Hello Vishnu,
There are many courses that would help you.
Humanities: Humanities have traditionally been termed as the bastion of civil services examination. If we look at data released by the UPSC in their annual reports, we can see that humanities subjects have had a higher success ratio compared to others. Despite, this trend the general participation and success ratio of students belonging to humanities background has seen a downward turn in the last few years.
Engineering: If we take IAS toppers from last few years, it is clearly evident that candidates with engineering background have dominated the examination. While the success ratio of candidates who pick engineering subjects as optional in IAS examination is still on a lower side, we can clearly see that toppers have succeeded with technical subjects.
Science: A small but respectable number of candidates from graduates from science stream do take up civil services and crack it regularly.
Medical Science
B.Com / MBA / BBA / CA / CS / CFA: n last few year, we have surely noticed a hike in the candidates from B.Com and MBA background have seen. With the introduction to CSAT which focuses on reasoning, mathematics, data interpretation and decision-making; candidates from B.Com and MBA have started thinking more seriously about the civil services examination. .
Even if you pick the ‘so-called’ ideal steam or the subject, it will not matter until and unless you really are passionate about it. Along with passion, the stream that you choose should also inspire you to study well and study hard as there is no replacement for hard work when it comes to the civil services examination.
Hope this was useful.
ALL THE BEST
