Every other civil or government service in the country is the specialist service, and each person to some extent reaches the top of hierarchy, but in the end our structure is such that the final say is with the IAS officers. Except for some departments like science and technology, defence research and maybe a few more departments, where the specialist is the Secretary. Railways is one exception (don't know for how long).

You have not mentioned your stream which you opted for in 12th class, so it is difficult to suggest you something but to become an IAS officer, you need to be a graduate or studying in the last semester of graduation course, the stream doesn't matter if you have a degree, you are eligible. Most subjects included in UPSC are of humanities stream so you need to be good in that particular portion and there will be a paper which is concerned to your subject that you have studied in your graduation so you need to put quite a hard work.
All the best.

You can choose any stream as UPSC only asks you to be a graduate, might it be in any stream of your choice, but if your goal is straight and you only want to become an IAS officer, you can prefer humanities and do BA. Along with it, you can start preparing for IAS.
