B.Tech in IT will not be able to help you directly in IAS preparation. But you will learn to manage your time and make study strategies. If you want to know the best option then it would be B.A in History or BA+LLB. These courses will directly help you to prepare for IAS.

Prepare by making your GS and Current Affairs Strong. And solve some UPSC sample papers to get a feeling of paper. The entrance that JMI takes is a relatively easy version of the main exam. So it will be hard but not impossible.

Not now. You need a graduation degree to appear for IAS exam. Diploma is not considered equal to a degree. You can, however, pursue B.A. or B.Tech after Diploma and then you will be eligible. You can also pursue a distance course with Diploma.

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.
