Sir,
I have just given my 10th boards and my results are not out yet , my aim is to clear UPSC and to become an IAS but I am really confused whether to choose the stream like Arts/science/com/PCM. I am an average student in Maths so options are only PCB (sci) and Arts. Will you please guide me for choosing the stream it would help me a lot.
Kindly help me!

U can choose any stream as per your interests. However, I will suggest you pursue a professional course before starting IAS preparation. So the science stream is advisable.
