Hey!

To become an IAS Officer you need to be graduate from any recognized university, then you need it qualify UPSC exam (3 rounds)

Now coming to your question most of the aspirants prefer humanities degree courses over any other courses due to the fact that it help them a lot during the preparations. You can do B.A, B.A Political science, B.A History etc.

Choose the option which satisfies you best. Anyways, you can also choose any other stream in which you are interested such as CSE, IT, ECE etc.

Thank you
