Nice to know that you want to be an IAS and wish you Best of luck.

Now regarding your question, I would say there is no such subject which can ensure your chances more. See UPSC is an examination which requires a special attention that is to get a job through UPSC you need to study specifically as per the UPSC syllabus. Thus there are no options available that can ensure you more about the selection. I would recommend you that you should take the subject you like the most. This is a very important point because if you take the subject you like then while studying it you will not feel bored or get exhausted. This will help you to study your BSc subject as well as your preparation for UPSC. So take the subject you like the most.

Now you can take some subjects which are in your UPSC syllabus like BSc Economics. So its better for you to go for the subject you like so that you can focus more on your preparation and don't get frustrated due to your BSc courses. But I assure you that the things you will learn in BSc will not be needed exactly in your UPSC preparation. Instead you will find that foundational knowledge to the subject is important. This is the reason why I stated that you should pursue the subject you like and keep a focused plan for your UPSC preparation.

I hope my answer helps. All the very best for your future endeavors!

Hello,

The eligibility criteria to appear for UPSC CSE is simply passed graduation in any discipline from a recognized university, becoming an IAS officer is dependent on the rank secured by the candidate against his/her respective category, see there is no such thing as best degree/course for appearing in UPSC, only advantage people from humanities stream have is that they are well acquainted with the syllabus as they have continuously studied the subjects at 10+2/graduation level, as there is considerable overlap with general studies and optional subjects, so graduation in subjects like political science/geography/history/public administration/sociology/economics/law to name a few helps in this regard, but if you look at past year toppers they come from as diverse backgrounds as science/commerce/medical/engineering etc, hence it's not the pursuing graduation in humanities stream guarantee that you will qualify this exam, or pursuing other streams proves you will not qualify, personally I believe much more than stream selection it's personal attributes such as single minded focus, dedication, perseverance which help in qualifying this exam which remain the same for all aspirants, hence whatever field you choose you must have interest in that as you'll spend three four precious years of your life, there have been many toppers who are engineering/medical/commerce/science graduates to name a few, prior to appearing for this exam, they have earned experiences in their relative domain, and later on appeared for the exam, also UPSC is highly  competitive and it's good to have a back-up plan also, the rest is up to you, you are the best judge of your choices.

Hello candidate,

First of all I want to clarify that JEE advanced is not a intermediate course or degree but it is rather an entrance examination which entitles a student to get admission into to the Indian Institute of Technology colleges.

Moreover if you want to become an IAS officer then the eligibility criteria for applying in the UPSC examination is quite simple because it accepts application from candidates having pass their graduation or diploma course in either of the subjects from a valid university or college.

Hope you found it helpful. If you have any further queries feel free to post it here!!
