Hi

If you want to become an IAS officer then  you need to clear  UPSC civil services examination which consists of three stages listed below :-

*prelims exam :- it is objective paper and is of qualifying nature , so you just  need to at least qualify it to be eligible for mains examination, the score /marks obtained by you in your prelims examination is not added up or used in your final merit. Your prelims exam consist of 2 papers: -

-) general studies  1

-) general studies II ( csat )

You get 2 hours for each paper


*Mains exam. :- it is descriptive /written examination . There are a total of 9 papers  which are listed below:-

-) compulsory indian language.

-) english

-) essay

-) general studies I

-) general studies II

-) general studies III

-) general studies IV

-) optional I

-) optional II


*Interview :- After qualifying mains, you have to go through interview round, and it is more of test of your personality rather than knowledge.


If you managed to sail through all the three stages  then you can become an IAS officer depending on your rank in UPSC, your category etc

Also,

To can become an IAS officer, it is not compulsory to do graduation from DU  ,you are free to do graduation from any recognised University in any discipline.

For reference, UPSC eligibility  criteria is provided below:-

*You  must  have  a  bachelor's  degree in any, discipline    from a  recognised university.

*Minimum  age  limit :-  you  need to  be at least  21  years  old   to be  eligible as on 1st of August of the year of filling the form i. e as on 1st August 2021 for UPSC 2021.

*Maximum  age  limit :-  32 years , also there's 3  year  relaxation on upper age limit for  obc and of  5 years  for sc/st category.

Also,

Yes, you can definitely first do engineering in computer science and then go for UPSC .  Choosing Engineering also has its own advantage , the benefit of  doing engineering first and then appearing for UPSC examination is that you will have a back , you know UPSC examination is not that  easy to crack so in the worst  if you you could not crack it then with your engineering degree you will have plenty of job opportunities and you can go for  decent jobs.

Also, these days it has become very common to go for UPSC examination after engineering, a lot of students complete their engineering and then go for writing UPSC examination and not only  appear for UPSC examination, they qualify it as well also and some even top the exam : ) .

For Instance,

UPSC 2019 topper, Pradeep Singh was an engineer. Again Kanishak Kataria  who topped  UPSC civil services examination in 2018 was an engineer. There are more such examples.

Thank you
