I hope this answer helps. All the very best for your future endeavors!

The salary of the IAS officer is entirely dependent on how much promotions he/she get during the tenure of his/her service. So telling the final salary is unpredictable. Now in the beginning , after joining the service an IAS is Rs.56,100 (DA+TA+HRA are extra & depends on the category of the place where posted).

Now when the IAS officer becomes Additional Magistrate after 5 - 8 years of service then the salary becomes Rs.67,700 (DA+TA+HRA are extra & depends on the category of the place where posted).

Now when the IAS officer becomes District Magistrate after 9-12 years of service then the salary becomes Rs.78,800 (DA+TA+HRA are extra & depends on the category of the place where posted).

*On further promotions may occur depending on the promotions and the tenure of the service. If the officer have a service period of 37+ years then he/she can get a salary of Rs. 2,50,000 being the Central Cabinet Secretary of India. This is the highest post that can be achieved as an IAS.

** All the figures I have provided are monthly salaries and have been collected as per internet research.

Hi

First of all IAS  is not a course to have a duration, rather IAS is a service in which you can get by qualifying UPSC civil services examination

Your UPSC civil services examination consists of three stages

*The first stage of the exam is Preliminary examination (objective )
*The second stage, Mains (written).
*If you manage to clear mains then you are to go through third stage i.e interview/personality test .

To be eligible for UPSC civil services examination you need to be a graduate in any discipline and at least 21 years old.

And

it completely depends upon you how much time you take after graduation to clear the  UPSC examination as there are many candidates who qualify UPSC in their first attempt after their graduation while there are many who take 3-4 attempts and then qualified and there are some also who are not able to make it even after that.

But don't worry if you prepare well you can definitely  clear UPSC in your first attempt after your graduation itself and can become an IAS officer

To start your preparation  first of all go well through syllabus  , you can check the complete syllabus at
https://competition.careers360.com/articles/upsc-ias-syllabus

*Make a routine or a time table and try to religiously follow it , take short breaks in between your studies.
*Read newspaper daily and keep yourself updated with the current affairs
*Choose your optional subject wisely , choose the subject you have interest in.
*Make short notes .
*Revise :- there's no point of preparing for the exam if you couldn't recall anything in the UPSC Examination so you should stress on revision as well.
*Solve previous year question papers and mock test papers .
*Also work on your communication skills and personality development as it plays an important role in your interview round

Hi

Your profile suggest that you are in class 10th right now .

So, I am guessing that you are asking about the stream you should take after your 10th for 10+2.

You can choose any of science ,commerce or arts stream based on your interest after your 10th for your 10 +2 and then 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.

But yes,

choosing Arts or the humanities in 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.

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

UPSC civil services examination has 3 stages listed below :-

*prelims exam :- it is objective paper and is of qualifying nature , so you just  need to at least qualify it to be eligible for mains examination, the score /marks obtained by you in your prelims examination is not added up or used in your final merit. Your prelims exam consist of 2 papers: -

-) general studies 1

-) general studies II ( csat )

You get 2 hours for each paper

*Mains exam. :- it is descriptive /written examination . There are a total of 9 papers  which are listed below:-

-) compulsory indian language.

-) english

-) essay

-) general studies I

-) general studies II

-) general studies III

-) general studies IV

-) optional I

-) optional II

The compulsory indian language and english are qualifying in nature . You just need to qualify them. The marks obtained by you in these two papers will not be counted towards merit list.

*Interview :- After qualifying mains, you have to go through interview round, and it is more of test of your personality rather than knowledge.

So, if you manage to sail through all the three stages  then congratulations you can become an ias  officer depending upon  rank obtained by you in UPSC civil services examination ,your preference of services and your category .
