It would be better if you pursue BA rather than B.Sc as the subjects of BA will be of great help while preparing for IAS exam. Most common subjects like history, civics, constitution and geography are the part of IAS's syllabus. Therefore, go for BA rather than B.Sc.

Hi Shivani, If you want to become an IAS officer, you should focus on social study subjects like history, geography, political science, economics, etc. So, instead of B.Sc in computer science, you can prefer BA in economics.

Thanks! Is it will lead to difficulty if I do B.Sc. Some suggest B.A. LL.B. Is it worthy for the purpose.
