It depends upon your interest towards government or private sector. If you feel government designations, gazetted posts as remarkable one, then please go for civil services.

It's like you are comparing apples to oranges. Sit for some time, take a deep breath and then decide whether you want to go into the corporate world or serve the nation.

You have to look for your interest. If you look yourself in corporate, business management then go for MBA but if you look yourself as a diplomat, you want to serve the country, then you may opt for civil services.

One can not opt for direct MBA or Civil services after 12th. You need to opt for graduation.

Most probably, an MBA works in private sector and civil services is a government job. It depends totally on your interest. Both are different. Choose your graduation carefully.

First of all you should focus on your Bachelor's degree. If you have your interest in civil service then select your subjects according to that and start preparing. If you have interest in MBA then start preparing for CAT along with your Bachelor's degree course. I hope this helps.

It totally depends on your liking and interest. Honestly speaking, if one is committed he can make a successful career in any field. So, first decide what is your career goal and objectives. Do an introspection then decide? You will definitely get a right answer.
