It is the right time for you to prepare for Ias, at first you have to prepare for the subjects you would like to choose and are good at ,then your preparation starts it is good if you prepare for prelims and mains at a time do remember that always take up your easy subjects as most of the people prefer to take history or political sciences as their subjects because they have good material available in the market , check whether you are good at English and any one language check these aspects in your fourth year and with minimum knowledge get into Ias coaching for one complete year you will definitely acheive success

i am a engineering student studying cse 2nd year is it eligible for civil service exams? because there is a combinations of literature and history basis how can i concatenate it?

Pease suggest Some books for IAS PRELIMINIRY exams preparation...

which subjects should I choose,a student of BDS?

To prepare for IAS 2013 exam you will require three things: a proper plan or approach, the right study materials, and commitment.

Planning is imperative when you decide to appear for the Prelims. Deciding to take the exam 4 or 5 months before the Prelims is not a very smart strategy as you have to cover a wide syllabus and go through numerous books and magazines, even though it is possible to prepare for Prelims in 4 months. But I always advise you should start preparing at least 10 months prior to the next year’s Prelims and 12 months ideally, if possible. So if you are targeting IAS 2013 to be held in May 2013 then ideally start preparing from June 2012 itself.
The compulsory subjects are as follows:
General Studies
languages
English

And the optional ones are:

Agriculture
Animal husbandry and veterinary studies
Botany
Chemistry
Civil engineering
Commerce
Economics
Electrical engineering
Law
Geography
Geology
Indian History
Mathematics
Management
Mechanical Engineering
Medical science
Philosophy
Physics
Political Science
Psychology
Public Administration
Sociology
Statistics
Zoology
Anthropology

Good Luck
