Hi Anamika,
To become an IAS you must complete your Bachelor degree after 12th and in any discipline. IAS preparation is not limited to just one stream.

Yes, it is compulsory for a student to score 75% in boards.

There is always a good hidden thing that seems left as options. We wish you get through the NDA. In case, you don't, Mass Media can be a good option and is indeed a growing domain for those who develop themselves as skilled mass media learners.

Hi Akshay,
Please mention your stream (science, arts or commerce) and your areas of interests to help our experts guide you better.

Hi Aniket, This is a decision you must take on the basis of your interests. There could be many options after PCB such as nursing, environmental science, agriculture, nutrition and dietetics, food technology, pharmacy, audiology and much more. Research on these subjects, nobody can tell you which is best for you since it varies from person to person. All these programs have good scope in Canada. You must know your areas of strengths so that you excel in your class and enhance your career prospects too.

You should write NDA/NA examination which will be held twice a year (April & September). To qualify in NDA examination, you should work hard in English Grammar (I would suggest you to read 'NDA Pathfinder') and in maths. Also, you should be well aware of the general knowledge related to our own country and should fix your timespan of answering a question.
Following these will be enough to crack this exam.

The cut-off of the colleges vary every year, however, you need to be prepared for very high cut-off.The cut-off for DU last year was 82% (minimum).

Go for BBA or B.Com and then MBA, both are the best combination.
