Dear aspirant,

There is no specific course as such for being eligible to write the IAS exam.The aspiring candidates should be an Indian citizen,and hold a degree or are in their final year of degree and the age should be 21-32 years for general category,21-35(for OBC,Defence,EWS) and 21-37(SC/ST).

There are some subjects one should have knowledge of:

• History
• Geography
• Civics
• Economics
• General science
• Environmental science
• Sociology

The best course you can take up to clear civil service exams is engineering.

All the best!

Hello!

The UPSC exam has three phases - Prelims, Mains and a Personal Interview.

1) Prelims:

This has two papers - General Studies and an Aptitude Test. General Studies includes questions from a vast assortment of topics including Science and Technology, History, Geography, Economy, etc. The Aptitude Test includes reasoning questions and reading comprehension.

2) Mains:

Once you've cleared your Prelims, you can go forward and write your Mains. This has 7 papers plus 2 qualifying papers. From the 7 papers, two are optional subject papers, which can be chosen from a list of subjects.

The optional subjects include Electrical, Mechanical and Civil Engineering, each having a success rate of 5.4, 5.2 and 3.9 percentage respectively. However, you can also select other non-engineering subjects from the list and choose according to your strength or preference.

3) Personal Interview:

Once you clear your Mains test, you'll be called for a personal interview, based on which your selection will take place.

So to answer your question, in case you're planning on selecting any of the engineering subjects at your Mains stage, you can go for Electrical, Mechanical or Civil engineering for your UG. Otherwise, you can select any other branch and still write any engineering or non-engineering papers for your optional subjects.

All the best!

hi,

see upsc civil service exam is one of the toughest exam in india. now see as per the eligibility criteria candidates from any of the course of bachelors degree are eligible to appear in civil service exam. so it does not matter whether you go for engineering or general degree course. however you must know that a bsc or b.s or b.com (//b.com) degree takes 3 years and btech/ engineering course is of 4 years , also btech course is much tougher than bsc or other general science courses. so if your sole target is IAS then you may take bsc , also for preparation of IAS it almost takes one year to strongly build your conceptions and practice of questions.

hope you may understand.
