    It is not possible to become an IAS Officer right after completing 12th standard.
    In order to become an IAS Officer, you must apply for CSE exam conducted by the UPSC. You must also crack the exam (preliminary, Mains and interview) in order to get selected for the training.

    It doesn't matter, which degree you have pursued but if you take BA. Then, you can have a lot of spare time to prepare for IAS exam.

    To be an IAS officer you need to have a Bachelor's degree irrelevant of any field or specialization. You can choose the course you want to complete your degree in and simultaneously join or start preparing for the IAS exams. It is one of the biggest and the toughest of exams in India. Start preparing for it from now, it will be helpful. Dedicate a lot of time to your future studies. All the best.

Hi...

I need to clarify first: are you asking about admission to Chandigarh University for B.Tech/B.E, or admission to a medical/paramedical course (like B.Sc Nursing, MBBS, BPT, etc.)

The marks required and exam rules differ a lot depending on the stream.
