It depends on your interest. If you are interested in engineering then it is a safe option for your future other wise degree doesn't matter in UPSC. -
It is purely of your interest. You can choose a course in arts and sciences which matches with list of optional subjects and prepare simultaneously for UPSC exams, because this will give you long hours of study. Else, you can choose engineering and then sit extensively minimum for a year and then appear for exam. If your family can support you for a year even after 4 years of engineering then you can go by that.

In my opinion, if you want to prepare for UPSC or any other competitive exams later, you can pursue a BA in Political Science, Economics, History, or Sociology. Since their syllabus is heavily equipped with GK, Indian and world history, public policy, public administration, Indian and world politics, it'll be easier for you to strengthen your base.
