Dear,

Following is the Eligibility Criteria for IAS/IFS:-
1. You must be Indian for IAS and for IFS as per Indian Govt. Rules if you belongs to other nation.
2. You must be Graduate before your main Exam
3. You must attain 21 and must not attain the age of 30 yrs.

Age Limits:-
1. General - 21- 30 yrs.
2. OBC- 21-33 Yrs.
3.SC/ST- 21-35 Yrs.

For IAS you can choose your choice of Optional Subjects but for IFS its something Tricky, because there are no Commerce subjects in regards of Optional Subjects for Commerce Students. Generally these are Science subjects. But you can go for Environmental Science and Mathematics.

So Good Luck...
