If your overall result is "PASS" and by the vvirtue of that if you moved to BCA, upon successful completion of BCA, you are eligible to appear for UPSC, which is the examination for becoming IAS officers. Once you are selected in Prelims, Mains and Interview, your 12th results wont be a problem. Because you passed "Overall". So do not worry about it. But if you are preparing for UPSC, this might help you:

UPSC is a 3 stage   selection process involving Prelims, Mains and Interview which tests your personality test. Prelims has 2 Papers namely General Studies and CSAT.

General Studies has Current Events, History of India and Indian National Movement, Indian and World Geography, Indian Polity and Governance, Economic and Social Development, Environmental Ecology, Biodiversity and Climate Change and General Science.

CSAT has Comprehension, Interpersonal skills including communication skills, Logical Reasoning and Analytical ability, Decision making and problem solving, General Mental Ability, Basic numeracy and Data Interpretation.

You will need atleast to start preparing ahead of 1- 2 years. If you are preparing at home, you need to keep yourself away from distractions and focus on the goal ahead. Gather as much as information as you can on each topic and keep yourself updated. Practise mock test papers.

Hi Bhuvnesh,

Here the choice of opting as a student or as a candidate on your upsc form is all yours because any phd student can either introduce her/his self as a student or as a candidate in the upsc exam form.

Hope this will help you out .

Good luck.

Hey!

To become an IAS Officer you need to be graduate from any recognized university, then you need it qualify UPSC exam (3 rounds)

Now coming to your question most of the aspirants prefer humanities degree courses over any other courses due to the fact that it help them a lot during the preparations. You can do B.A, B.A Political science, B.A History etc.

Choose the option which satisfies you best. Anyways, you can also choose any other stream in which you are interested such as CSE, IT, ECE etc.

Thank you

Now let's say you also crack UPSC, if you want to study MBBS, you should appear for NEET. As of now, there is no upper age limit for NEET and so if you have secured a minimum aggregate of 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology, you are eligible for NEET. It is 50% for General Category, 45% for PWD and 40% for OBC,SC,ST. Now the upper age limit has been put on hold. And we do not know how long that might be the case. But if you crack UPSC and become an IAS officer, you cannot study MBBS and work at the same time. You have to go on a student break, complete your MBBS and then come back and join your duties.

Yes, you can apply for IAS examination.
