DM or District Magistrate are actually IAS candidates that attain posts after qualifying Civil Services Exam.

After graduation, you can apply for Civil Services Exam.

There is no compulsion to choose any particular subject for Civil Services Exam for becoming DM in future.

You are free to choose your subjects.

Civil Services Exam will have three stages i.e.

• Preliminary Exam
• Main Exam
• Personal Interview

Preliminary Exam is compulsory exam for everyone in which every candidate will get same questions.
While for Main Exam, candidate will have to choose his/her optional subjects according to interest.

I am pleased with your determination to become District Magistrate in future but along with determination you need to prepare for examination with dedication and devotion too.

For recruitment you have to appear and qualify in Civil Service examination examination which is conducted by Union Public Service Commission.
