You have decided your ambition in quite a early stage which is great as you will get enough opportunity to study for the UPSC CSE. Now you atfirst need to know the educational qualification for UPSC CSE (its the examination through which you get the chance to be in IAS, IPS, IRS etc):

Any aspirant appearing for UPSC CSE must be a graduate in any stream from a recognized board or university.

Thus you need to be a graduate in any stream. For that you have to go for 10+2 and then followed by a bachelors degree course in the stream you like. After 10+2 you can start preparing for the UPSC. This is said to be the ideal time by many although a lot of students start preparing after Graduation.

Now you can read the article tagged below in order to know about the UPSC CSE as well as preparation tips and books:
