I appreciate your decision to become an IAS officer.
We will definitely help you to get knowledge what to do and how to do.
As you are in your B.Tech First year. after completing your degree(B.Tech) you are eligible to appear in IAS Entrance exam.

The basic eligibility criteria to appear in this examination are you must be a graduate with 21 years of age .

if you fulfill this criteria then you are eligible for IAS Entrance examination.
Actually IAS is a Service not an Examination.
To become IAS officer one has to clear an Examination called Civil Service Examination. This examination is conducted by UPSC , A govt body which is meant to recruit top brains in to the responsible services like IAS/IPS/IFS etc.,

This exam is conducted every year.
After the Notification of this exam one has to fill the application form and get ready for the three stage examination
->Stage 1 prelims(Now CSAT)
->Stage 2 Manis
->Stage 3 Interview round.

Each and every stage has to be cleared in order to get the job as any officer.
After completing the final round that is Interview you will be given a rank according to that your service will be decided.

Coming to preparation each and every Individual prepares differently for this examination. Some prefer to prepare at home ,Some other prefer to prepare themselves in Coaching centers.

Its not the correct time to tell about the books which you need to prepare because it becomes too early to talk about it.
The matter of books comes only when you seriously sit for preparation till then you can generally gather material from sources like NET/Newspaper/TV/Society etc.,

If you need any further help feel free to contact.
All the best
