Hi!
It depends where your interest lies. If you want to join the state administration at the sub-divisional level, as a sub-divisional magistrate, and look after law and order, general administration and development work in the area under your charge, you should opt for a career as an IAS. Journalism, on the other hand, is a different sector. If you fancy reporting news, editing, videography, news anchoring and such, Journalism is the right field for you. Also, you can pursue both because IAS is a highly competitive exam. The chances of cracking the exam cannot be speculated at all. You also need to be a graduate to be eligible to apply for Indian administrative services. You can opt for Journalism as your UG course and prepare for IAS alongside.
