The selection of subject for your graduation after 12th with Commerce in order to preparing for IAS depends upon your interest and strength. No subject is easy or tough it is just your perception about a particular subject which makes it easier or tougher.

If you are enjoying the your current studies then there is no need of the changing of stream for your graduation as the examination will consists of questions related to the base of your subject of graduation and you will have the better knowledge of that subject which you are studying till now.

But if you are not enjoying your current studies then you can switch for bachelor degree course with the arts stream from a recognized university.
