Well, Happy to know you are very determined about To be an IAS...according to me.. you have to do well in your graduation subjects also along with IAS preparation.

Don't go for B.tech as you are keen interested in IAS...and it will take 4 years to complete graduation.

You can opt. for the following subject and you will have an upperhand as compared to other if you will for for B.Sc or B.A. in Political Science/History/Economy/Geography...

as they are the core subjects in UPSC Prelims and you may opt them as your optional subjects... thus getting an upperhand somehow.

Hope you are getting me.
