IPS Full Form - Indian Police Service

Hey! To be a good officer, it doesn’t matter what your educational field has been. People from all walks and backgrounds become officers and what they had pursued does not act as a hindrance in their way towards becoming a successful officer.

Keeping that in mind, preparation for CSE takes a lot of time and effort so the best piece of advice could be choosing the field that you find the easiest. Although there’s no such thing as easy in IIT but there’s always subjects that we tend to be more comfortable with.

Hence choose whatever you can do without facing too many challenges. All the best!

Hello Aspirant,

Hope you are doing great. You must be a graduate in order to sit for the UPSC civil services exam or the IAS exam; nothing else qualifies you. Therefore, it makes no difference if you choose PCB or PCM in your 12th grade or pursue arts, commerce, engineering, or medicine to graduate. Graduation is the only thing that is necessary.

Students studying biology are eligible to take the Union Public Service Commission's IAS (Indian Administrative Services) examination. However, you must have received a Graduate Degree (Bachelor Degree) from a reputable university in any discipline in order to appear in the IAS Examination.

If you are serious about UPSC, I'll advise you to pursue a bachelor of arts degree. Sociology or political science are both acceptable majors. One can pass any government exam, including the UPSC, SSC CGL, State Public Commission Exams, and RRB, with the aid of these subjects.

ALL THE BEST

Hello,

For the IAS exam, you can enroll in any bachelor's course. It would be great if you figured this out and solely pursued your bachelor's in this discipline as you are already clear that you want to choose Botany/Zoology as optional studies. The optional subjects are crucial to the IAS exam. Even if you are uncertain about this, you should choose B.SC (Zoology, Botany, Chemistry). Because you would be able to study both botany and zoology in this, and you could also choose an optional subject at the end.
