So you can choose any discipline of your interest for graduation after 12th, but yes if you choose BA or Arts

then

choosing Arts can be really helpful for your UPSC  examination, this is because in Arts you will be learning subjects like history , polity etc which are a part of the UPSC syllabus so it will help you in your upsc examination

For reference, UPSC eligibility  criteria is provided below:-

Hey Akhil!

This decision totally depends on what subjects you like,which subject doesn't bore you. You can opt engineering, medical, humanities ,or Commerce stream according to your interest.

As most of the people opt for B.A.hons. from prestigious Delhi University .

They chooses BA beacause General Studies syllabus and graduation are somehow 20% same.(basics)

And some people with dream of cracking UPSC CSE also goes for BTech,BBA ,BCA,MBBS ,BSc etc for a good plan -B.
