Hi,
Well I would like to bifurcate your query into 3:-
1) There are a few criterion that needs to be in mind while selecting optional for IAS.
*First and the foremost, the Candidate must be comfortable in grasping the concepts of the subject.
*Availability of study material is also an important factor in determining the optional subject.
*Candidate should not choose a subject just because it's said to be scoring or his friends are choosing it.
As far as your prior educational background is concerned, you can opt for either of Science subjects or Engineering along with any other subject for which you possess keen interest and passion. For forbidden combinations visit UPSC website.
So Once and for all, it's about candidate's own comfort in understanding the subject and choosing the optional subjects should be done carefully since it is the very deciding factor for the candidate's selection in this prestigious examination.
2) You can start with self preparation for the meanwhile and then further take up coaching as it would be of great help. I would suggest you to spend quality time everyday by reading journals, magazines, newspapers, etc.
3) You may also refer the books below:
Indian Politics by Lakshmikanth
Ancient History by D.D.Kausambi's

Hi Tauseef.
Mechanical engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of physics and materials science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the design, production, and operation of machines and tools.[1] It is one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines.
The engineering field requires an understanding of core concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science, and structural analysis. Mechanical engineers use these core principles along with tools like computer-aided engineering and product lifecycle management to design and analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices and more.
All the best.
