Civil Servant (IAS/PCS)

IIT is an Institute to pursue UG or PG programmes upon eligibility. IAS is qualification to do civil service. So, if you want to a part of an Industry or an entrepreneur, go with IIT. Else you can go with IAS.

Absolutely Right and a great choice. IAS officers are deeply connected to the system and need to be aware of all the laws and regulations. Pursuing LLB is one of the great choice as it will create a foundation for you to excel ahead? Now, the question is you need to decide which stream you want to get you B.Sc Degree. According to me, it would be great if you select a degree related to subjects you will require in clearing UPSC (entrance for IAS). Wish you luck.

History, civics and geography are part of IAS syllabus. If you are planning to prepare for IAS, you have to study these subjects. You can do specialisation in any subject of Science stream.

As far as the Civil services exam is concerned, success does not depend upon the coaching institute that you opt for. Both the centers mentioned by you have candidates being successful and coming out with flying colours! What matters is your effort, potential and smart work. Self-study plays the most vital role in civil services.

For becoming an IAS, it is better to complete the graduation first and then doing it side by side and after the completion then go for coaching and subjects must be BA in arts otherwise if having commerce background then go for B.Com/ BBA as well. As per the wish.

You can join an academy and start preparing as you have so much time. You can cover basics of syllabus using NCERT books from 6-12th standard.

You can directly prepare for IAS rather going for a post-graduation, because UPSC doesn't give an advantage for being a post graduate.
