Botany
Chemistry

Hello,
PCS is very easy when compared to IAS.
State PCS examination is not very dynamic (unlike UPSC CSE which has become very unpredictable and dynamic). So, chances of getting selected in State PCS is more if one has worked hard.
Good luck.

If you want to crack IAS exam then you should choose BA because with BA, you don't need to study hard, you can easily pass out with BA without much effort, but if you will choose B.Sc then you need to study hard and you'll not get time for IAS preparations.

A Scoring Optional:
Most IAS beginners choose an optional simply because it is considered scoring. Some of the optionals that are considered scoring are Public Administration and Geography. While Geography has returned marks with 400+ in IAS Mains, many candidates have been scoring 340+ and 350+ in P

Dear Deekhsita,
It is difficult to pursue two courses at the same time especially when they are totally different from each other. See what you want to become in your life- an actress or an IAS officer and then do specialisation in that particular field.
Good luck.
