For civil services, there is no restriction that you have any particular stream. You can choose any of the subjects for graduation.

Qualification for IAS/Civil services:
Candidate should have graduation in any stream with minimum 55% marks from a recognized university.

There is no benefit of mass communication for IAS exam. The syllabus is totally different in the civil examination. So you can choose any of the subjects and in mass communication, there are so many options for the job in private as well as in government sector.

IAS exam conducted in three stages:
Preliminary exam
Mains exam

So if you want to appear for IAS exam in future then you have to start preparing as soon as possible. That will give you benefit and help to get a good score.
