Amar, UPSC is a 3 stage   selection process involving Prelims, Mains and Interview which tests your personality test. Prelims has 2 Papers namely General Studies and CSAT.

General Studies has Current Events, History of India and Indian National Movement, Indian and World Geography, Indian Polity and Governance, Economic and Social Development, Environmental Ecology, Biodiversity and Climate Change and General Science.

CSAT has Comprehension, Interpersonal skills including communication skills, Logical Reasoning and Analytical ability, Decision making and problem solving, General Mental Ability, Basic numeracy and Data Interpretation.

If you look at the syllabus, Commerce is not there in the Prelims. But yes it will help you when you select your Optional subject. So when you are choosing a stream to be qualified for UPSC, you should also have a Plan B in mind. You should select a course that interests you, the material is easily available and that subject that you choose has had Candidates who topped in the previous years. So that way you know you have chosen the right subject. And also the stream you select should help you have a career if things with UPSC don't go as planed. So B.Com (//B.Com) LLB is a nice option between B,Com LLB and B.Com (//B.Com) Hons.

Krish, to b e eligible for UPSC, you should have completed your Graduation in any stream. So you can study your Bachelor's in any stream. But previous years Statistics state that Candidates who have studied History, Anthropology, Geography have been able to score good than their counterparts. So you may try that too. This way when you take an Optional subject for your Mains, it would be helpful for you.

So if you look at it National and International History are important topics even in the Prelims. So skipping History might not be a wise decision. You may opt for another Optional subject during Mains but leaving History during Prelims might cost you your qualification for the Mains because at that level, every point matters.
