Dear Sir, I have completed my 12th Class in Commerce stream. My Main aim is to become an IAS Officer. So please tell me which course to choose between B.A and B.Com after completion of 12th (Commerce)? What are the best subjects available in B.A?

There is no need to opt any particular course between B.A and B.Com course to become an IAS officer after completion of your 12th standard. You can opt any course of your interest for pursuing your Graduation. Candidates who have completed Bachelor's degree course in any discipline from a recognised university are eligible to appear in IAS examination. Since, you have completed your 12th standard with Commerce stream, it is best to opt for B.Com course for pursuing your Graduation to apply for IAS examination.

There are no such requirement as for the discipline in bachelor degree to appear for Civil Services examination conducted by UPSC. So, you are eligible to select any course as per your interest.

There are many better options in B.A as English, Political Science, History, Geography etc.

So, if you have interest in any of them you can pursue bachelor degree in it to appear for examination and it will be helpful for you to appear for examination and to qualify in examination if you will study with proper attention.

>> IAS stands for INDIAN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE.

>> To become IAS officer you need to appear in the Civil examination which is conducted by Union Public Service Commission.

>> For this examination candidate must have bachelor degree from a recognized university.

>> The age of candidate must be in between 21 to 30 years.

>> Final year students also eligible for this examination

>> As per my knowledge both courses i.e BA and B.Com are good to become an IAS Officer after 12th Commerce.

>> My suggestion to you is that you can select BA or B.Com as per your interest after 12th commerce.

BEST SUBJECT AVAILABLE IN BA

1. Economics

2. Political Science

3. History

>> The selection of candidate will be done on the basis of Preliminary Examination, Mains Examination, Interview Test.

Procedure for IAS (Indian Administration Service) happens through three levels.
1. Preliminary test.
2. Mains exam.
3. Interview.
Preliminary test contain objective type questions which is related to GK, GS, Reasoning and English.
Mains exams contains subjective type of questions which is completely related to the subjects which you have studied during your graduation. So if you aspire to become an IAS than choose only those subject in graduation in which you are really passionate.
Interview is the last round of this exam.
After which your name will be displayed in the marit list if you get selected.
Thanks.

Dear Aspirant,

You can choose both B.A and B.com to become an IAS officer as the Educational qualification for appearing in IAS exams is a bachelor degree from a Government recognized institution.
