I am a pi.p.c student and I want to become a ias and which degree course is better

Arhana Chakraborty 12th Aug, 2022

This is a very big misconception among the freshers who want to go for the UPSC CSE examination. See there is no such influence of your subject in the preparation of UPSC CSE. Every year a lot of Engineers, Doctors also become IAS officers and they are certainly not from the backgrounds like Economics, GEOGRAPHY etc. As a result, what ever the subject combination you wish, you can study. The eligibility criteria for the UPSC examination is that the student need to be a Graduate in any stream. So you can complete graduation in any stream of your choice and you can become an IAS officer provided, you must be sincere about the preparation of UPSC CSE. The preparation for the UPSC CSE is the main thing which matters the most for the success to become an IAS officer.

During bsc or after Bsc from botany zoology chemistry which subjects I have to focused If I want to become an IAS officer??!!

Sayan 12th Aug, 2022

Hello,

For the IAS exam, you can enroll in any bachelor's course. It would be great if you figured this out and solely pursued your bachelor's in this discipline as you are already clear that you want to choose Botany/Zoology as optional studies. The optional subjects are crucial to the IAS exam. Even if you are uncertain about this, you should choose B.SC (Zoology, Botany, Chemistry). Because you would be able to study both botany and zoology in this, and you could also choose an optional subject at the end.
