Well friend,

To become IAS officer you have to Write Civil Service Exam conducted by UPSC every year.In Civil services Exam there are two stages.One is preliminary and Another One is Main Exam. like starter And Main course.

Those who clear the Prelims Exam, then He/She will be able to write Mains.

For Prelims Syllabus/Pattern,It consists of

General Studies and

Optional Subject(to be selected form 25 subjects Agriculture Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Science,Botany,Chemistry,Civil Engineering,Commerce,Economics,Economics (for Visually

Impaired candidates),Electrical Engineering,Geography,Geology,Geology (for Visually Impaired candidates),Indian History,Law,Mathematics,Mechanical Engineering,

Medical Science,Philosophy,Philosphy (for Visually Impaired candidates),Physics,Political Science,Public Administration,Psychology,Statistics,Sociology,Zoo logy)

The same pattern is also for MAINS but its a next level in contrast to type(Harder than Prelims) of the paper
