Which combination of subjects. I should choose in Arts after completion of 12th in Medical so as to become an IAS officer. In Arts please tell me paper wise.

In order to become an IAS officer you should have completed your graduation in any discipline from a recognized college/university. There is no such subject or stream criteria for that. Your age should not exceed 32 years. For SC/ST the age will be 37 years and for OBC it will be 35 years. You must be an Indian citizen with a height of 165 cms for men/160 cms for women. You should be mentally and physically fit.

With this eligibility you have to appear for IAS examination and the selection will depend on the marks secured in the examination followed by personal interview and physical test.
