Raghu ,

its very happy to read that your aim is to become IAS officer..

i appreciate you..

coming to your question..

Don't worry much about the degree..

for writing UPSC exam

there is no need of specific degree except for IES

coming to civil services you can have any degree of your choice

Its an intelligent move that you want to prepare from right now...

I think its not that necessary from now on..

Even though if you want to select something which is related to your ambition

then degree in history or economics or Mathematics,or geography

will fetch you in your preparation..

apart from this degree concentrate on

General Knowledge

Current Affairs

History

and so on..

be updated with every available matter..

best of luck..

You can choose any field of your interest and but build strong general awareness while in graduation.

To become a IAS Officer,beter to take Math,Economic,Commerce (MEC) stream for 12th standard,and after take B.com stream in graduation degree.so that this subject will help you lot in IAS exam syllabus.

HI,i "ve completed my ' 2'and my aim is to go for IAS.whether b.com degree in one year is valid for appearing IAS examination?

To become an IAS officer you need not to have any particular degree.You should have any of the UG degree.
If you have passed your +2 with arts or commerce than you can do llb through which you get plenty of knowledge regarding laws,government acts etc
If you have passed your +2 with science than you can go for B.SC,B.E etc.
Better way is to go for B.SC you can gain more general knowledge in this course.

All subjects have equal importance...
If you wish to become IAS officer then you need to be well prepare for this..
you need to be knowledge about Current Affairs ...
And I suggest to you in which you have interest choose that field....because if you choose your interested field then you will do better....so it is based on you what field you choose.

You can choose any degree. That does not matter. The Union Public Service Commission says that candidate should have a graduation degree to appear for Civil Service Examination. So you are free to choose any degree.


Let me tell you that no degree is gonna help you prepare better for the Civil Service Examination. You can choose any degree. Your degree should be the backup plan, in case you fail to make the cut for IAS.


A total of 10 Lakh candidates apply for IAS every year while only 300 are selected. Therefore it is important that you choose a degree that can help you with job in future if you failed to make the cut for IAS. If you can pursue Engineering, then please do so considering the scope in Engineering. In Engineering I would recommend the following streams. However you are welcome to choose any.


Computer Science Engineering

Mechanical

Civil

Electronics and Communication

Aerospace



To prepare for the IAS you will have to work on your English which will be important. Then there will be General studies paper that will be part of preliminary and final exam. You will have to study NCERT books for Class 12th to prepare for general studies.


For General knowledge, you must read a lot of newspapers and watch news on television to keep track on latest developments from around the world.


There will be four papers in Main exams for which you will have to select two optional subjects. You can choose any two subjects, but the recommendation is to pick that are related to your course.
