I am from commerce field and i want to appear for upsc please do suggest me which course will be helpful for preparing this exam?
Hi
Your profile suggests that your qualification is 12th commerce so I am guessing that you want to ask which subject you should choose for your graduation.
Actually, You can choose any subject or course like bcom,BA , BBA etc based on your interest for your graduation/degree
This is because,
to be eligible for UPSC examination there is no compulsion to be a graduate in a particular subject, all you need to be eligible is that :-
You should be a graduate in any discipline and 21- 32 years old . You can check upsc eligibility criteria at https://competition.careers360.com/articles/upsc-ias-eligibility-criteria/amp
But yes ,
When it comes to upsc preparation and if you are totally focused towards it then ,
choosing BA can be really helpful for your UPSC examination, this is because in BA 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
Some of the best graduation courses regarding upsc are :-
----------) BA Public Administration – Highly relevant, it has compact syllabus, it has a lot of overlaps with your polity & governance part in your GS II.
----------) Ba Sociology – it's study of society, lots of material are useful in GS I, Essay, in Ethics paper as well.
----------) BA History – useful for prelims and your GS I.
----------) BA Geography -relevant for both prelims and GS
----------) BA Political Science – relevant for both prelims and GS II
Some other options are are BA Economics,BA Philosophy etc.
So, take your time and decide .
To help you further, here's a brief of your UPSC examination pattern
Your UPSC civil services examination consists of three stages
********prelims exam :- it is objective paper and is of qualifying nature , so you just need to at least qualify it to be eligible for mains examination, the score /marks obtained by you in your prelims examination is not added up or used in your final merit. Your prelims exam consist of 2 papers: -
-----) general studies 1
-----) general studies II ( csat )
You get 2 hours for each paper
********Mains exam. :- it is descriptive /written examination . There are a total of 9 papers which are listed below:-
-----) compulsory indian language.
-----) english
-----) essay
-----) general studies I
-----) general studies II
-----) general studies III
-----) general studies IV
-----) optional I
-----) optional II
The compulsory indian language and english are qualifying in nature . You just need to qualify them. The marks obtained by you in these two papers will not be counted towards merit list.
*********Interview :- After qualifying mains, you have to go through interview round, and it is more of test of your personality rather than knowledge.
