Hi Gitika,
IAS, means Indian Administrative services, which is a part of Civil service exams.
To appear for the Civil service exams, minimum qualification required is being a Graduate, any stream.
Post that, you need to clear the Main entrance exam followed by group discussion and personal Interview.
The earlier the preparations the better it is. For the written examination, you could join coaching classes with regular practice with your studies.
As far as group discussion is concerned, Reading is a must. Read everything and anything that you could lay your hand upon. Right from history to politics to sports to logic to current affairs etc. Just not reading but being able to articulate without being argumentative and changing your view points is necessary. Thus get into the discussion mode.
For Personal Interview, prepare yourself to the most easiest to the difficult to the most stupid questions possible. Please try and answer every question logically and being a little witty.

Hope this helps.
Wish you good luck...

As you have mentioned that you have just cleared your 12th class, for your graduation you may seek admission at one of these - Banaras Hindu University, varanasi,......
In order to post replies to the question: "What do I need to do for IAS? I have cleared 12th class"
