Hello Aspirant.

Its totally depends on your interest. I mean, if you want to do bsc then go ahead or if you want to go for B.A then go for it. But I think, BA surely help you If  you want to become IAS, then you must go for BA as BA comprises many subjects which is similar to syllabus of IAS exams.. Whereas in B.Sc,  you cannot find any relation with the IAS exams as well as it will become  tough for you to manage BSc along with IAS preparation. However, you can prepare for IAS exam as well as can study BA parallely.

Here are some important tips for IAS preparation: -

1-Become familiar with the syllabus for each exam.

2-Understand the competitive nature of the exam.

3-Begin your test preparation early.

4-Choose an optional subject for which you have passion and familiarity.

5-Read the newspaper every day.

6-Study a variety of subjects. The IAS exams cover a broad range of topics. You need to be well versed in a number of subjects to be successful. Here are a few focus areas included in the Preliminary Papers:

•Geography: both Indian and World Geography are important areas.

•History: knowledge of key events and social movements is required.

•Polity: the structure of the Indian Constitution, judicial processes, and international relations are all included.

•Economics: micro and macro aspects of the Indian economy should be understood.

•Environmental Science: Climate, agricultural issues, and pollution should be studied in depth.

•Arts and Culture: historical and contemporary study of Indian music, dance, literature, architecture, and painting are all covered during the exam.

7-Review previous years' exam questions

8-Polish your language and communication skills.

9-Read as many books as you can find.Because the IAS exams cover so many varied topics, reading books on almost any subject can be helpful.[4]

•Review book lists from previous toppers.

•Read classic literature.

•Study non-fiction books of various topics such as historical biographies

10-Take practice tests. Find practice tests online to prepare yourself for the time limits and formatting of the test. When you take a practice test, try to make the environment like the one you will experience on test day.[5]

•Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed.

•Set a timer.

•Take the entire test in one sitting.

•Review the answers when you are finished to learn from your mistakes.

I hope my answer will help you. All the best.

Hii shivam,

To become an IAS officer,

12 th --> Graduation --> UPSC entrance test ---> Interview --> IAS Officer.

As you have completed your 12 th then pursue graduation degree from any recognised university.The better plan is Pursue a 3 year degree course rather than 4 year Btech and all.By pursuing a 3 year degree course you can save your time of 1 year and at the same time you will more time to study for UPSC entrance test during the college days.whereas in Btech you won't have any time to study Other subjects.Your time will ruin out.So take a 3 year degree course like BSc (any field).

All the Best..,

Thank you.
