Hello Abhi,
If you really want to become IPS, then it is quite better to choose commerce or arts stream in which you learn about economics or history geography which is really helpful in cracking the exam.

Hello Priya,
If your optional subject is English, then it may be helpful but if not but your preferred language of writing is English, then it is not so much important as in Mains paper, you have to write answer in simple and easy words so don't worry much of your optional is not English.

Hi,
Sociology, public administration, psychology, etc. are considered good subjects from the preparation point of view. However, you should choose a subject based on your interest.

While I cannot tell you if its worth or not to pursue BA because I myself am a student. But I can tell you that people choose to do BA in subjects like history, political science, economics or even philosophy alongside their preparation for the exams. I think these subjects may help give you a broader perspective into the subjects, however, it depends upon your caliber and choice; if you wish to prepare full time or not. But since you have to have a degree in order to be eligible, I think, BA is a good choice.

Hi Aashish!
You have to be a graduate in any discipline from a UGC recognised University in order to be eligible for IAS exam. The IAS exam is conducted by UPSC and is the most competitive exam in our country. For your preparation I would suggest you to enroll yourself in some good coaching center so that you get the exact idea of the syllabus and you can also refer some good books on general awareness and current affairs like Manorama year book etc. You can refer to this link for exam preparation tips https://www.shiksha.com/articles/study-tips-for-upsc-civil-services-exam-blogId-5953.
