Education and Career Forum

i gave my 12 exam this year with pcm +informatics practices .i want to clarify which subject should i choose for ias. i donot want to do b.tec.I am good at chemistry .

You have decided lots of important things.
1. You don't want to do B.Tech.
2. You want to become an IAS officer

You should always stand tight with your decisions if you are aspiring for a wonderful
career like becoming an IAS officer.
So your above lines shuld be like
1. You don't have to do B.Tech.
2. You have to become an IAS officer.

As you already mentioned you are good at Chemistry so you can take Chemistry
as one of the optional paper in Civil Services Examination.

You can apply for Civil Services Examination only after completing graduation.

You should always choose your specialization in graduation according to your
choice and your goals.

If you choose Arts subject in graduation and you take an arts subject (say History or
Geography) then you will have benefit in preparing for General Studies.
The second optional subject you can take History/Geography or the subject you
are going to study in graduation.

This would decrease load of Civil Services Exam syllabus a bit.
