Hi

One can choose any subject or course  of his/her choice based on  interest for graduation after your 12th

This is because,

to be eligible for UPSC  examination there is no compulsion to be a graduate in a particular subject, all you need to be eligible is that you should be a graduate in any discipline

So you can choose any stream of your interest, but yes choosing BA or Arts is the best Ug degree in terms of UPSC preparation

As

choosing Arts can be really helpful for your UPSC  examination, as in Arts you will be learning subjects like history , polity etc which are a part of the UPSC syllabus so it will help you in your upsc examination

For reference, UPSC eligibility  criteria is provided below:-

*You  must  have  a  bachelor's  degree in any, discipline    from a  recognised university.

*Minimum  age  limit :-  you  need to  be at least  21  years  old   to be  eligible as on 1st of August of the year of filling the form i. e as on 1st August 2021 for UPSC 2021.
