Kajal, with UPSC being one of the top notch recruitment exams in India, no doubt everyone's interest lies in UPSC. But to  be eligible for UPSC, you need to complete your Graduation and so first set that as a goal. And with IT as your specialisation, it is absolutely fine to prepare for UPSC. The beauty of UPSC is it doesn't define a particular stream as its elgibility criteria. A graduate in any stream can appear for UPSC. Now your IT will come handy in Mains which is the 2nd level of exam. To give you a glimpse,

UPSC is a 3 stage   selection process involving Prelims, Mains and Interview which tests your personality test. Prelims has 2 Papers namely General Studies and CSAT.

General Studies has Current Events, History of India and Indian National Movement, Indian and World Geography, Indian Polity and Governance, Economic and Social Development, Environmental Ecology, Biodiversity and Climate Change and General Science.

CSAT has Comprehension, Interpersonal skills including communication skills, Logical Reasoning and Analytical ability, Decision making and problem solving, General Mental Ability, Basic numeracy and Data Interpretation.

So your IT knowledge can come handy to select an Optional subject. So do not worry abou that.

You will need atleast to start preparing ahead of 1- 2 years. If you are preparing at home, you need to keep yourself away from distractions and focus on the goal ahead. Gather as much as information as you can on each topic and keep yourself updated. Practise mock test papers.
