Hello,

First of the the eligibility criteria to appear for UPSC exam is passed graduation in any discipline from a recognized university, you can appear even in the final year of graduation, there is no minimum aggregate required in this case, the age limit for general candidates is between 21 to 32 years, relaxation is offered to reserved categories.

See, there is no such thing as best group/stream after 10th or specific stream after 12th that will help you qualify UPSC exam, the syllabus of UPSC is more humanities oriented as it includes subjects such as history, geography, economic, polity etc, now the only advantage people coming from humanities stream have is they are well acquainted with the subjects at 10+2 level or even at graduation, unlike say people coming from science/commerce/engineering background, if UPSC is the only aim in your life then you can go ahead with choosing humanities stream at 10+2 level and graduation with majors in subjects like history, geography, economics, law, political science, public administration etc, as there is considerable overlap with the syllabus of general studies and that of optional subjects.

However, if at this point you are not completely sure of only appearing for UPSC, and you have interests in other field such as medical/engineering or anything else, what you can do is choose the specific stream, complete 12th and graduation, work in the relative domain for few years to gain experiences and then if you still feel you want to appear for UPSC, then you can go ahead, also it's good to have a back up plan when it comes to UPSC, and if you look at previous year toppers they come from diverse backgrounds of that of medical/engineering/commerce/science etc which only confirms one thing that it's not your stream selection at 12th or graduation level that becomes the deciding factor of you success in an exam like UPSC, instead it's your personal attributes of single minded focus, dedication, perseverance which matters the most for all aspirants.

Hello,

See in order to secure IPS Service your friend need to appear for UPSC Civil Service Exam and obtain the required rank against his/her respective category, now there is no such restrictions in terms of belonging to specific stream when it comes to appearing for UPSC, if you go through the eligibility criteria laid out by UPSC it simply demands candidates to pass bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognized university, and there is not even requirement of specific aggregate in this case, candidates can also appear in the final year  of graduation on provisional basis, now coming to your question, see irrespective of the stream you have at 10+2 or graduation level, UPSC exam is all about single-minded focus, dedication and perseverance. and it remains the same for every aspirant who qualify this exam, yes the only thing with humanities students are that they are well acquainted with the syllabus as in they study the humanities subjects which are part of UPSC syllabus at 10+2 level as well as graduation, but if this was only the reason to qualify UPSC then candidates from engineering, medical, commerce, science wouldn't have even qualified UPSC at any point of time, if you go through previous year toppers list they come from diverse background, now if your friend should choose subjects or field in which she is interested, and this is a very big decision because that's going to impact her future, if your friend have inclination for bio group then she should go ahead with this stream, there is no need to go for MPC after 12th .she can explore many options also, also it's good to have a back up plan for UPSC if the candidates isn't absolutely sure as of now which is pretty common thing, and even if she chooses to do graduation in humanities stream after 10+2 science she can always change the stream, there is no problem in that, but most important remember to pursue a career in which her interest lies, as I said UPSC tends to be unpredictable and over the years it has become highly competitive, so it's good to have a back up plan as per her inclination for specific subject combinations/stream/course.
