Hello Gaurav, go through the syllabus once and you will get basic ideas from where to start. NCERT books of class 1-10 are helpful for beginners, for maths and reasoning R.S Agrawal's book is best. It's good to see that you are too young and taking interest in civil services, I would suggest you to take B.com LLB for your graduation course, however it totally depends upon your interest. Also join coaching in 2nd year of your graduation but not before that because it will affect your academic career. All the very best -

For IAS, you have to purchase NCERT books for 6th to 10th class of social science, means history, civics and geography.
You should read newspaper daily like Times of India, Economics Times.
Remember, in IAS, whether it is pre or mains, questions never repeat and you can't predict from which section a particular question may be asked. In IAS 2016, 95% current affair's questions came. So, you have to study at least 14 hours. -
