Hello Ganesh,
It mainly depends upon your interest. You may choose an arts subject, literature, engineering, science or medicine. After all, you will have all these as optional subjects in the Main examination. Therefore, take up the subject you like or find easy.
Always be in touch with the syllabus of the exam. If you have a clear understanding of how the exam goes, you are half ready for the examination. Go through the past five years exam question papers.
Good luck!

Hi,
You have to appear for UPSC exams after graduation (any stream) and minimum age 21 years. There are three stages of civil services exam - preliminary exam (objective type 2 papers - general studies and optional subject). If you clear this and get in the merit cut-off list, you will be allowed to appear for the next level - main exams. (this is more of a written examination). If you clear this and get into merit cut-off list, you will be called for interview (the last step).
Now, based on your all India final ranking and if you get into the merit cut-off list - you can choose your area - IAS IPS IFS etc.
So, work hard and best of luck

You need to start with basic NCERT books for prelims as to cover General studies.
All NCERT books from class VI on wards are on all the subjects. Some study materials particularly for subjects such as economics polity and Indian culture are required apart from NCERT books.
For purpose of mains, optional is much important to choose. CSAT is not so negligible. So, a lot of practice is required. Public administration history psychology are quite advisable. The rest depends on your interests.

To become an IFS officer, you should have completed your graduation. After graduation or while pursuing graduation, you can prepare for UPSC CSAT exam for IAS. After clearing the CSAT, which is conducted every year and clearing all the rounds including CSAT, Mains, and personal interview, you can become an IFS officer.

Yes, you can do that. You can prepare for IAS after pursuing BCA. There is no limitation of courses for IAS. The only requirement is that you must be a graduate for IAS exams from a recognized university.

You are eligible to appear for Civil Services exam on completion of B.Tech IT. You can do Civil Services Examination preparations along with your engineering studies but it requires lot of planning and efforts. Most of IT graduates do dedicated training and preparations after B.Tech to appear in Civil Services Examination.
