Hello Akraj,
Yes, you are eligible. The exam council does not specify any particular subject in graduation for qualifying. Do keep awareness about subjects other than History for the personality test and interview, though.
Since Union Public Service Commision (UPSC) only requires applicants to be graduates and does not particularise any specific field of Bachelor's degree to apply successfully for UPSC Civil Services, you are eligible to appear for the exam after passing graduation. However, you must be at least 21 years of age and should be below 32 years; years to be calculated on the basis of candidates' age as on August 1 of the year of applying.
yes!!!
In order to write the civil service exam, u should be a graduate. It doesn't specify any particular stream.
So, All the Best.
