Hi,
To be eligible to sit for IAS Exam conducted by UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) every year, one needs to be:
An Indian National Citizen
A graduate in any discipline from a recognized university and
In the age limit of 21-30 years.
So the first step is to pick up graduation in a relevant discipline. If you have a strong inclination towards the prestigious subject of Economics, I would say that with a BA in Economics you can enter into different sectors like banking and finance, teaching, retail, stock and share brokering, FMCG, PR etc according to the personnel interest and attributes.
And Civil Services is one of the best options....more -
IAS examination can be attempted by all streams of students and there are no specific graduation stream which can help you to become IAS officer. After graduation, when you attempt the exam, you will have to choose optional subjects. Although, all optional subjects have same difficulty level but some are easier for certain students. Accordingly, BA(hons) will be a good choice.
