I am a Std X student and aspire to be an IAS Officer. Should I do engineering or should I go for any other degree and then do IAS?
In order to become an IAS Officer, you will have to write the Civil Service Examination conducted by Union Public Service Commission. To appear in the exam, eligibility is graduation (any stream). Some students go for a bachelor’s in engineering specifically first and then appear for this examination. Their thinking is that if they do not get selected in the competition, at least they can fall back on their engineering degree and get a job. But this path gives them less time to study for the competition. So weigh the pros and cons and do what suits you.
