Hii..
Well both of the subjects are good on their own perspectives. the subject matters when you are in the graduation level. so a subject which would bear you more opportunities in the future would be beneficial.. for that if we take the commerce side then i may say that commerce is not giving you the diverse choice of subjects while as you choose science then there are the most diverse collection of choices you may get you could opt either of the streams- medical(biology) or engg.(maths) side and based on them you could get many subjects in IAS among them.
In my opinion you should go for science side as it is offering you a good opportunity.

YOu can choose any of the three fields viz ; science, commerce, arts.

this is depend on your interest. you can choose any stream for become an IAS officer.

Hi friend,

i suggest you to go in commerce stream in 11th. Because when you

do IAS you need to know something about economics. And you should do an

easy degree as your aim is to join IAS and just to do a degree.
