Sorry, to appear for Civil Services entrance examination ( for recruitment as I.A.S, I.P.S, I.F.S etc.) there is nothing to do with stream of 10+2. So, you are eligible to select any course.

The eligibility to appear for entrance examination is :-

Candidate must have passed bachelor degree from any recognised university.

Candidates passed degree in any discipline and with minimum passing marks.

Candidate's age must be between 21-32 years and relaxation for reserved category.

So, you can pursue any stream in 10+2 as per your choice and even in bachelor degree. For more information about examination visit at www.upsc.gov.in.

As far as eligibility criteria is concerned there isn't any specific stream required for IPS officer exam. You can opt for any stream according to your choice. If possible look at the syllabus of exam and opt according to it.

In the end you have to prepare according to syllabus of civil services exam. Any qualification will just fulfill the eligibility criteria for the exam.

There is no need to opt or study any particular subject in Intermediate to become an IPS officer. Candidates who have passed Graduation in any discipline from a recognised university are eligible to apply for IPS examination. So, I suggest you to pursue any course of your interest and after completion of your Graduation course, you can apply for IPS examination.

There is no specialisation required to opt in class 12th and further in order to become an IPS officer, you can choose any of the subjects according to your wish.
Candidates those have completed their Graduation in any discipline from a recognised University with a minimum of 50% of marks in it are eligible to appear in the Civil Services Examination conducted by the UPSC.
