Also,

Yes, you can definitely first do engineering in computer science and then go for UPSC .  Choosing Engineering also has its own advantage , the benefit of  doing engineering first and then appearing for UPSC examination is that you will have a back , you know UPSC examination is not that  easy to crack so in the worst  if you you could not crack it then with your engineering degree you will have plenty of job opportunities and you can go for  decent jobs.

Also, these days it has become very common to go for UPSC examination after engineering, a lot of students complete their engineering and then go for writing UPSC examination and not only  appear for UPSC examination, they qualify it as well also and some even top the exam : ) .

For Instance,

UPSC 2019 topper, Pradeep Singh was an engineer. Again Kanishak Kataria  who topped  UPSC civil services examination in 2018 was an engineer. There are more such examples.

Thank you

Hi,

Being an IAS officer doesn't mean you can move out with vehicles and show off. IAS Officer is a public servant. He/she looks after the public, their needs and work for their benefits. If you want to be an IAS Officer, just for the sake that you will get fame, name and many vehicles, then, it is not right ethically. If you look upon on an IAS Officer in real, he/she will be polite and decent. It is not like movies where it is shown 10-12 vehicles. In reality, a newly commissioned officer get a single vehicle with a driver and security guards, cook and other benefits as per the cadre allocated. He/she do not have any liability to keep vehicles of their own choice. It is when an IAS Officer, become of secretary level, he/she gets allowance to 4-5 vehicles, but, 10-12 is such a large number.
