Hello,

When it comes to the eligibility criteria for UPSC Geologist Exam, candidates needs to have passed Master's Degree in Geological Science or Geology or Applied Geology or Geo-Exploration or Mineral Exploration or Engineering Geology or Marine Geology or Earth Science and Resources Management or Oceanography and Coastal Areas Studies or Petroleum Geosciences or Petroleum 6 Exploration or Geochemistry or Geological Technology or Geophysical Technology from a recognized university.

Central University of Karnataka may be relatively new but it's an emerging university considering its repute of being a central institution. Now, coming to your question, as you fulfill the criteria of passing MSc Applied Geology from a recognized university, so you can definitely appear for this exam, nowhere in the official notification has it been determined about any rules considering subjects specific in graduation stream, also all the subjects mentioned regarding eligibility criteria are inter-related, moreover even your graduation subject geography is an allied subject of geology and talking about qualifying examination it will entirely depend on your preparation and the same goes for personality test as well.
