Depending on your qualification and stream of graduation your subject may vary. But basic GS subjects like Polity, Geography, History, Economics etc. are most fundamental. Other than that some subjects you will have the option to choose depending on your interests. Sort out the subjects you are good at and then narrow the list and then study accordingly.

Hi Rushikesh,
First of all congratulations as you'd done your schooling. Well, there's no particular type of graduation for being an IAS.

No, you can just ensure that you are fit, just by going for a morning walk and can exercise at home just to ensure that you are perfect. And even practice running. Gym is not necessary as you are going for IPS officer training, not for boxing or something else.

IIT is an Institute to pursue UG or PG programmes upon eligibility. IAS is qualification to do civil service. So, if you want to a part of an Industry or an entrepreneur, go with IIT. Else you can go with IAS.

Absolutely Right and a great choice. IAS officers are deeply connected to the system and need to be aware of all the laws and regulations. Pursuing LLB is one of the great choice as it will create a foundation for you to excel ahead? Now, the question is you need to decide which stream you want to get you B.Sc Degree. According to me, it would be great if you select a degree related to subjects you will require in clearing UPSC (entrance for IAS). Wish you luck.

History, civics and geography are part of IAS syllabus. If you are planning to prepare for IAS, you have to study these subjects. You can do specialisation in any subject of Science stream.

As far as the Civil services exam is concerned, success does not depend upon the coaching institute that you opt for. Both the centers mentioned by you have candidates being successful and coming out with flying colours! What matters is your effort, potential and smart work. Self-study plays the most vital role in civil services.
