Hello dear aspirant,

IAS is something, which a person from any background can aspire for. It is a very honourable and a reputed job too. As we know "Good things never come that easy" you have to work for an IAS job. 

1. First complete your 12th with good grades (grades does not matter much).

2.Complete your graduation in an Indian college (grades does not matter moch). Getting degree is important, what coarse you take up does not matter.

3.Prepare for preliminary exams (now this is very important). 

4.If you qualify preliminary exams then, you have to attend main examination.

5.If you qualify main examination then, you have to attend an interview.

6.if you qualify the interview too, you become an IAS! 

Hope above provided information helped you.

Sir I am in 12 st .(pcb) and want to become an ias officer which course should I choose for graduation:b.a or bsc

Deepshikha Student Expert 12th Aug, 2019
Hey,
That's completely your calling depending upon your interest. See,the eligibility criteria to crack competitive examinations like the UPSC is that you should hold a graduate degree. No matter whether you are an engineer,doctor,Lawyer or anything you need to get through the entrance Test which is common for all. The test paper is designed in a way that weighs the calibre of a student equally.
So,choose the subject that intrests you the most as you can use it as an optional in your Civil Services Examination.
Hope this helps you.
Good luck.
