Hello,

The answer to your question lies in the fact that you want to appear for UPSC with or without back up plan, see BA-BEd degree is really good option if you're aiming for career in teaching as a back-up plan, you can easily appear for CTET and state level SETs if you enjoy teaching, if you don't then you can simply pursue BA program or BA Hons in political science, history, geography, economics, public administration, sociology etc as there is considerable overlap with the syllabus of  general studies and optional subject, in general the eligibility criteria of UPSC is passed graduation in any stream from a recognized university, there is no specific aggregate required in this case, you can appear even in the final year of graduation, and you need to attain 21 years as on 1st August of the appearing year.

Dear aspirant

I hope you are doing well. UPSC Civil services exam is one of the most prestigious examinations in India. This exam is attempted by lakhs of students every year targeting their dream service (IAS, IPS, IFS etc), however, only handful of candidates clear this exam and realize their dreams .

You can definitely target and aim for UPSC 2024 given you fulfill all the eligibility criterions and you know the syllabus and the ways to prepare for it well. You must be a graduate from a recognized university or college to be eligible for this examination, you must be a minimum of 21 years of age and must not be more than 32 years of age.  However age relaxation can be given to you according to the category you belong. I Hope this answer has resolved your query.

hiiii

As you know the syllabus of UPSC is not of some pages. As i don't know your coaching time but let me assume it lets think that your coaching starts from 10am to 5pm then you can do your self study from 7pm to 8pm then make your dinner(if you are living in hostel or in rental room alone) if there is your family member who cooks food for you then study for 8pm to 10pm then have dinner and take a brake from 10:55 then prepare your next subject for studing and then start study from 10pm to 1am then sleep. In morning wake up at 7 am then revised ones what you study earlier then get fresh and start studying till 9 then go for your coaching class.

hope it will helpful for you
