Hi,

It does not matter which bachelors degree you undergo to be an IAS Officer. For appearing into the UPSC CSE entrance exam, you just need to have bachelors degree in any stream from a recognized college/university. You need to just prepare the UPSC CSE Syllabus in detail and appear for the interview at last. No single course can cover the whole aspects of the UPSC CSE Exam. You can undergo any of your desired course and prepare for the UPSC CSE along side.

Hello,

Here are some tips :

Start interview preparation in advance . Many of the candidates start preparation after the results announced. This will have little time to take more information required to diverse qns asked during interview. If you are optimistic about your results don't wait.

Be your natural self before the board you have to appear what you are no need to wear mask which you are not. They are not expecting to be extra ordinary person with qualities.all of them want is your commitment , how suitable you will be to this job.

Never bluff before the board be honest these are the two qualities that you should be careful about.

Don't blindly follow tips of & advice of boards. Practice before the mirror in your room. You can record your conversation.

Thankyou.

Dear Vandita,

I will tell you pros and cons of taking any stream of graduation keeping in  the mind that you have to become an IAS officer.

See, there is no hard and fast rule that you have to choose a particular stream in graduation to be eligible for UPSC, the exam through which you can be an IAS officer. The eligibility for becoming an IAS officer is to have the Bachelor's degree, no matter from which stream it is.

Now as you are from PCB background so if you take Bachelors of Arts thinking that syllabus are more related to UPSC in this stream then, all the things that you studied till 12th will not be used properly and not only this when you will go to take admission in any recognized University to take BA having Science background then they decrease 5% from your result while making merit list for the selection.

I hope that this will help you to choose the stream correctly.

All the every best!!

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 Geography, Economics. 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.
