this is all the opinion of my friends who are preparing for the same

Take the guidance of successful and unsuccessful candidates

Regards

You can choose any of the subject which you are interested at your graduation level.

Because the minimum academic qualification required for IAS exam is graduation in any of the discipline.

In addition you should be in the age group of 21-30 years.

So I would suggest you to join the graduation in what ever stream you are interested and try to achieve good percentage of marks.

Simultaneously, allocate some of your time to prepare general awareness and aptitude which are part of CSAT exam.

CSAT followed by Main examination and interview is the selection process for IAS exam.

For updated information on IAS, you can visit the official website of UPSC (Union Public Service Commission)

Hi...
There is no particular restriction to select a stream to go for IAS exam;
All you need to have is a Degree from a recognized university.
If you are willing to go for Engineering i will suggest you to go for CIVIL ENGG Or MECHANICAL ENGG or ELECTRICAL ENGG because these streams are being offered as OPTIONAL subjects by the upsc . If you chose any one of the streams,it certainly helps you through your CIVIL SERVICES exam.
All the best.

You are free to choose the stream. There is no need to pic Arts stream. You should not pick it anyway since you are science stream student. I would recommend pursuing B.Tech, however only if you are interested.

As far as the criteria for Indian Administrative Service is concerned, it only says graduation degree. There is no particular restriction. You are free to choose any course whether its BA, B.Com, B.Sc, B.Tech, BBA, BCA etc.

Just keep in mind that the chances of selection in IAS are very low for each candidate. There are lakhs of students who apply for IAS where only 300 odd are selected every year. The best thing to do would be to select a course in which you would like to make career.
