Nothing like that you can study Graduation wherever you want and there is no specific subject required for IAS. Any stream graduation students can apply for IAS entrance exam.

To become a IAS Officer, you must appear in Civil Service Exam which is conducted by Union Public Service Entrance Exam. Once you completed your graduation, you can apply for IAS entrance exam. For appearing in this exam you must have certain eligibility qualifications,

Eligibility Criteria:

-> Applicants must be a Indian

-> Applicants must have a degree certificate in any discipline from a recognized University and final year student of graduation can also apply.

-> Applicants should complete 21 years of age & should not exceed 30 years (if general candidate). Relaxation in upper age limit for SC /ST is five years, for OBC is three years,

Applicants can apply for this exam in both the offline and online mode as well. The application forms can be downloaded via the official website of UPSC. Those who are applying offline can collect the form from the nearest post office by a payment of RS. 100/-.

According to me Delhi is the best place for having graduation for IAS. In Delhi there are lots of top class coaching institutes for IAS.

Subjects for civil services:

1. History
2. Geography
3. Economics
4. Indian Polity
5. General Science
6. Current affairs
7. Environment

It is very tough to say about the best places as students of smaller towns also qualify for it but they are very few or you can say them that they are exception.Mostly students qualifies are either living in metropolitan city.As there are good colleges with best coaching available to them from beginning.

I think Delhi will be the best because there are colleges with best faculty and syllabus of graduation is based on the competitive pattern.It has also best coaching in India for it.

The best paper you can select as main will be either
1.Political science.
2.History.
3.Geography.
4.English.

You can also select the one in which you have better knowledge and you think I will qualify by it.

IAS is a Indian Civil Services exam and there is nothing specific regarding the degree where you should be graduated. All that matters is that you should have completed a degree from a recognized university and that can be in any stream of education.
