Hello Thanmaya, 

Very very good. It gives me a good feeling, when students are clear what they wish to pursue.

I am sure, you are aware that IAS or civil services can be pursued only after one graduates. A graduation in any field whether science or ARTS or commerce.

So since you are in the science stream, you can go ahead and pursue your graduation in the same stream itself. As such there is no specific subject criteria for these exams. But please note the civil service exam has one subject related exam, whereby the subject you choose, thorough knowledgein that subject is a must. It is generally an objective kind of question.

So you could choose science related subject there. Note you could take up another subject like history or political sciences during preparations for the exams. As said by students they find those subjects easier. I would advise, check the UPSC website and if possible meet students preparing for the exam and get this clarified. You could visit a nearby coaching class. 

In terms of preparations though you have a long time to go, but still would suggest build up the reading habit and also trying to converse on those topics. Not debate but putting your point across. Being witty is also important.

Hope this helps.

Wish you good luck..
