Coming to your question,

When you decided after the 10th class. The suggestions for preparation are :

If you decided to start preparing for the civil service after 10th class. Choose some college that can offer intermediate with civil service foundation. The college should have first hand experience of civil service. Then your group should be either History, Economics, Civics ( HEC) or Commerce, Economics, Civics ( CEC) or Maths, Economics, Commerce ( MEC).

The above groups can have compatibility with your preparation. PCM or BIPC are not compatible for the preparation. The core subject in the civil service is Social science. At this time you should start reading NCERT books from 6th to 12th class including history, economics, psychology, sociology etc. These preparations can help you.
