Civil Servant (IAS/PCS)

It totally depends on your hard work and passion for IAS exam. If you choose a B.Com or BA degree then also you can do it. Civil services seem to be a dream of every aspiring student but out of lakhs of students some of them clear it.
If you work hard you can definitely become an IAS.

In your free time get to know about history, current affairs, daily from proper concentration read a newspaper and join a coaching institute. Students should give around 3-4 hours daily for the preparation apart from college studies.

I shall suggest that Civil Services Examination of any state or the Central Civil Serviced exams taken by UPSC demand expertise of the highest level. Taking a course in Graduation shall do great help or may hurt your preparation. I shall suggest that, because of the general awareness subject's importance, B.Sc Hind may give less burden. Take a stream which gives more time for preparation.
