If you want to prepare for civil service then don't get yourself into B.Tech try some course like B.A, B.Sc. Take some literature course so that you can focus on civil service.

It will not affect your IPS exam service, while in the interview they will ask you why your 12th percentage is low. I think the best course for IPS is going for B.A. As it will give you lots of time to prepare for your exams. Best of luck for your exams.
