definitely CSE >> CAT but the problem is the entrance. i personally speaking consider myself more suitable for the CSE type of exam still the compettion is a bit tougher in CSE as far as i know + for CAT we have various other institutes like XLRI, FMS,NITIE,IITs unlike civil services where the number seats is limited to a meagre 400-500 including the reservations.
the generality nature of the IAS examination is attracting me.
the examination details r as follows, rigourous they r.
Examination
All India Combined Competitive Examination for the Civil Services conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) comprises of two successive stages:
(i) Preliminary Examination : It is of objective type, which is a qualifying examination.
(ii) Main Examination: It consists of written examination and interview.
The Preliminary Examination is held in May/June and the Main Examination in October/November. One must begin preparations of the main exam along with preliminary exam. This is because there is little time for the Main exam if one waits for the results of the Preliminaries.
A candidate is permitted 4 attempts at the examination. If a person appears in the Preliminary Exam or even appears in one paper, it is counted as an attempt.
Selection to the Indian Forest Service, on the other hand, is on the basis of a written test held in the month of July/August every year.

for CAT as we all know the stress is majorly on logic n english. no technical stuff n no indian language.

I should not advise you on whether you should go for this or that. But one thing i must say that the Brain the NSITIAN's have it's waste to go for an insipid carrer like CS. Well that's my personal opinion.
But yes the " So Called Responsiblility to build the nation is considered" and if you think you can bear the pressure, go ahead.
There is one guy in my batch who might be going for it and i am sure if he does he will get through!
In the meanwhile , i'll ty to keep thngs a bit less abfuscated from the next blog onwards :-) !
