You can choose whatever field you want because IAS is one such exam which is open to students from all backgrounds. So irrespective of whether you are from science, commerce or arts background, you are eligible to sit for IAS or other civil service exam as long as the course has been done from a recognized university and is valid.

As far as your confusion regarding carrying on with science stream is concerned, that requires a bit of consideration for sure. Assuming you took science because you have a flair for it, it will be wise to continue with it. Changing track as a option can also be entertained if you are not happy with what you are studying right now. At the end of the day just play to your potential and choose a subject you know you can do proper justice to.
