Hi There, You should be a graduate at any subject. That includes Engineering, medical, Science, arts and commerce graduate. There is nothing to be particular about any stream in civil services. The best way to go ahead is to choose subjects in which you SEE future. What would you like to do in future. One important thing to always keep in mind is that there are very few vacancies in Indian Administrative Service and Lacs of students who apply for it. You should always have a backup plan in case you fail to make the cut. Therefore, choose the subjects accordingly. What would you like to do after finishing 12th? If the answer is Engineering then you should select Physics Chemistry and Mathematics. This is how the decision should be taken. Rest be assured that whatever subjects you will choose, that will make no difference. You can still apply for the Civil Services Examination. The eligible candidate must be an Indian National having either appear for the final Graduation Degree exam or pass in any stream from a recognised University within the age of 21 to 30 years with upper age relaxation for reserved candidate. But Civil Service Exam is conducted by Union Public Service Commission and as such you will need to prepare yourself for the UPSC exam. In most cases since there are many specializations and subjects which you need to be well aware of, Arts is a stream which is preferred by many IAS aspirants.
1. Read NCERTs from class 6th to 12th, with the basic concepts.
2. Get yourself habituated to read the Hindu newspaper daily, make sure you read editorials.
3. Improve your communicating skills as it will prove to be very useful in UPSC interview.
4. During the final year of your graduation get yourself enrolled in a nice coaching institute like the 'Vaji rams or 'vision IAS and make notes of Current Affairs and practice answer writing. This is when you are required to read all the reference books.
5. Take a lot of mocks in your final year of preparation. As you have all the time in the world to become a civil servant, as of now your aim should be reading NCERTs and making a detailed notes of what you have read. Also make sure to read daily journal, the Hindu is recommended. Hope this answer will help you to adopt a good prep strategy. GO ON TO BECOME A GOOD CIVIL SERVANT!
