Hi

Yes , after your 10th you can definitely choose medical stream i. e PCB for your 10 +2 and then any course of your chouce for graduation if you want to become an IAS officer.

This is because,

to become an IAS officer you need to clear UPSC civil services examination and to be eligible for UPSC  examination there is no compulsion to have done 10+2 in a particular stream , also there's no compulsion to be a graduate in a particular subject, all you need to be eligible is that you should be a graduate in any discipline , so you are free to do 10+2 and graduation in any subject.

From

UPSC point of view, choosing Arts stream for your 10+2 and graduation can be really helpful for your UPSC  examination, this is because in Arts you will be learning subjects like history , polity etc which are a part of the UPSC syllabus so it will help you in your upsc examination. But if you choose PCB for your 10+2 , then you can choose your options open so that after 10+2 even if you want to mbbs ,you can. And after completing mbbs you will have back up so that in the worst you cannot clear UPSC, you can practice as a doctor. So, take your time and decide

To help you further here's a brief of your UPSC exam

hi...

As expected, the exam is open to Indian citizens only, for IAS and IPS services of the ICS.

Candidates are required to have at least an undergraduate degree from a recognized university – Central, State, Deemed or a foreign university recognized by the Association of Indian Universities. Candidates with a correspondence education or a qualification recognized by the Government of India are also eligible. Final year students are also approved for application to the first stage of the exam.

The UPSC examiners are quite strict about the age limit. Only those within the age group of 21 to 32 years can apply. There is an age relaxation for OBC (3 years) and SC/ST (5 years) candidates.

To top the competitive quality of the CSE exams, you can only have a few attempts to clear it. General category candidates have a total of 6 attempts to clear the CSE, OBCs have 9 years, and SC/ST candidates can have unlimited number of stabs at it until they reach their allowed age limit.
