Civil Servant (IAS/PCS)

CSE department is a very good department in government sector as there are many sectors that require computers from generation stations to communication (BSNL) and all other sectors related computers. Since CSE is also a branch of engineering, you can appear for IES.

You can opt for physics, zoology or botany honors. Since zoology, botany and physics can be taken as optional subjects while preparing for UPSC because physics is a common subject.

If you want to become an officer, you must have a UG degree. It can be BA or engineering.

Hello Satyam,
If you do not want science it's perfectly all right. There are plenty of other courses that will give you great opportunities. Commerce, humanities, liberal arts, fine arts, etc. Align your subject with your interest.

The requirement for IAS is graduation in any field, so you are definitely eligible if you are a graduate.

You should take commerce or arts and start preparing for IAS alongside.

It only depends on your area of interest. You can pursue any subject you like if you want to prepare for civil service exams. I saw IAS officers with veterinary science background also.

Hi Anup,
For CBI, you can give SSC examination, while for RAW and IB, there are separate examinations. For RAW, vacancies come out through central secretariat, while for IB, an exam is conducted for ACIO (Assistant Central Intelligence Officer). Moreover, you can also go for IPS services, where you can later on opt for separate cadres in RAW, IB and CBI on deputation.

Everyone has their own opinion and choice of college should be according to one's own preferences and priorities but when it comes to my opinion, I think IPS should be chosen because of its unique concept of on job training . It also provides certificate courses from IIM, Ahmedabad & IIM, Bangalore. Yes, practical knowledge is equally important to make a successful career.

Hi Pavan,
