Hello,
Eligibility Criteria for UPSC is to have attained 21 years age and passed graduation in any discipline from a recognized university. Even final year students are eligible to apply.
So, you can pursue graduation in any discipline to apply for UPSC Civil Service. Now, coming to year question UPSC is more humanities oriented, so people belonging to this stream are acquainted with the subject in a good way. Science students do not study these subjects at 10+2 level. But, having said that let me tell you in the past few years, if you look at the toppers of this exam, many people from engineering, medical too have qualified. Hence, this is the reason UPSC makes no discrimination and allow people from all discipline to appear for this.

If you look at the syllabus for UPSC civil services then you can find that specifically degree in IT is not of much help rather you can go for Maths as it can be chosen as optional as well as it is good to have maths as your subjects as its evergreen subject and will be useful if you interested in study further.
