I.A.S stands for the Indian Administrative Services and it is one of the most prestigious services and the recruitment in the services is through the Civil Services examination conducted by the UPSC every year.

The examination is among the toughest examination and conducted in the three stages and it is mandatory to qualify in all the stages for the final selection in the services. But it is essential that the candidates must select the optional paper according to its knowledge does not select by going through the rumor.


So according to my suggestion it is very good to have the knowledge and interested in selecting the optional as any subject but select the one in which you are extra ordinary. So that you can achieve good marks in it also go through the English and the General Studies as there are large number of questions from these topics.
