Dear Aspirant,

You will be eligible to write UPSC exam regardless of what degree you choose. Yes, an engineering degree might be slightly more demanding and you might find it hard to devote time for preparation whereas the latter might not be. But it all boils down to what you want to do in future. If you find one of these more interesting you will be able to complete the degree easily. Also, you might need some technical knowledge on your area of choice so think carefully about your interests and choose wisely. Make sure that the degree you have holds some meaning and value to you personally and professionally. Your degree might also end being your alternate career option.

Hope this helps.
