You can choose any subject in BTech to become an IAS Officer in the future. You have to clear the Civil Services Examinations conducted by the UPSC to become an IAS Officer. Candidates with a graduation in any discipline are eligible to apply for the Civil Services Examination conducted by the UPSC. Therefore, you can choose any stream in engineering to become an IAS Officer. Civil Services Examination consists of Stage 1 – Preliminary Examination, Stage 2 – Mains and Stage 3 – Interview / Personality Test. You have to prepare well to clear the UPSC Civil Services Examination.

You can choose any subject or stream in BTech as per your own interest if you want to be an IAS officer because there is no such specific stream required as a basic requirement.

IAS refers to Indian Administrative Service and to be an IAS officer, you are required to qualify the Civil Services examination held by UPSC once every year.

Further, the minimum education required to apply for the Civil Services examination is a graduation degree in any discipline from a recognised university.

So, as far as you are concerned about the selection of your engineering branch for your B.Tech degree course so that you can become an IAS officer later then as evident from the above mentioned criteria, you need not have to worry regarding the same very much as you can opt for any specialisation for pursuing your B.Tech degree course to be eligible for appearing in the Civil Services examination.
