I am confused as of what stream should I choose after my 10th as I want to become an IAS officer I am confused between arts and PCB So will you please guide me on the degrees I can pursue in both I may take arts but they say scope is less and that my future will be secure if I choose med for neet..

Ayush Maurya 24th Feb, 2022

Hello there

Firstly I want to tell you that there is no any specific stream or subject which you should pursue to make your dream of IAS officer true.

This examination welcomes all the students from all the streams and what it asks in an aspirant is a great dedication towards everything. As you have told that you are confused between Humanities and PCB that which you should take then I would suggest you to take that stream into which you are having interest. Now you can also say that I am having interest in both the streams but by seeing future scope aspect I am thinking to take PCB and to make my dream true I want to take Humanities stream.

So on this I want to tell you that you can still make your dream come true after graduating in a medical field but yes it will take time as the study of medical is itself very broad and barely you will be getting extra time to prepare for Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) examination. Now if you can manage the study and if you think that I am having keen interest to enter into the field of medical then you should take PCB and might be your decision may change in future and maybe later on you will find that you can donate your society by being in a profession of medical or are as a Civil Servant.

So take wisely by thinking these all aspects.

I hope it helps you!

Thank you!

ECOs/SSCOs who have completed an initial period of assignment of five years of Military Service as of 1st August 2021 - 5 years

which graduation is best for ias for pcm stream students

Nisha 6th Feb, 2022
hey there

Hope you are doing great

It's depend on your interest mainly.It is not like that for UPSC you require a particular course, a recognized Degree from a recognized college is sufficient. You can join any degree which you want to join engineering, medical, arts, commerce It doesnt matter, but that course should be degree.

If you want to continue with science stream you can go for B.sc or B.tech but as there are many subjects so you have to give so much of time in college study and activities

And If you choose arts or alike then you can get ample of time preparation and also somewhat similar subjects in curriculum as in UPSC syllabus.

Hope this helps you
