6 years agoUPSC or the Civil Services are the exams that need excellent General Awareness and Political Science/Public Administration knowledge. You can study Political Science Hon. If you plan to work hard even if you take Political Science as a subject in BA (Not Hons) with Economics or Geography or History, even that is better.

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.
