No subject gives you an edge in UPSC CSE except what you are interested in and you invest your time in the preparation. So you have to choose the subject which interest you the most and can go with your B.Des Degree. See every year lot of students from Engineering appears for the examination but they don't choose an elective which is related to there graduation and still get selected. So its all about the preparation.

If you wish to take elective related to your subject of UG then there are no direct elective of Designing in the UPSC. You can choose correlated subject such as Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry but still you have to put a lot of efforts to this subjects as well.
