hey there

Hope you are doing great

It's depend on your interest mainly.It is not like that for UPSC you require a particular course, a recognized Degree from a recognized college is sufficient. You can join any degree which you want to join engineering, medical, arts, commerce It doesnt matter, but that course should be degree.

If you want to continue with science stream you can go for B.sc or B.tech but as there are many subjects so you have to give so much of time in college study and activities

And If you choose arts or alike then you can get ample of time preparation and also somewhat similar subjects in curriculum as in UPSC syllabus.

Hope this helps you

Hello Aspirant,

I hope you are doing well.

The minimum eligibility for IAS Exam is that you must be a bachelor degree holder. In order to complete your degree you must concerned about the course so which course you will choose and that course will directly affect your IAS preparation  as you know the examination pattern prelims then Mains and then personality interview,

In order to complete your degree you must choose that particular optional subject in which you have interest. So the question arises which degree, either Bsc, BA, BE, BTech, Bca, BBA, etc. These are the bachelor degrees that must be complete to be eligible.

You have many options after completing your 12th.

Read all ncerts books of 11&12 class of each and every subject and choose minimum 3–4 subjects in which you are interested.

Find out the previous papers of those 3–4 subjects and match the syllabus with the paper.

Complete your study based  on  electives. Having a PCM background  is not  important. You need to  do  BTech  or  BSC.  You can  do ba with  options such as history, geography.  If you want to do engineering then refer the syllabus of each stream electrical mechanical and civil as well. See whatever branch suits you. Pursue your degree of that course in which you can master yourself, UPSC needs masters of their subjects. Go through youtube search IAS preparation, about IAS, syllabus , exam pattern, etc. you will find a bulk of knowledge from there.

I hope this helps.
