hi,

Indian foreign services  post comes under Group A and Group B post of the Central Civil Services of the executive branch of the Government of India. IFS exams is conducts by union public service commission. eligibility criteria is candidates must complete bachelors degree in any discipline from a recognized education board. however since its held by upsc and one of the lucrative exams you have to prepare separately while studying the graduation course. apart from which ever the institute you may take admission, you have to prepare by yourself or taking help from coaching institute. however I suggest you to chose a degree course as per your 12th background and best of interest.

hope it would help.

Hello student to become an IFS(Indian foreign service) Officer you need to appear and clear UPSC examination which is divided into three stages Preliminary, Mains and Interview.

You need to just fulfill the eligibility the criteria to appear in UPSC which says - Candidates must hold Bachelor degree in any discipline from a recognized university.

You can pursue graduation from any college there's no particular college from which you should pursue your graduation.

Feel free to comment if you've any doubt

Good luck

Definitely if you get a 99 percentile you can definitely get a call from good colleges like XIMB, IMT, IMI etc. You may get calls from the newer IIMs like IIM Bodhgaya or Jammu. But your final selection in these colleges depends upon your performance in the GD/PI rounds. So prepare well not only for CAT but for the subsequent selection rounds as well. And try to maintain a good profile. 

All the very best
