Hello!
As you have just completed your 12th class so now you have more time for IAS preparation. First select a stream for graduation which will be easy enough to study while preparing for UPSC .Mostly go for the stream which you are going to take as optional subject for UPSC and in which you have interest. Most important habit to develop for this exam is start newspaper reading from now and analyse your UPSC syllabus and just see all your previous year question papers. As you will get time start reading ncert of class 6 to 12 so that you can prepare your base good and then go for reference books when all the ncert are at your fingertips.
Best of luck!
