Hi,
It's an misconception every stream has its own value. Their is definitely nothing to degrade any stream. After B.A. I suggest you to choose Academy for IAS studies and this will help you get into the right line in the future. If your preparing for IAS start studying from today itself, that will help you complete syllabus at the earliest. My faculty members told if I start after B.A. I will need 18 hours a day to complete it, so preparing before hands will keep you ready for the exams. Joining Academy for IAS will give your exposure to all the tips and major techniques to clear the exam successfully. I'm an Arts student, I'm very proud of my stream. Nothing to tell ashamed of any course. Your dedication will make any profession the best.
All the best.

Hi,
I understand, you have a lot of passion to become an IAS officer, to make it clear as you know we require basic requirement to qualify for IAS exams is Under Graduation degree in any stream. After the course completion, you have to enroll yourself to any the nearest IAS coaching academy and they will direct you to register and enroll for IAS exams. I suggest you apart from this everyday start studying every day after coming back from college. My faculty members suggested me to study 18 hours a day. So I suggest you to start working towards IAS exams right today onwards and that will help you prepare well before you finally prepare for the exams.
