    Hi there, IAS exam or CSE is conducted by Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). The exam is conducted at an all India level. UPSC recruits the candidates for Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS), Indian Forest Service (IFS) and Central Civil Services through this exam. All the ministries and the departments in the union and state governments are headed by the IAS officers that make this exam the prestigious one in the nation. The topper of the IAS exam has the opportunity to become the Cabinet Secretary to the Government of India. It is the highest bureaucratic position one person can have in India. Althou

In my opinion, if you want to prepare for UPSC or any other competitive exams later, you can pursue a BA in Political Science, Economics, History, or Sociology. Since their syllabus is heavily equipped with GK, Indian and world history, public policy, public administration, Indian and world politics, it'll be easier for you to strengthen your base.
