Hi Shashi, there is no restriction to the educational background. You can be a graduate in any discipline however since a police officer is required to understand the legal system you can pursue law or even political science or economics but there is no such criteria. You must, however, give the IPS exam or even the UPSC/State PSC exams.

If you want to become an IAS officer, you better choose BA as it will help you in your preparations a lot. Choose economics as your honor and keep in touch with the current events. Go through the newspaper everyday and read magazines regularly as it will boost up your general ability as well as brush up your vocabulary skills. History, geography and political science are the subjects that you will be taught in BA. If you choose other options like B.Tech, then it will be a little difficult for you.

Dear Dipak,
Yes, going for arts in class 11th will be a good idea. But, let me tell you that there is no such particular stream which is considered the most appropriate for civil service exam. As you can see in the last year results, the maximum number of candidates selected for IAS were holding professional courses but that doesn't means that you have to pursue a professional course to succeed in civil service exam. You just need to be focused and have to prepare separately for the civil service exam, no matter which stream you belong to.
