As you are interested to become IAS officer and want to pursue a Degree Course in Computer Science hence I would like to suggest you to opt for BSc in Computer Science that is 4 year Degree Course.
Hence, BSc in computer science is best course for you as per both interest and career point of view.

IAS stands for Indian Administrative Service. It is also known as civil service exam.
Selection of IAS happens through three stages.
1. Preliminary examination
2. Mains examination
3. Personal interview

Preliminary exams consist of some fundamental questions. It will be your aptitude test and answers must be dealt in objective.
While mains examination will be totally descriptive. It will consist your question from the subject you choose in graduation.
Third one is personal interview which will check your presence of mind and the kind of thoughts you have.
>>> After successful completion in all the stages your name will be displayed in all India merit list.

so, choose any subjects in graduation but make sure you must have detailed knowledge of it.
Thanks.
