Sure Misha, you may take the UPSC Civil Services Examination after earning your optometry bachelor's degree. Candidates are not restricted by the UPSC based on their undergraduate degree; all that is required is that you fulfill the general eligibility requirements:
1. Educational Requirement: A bachelor's degree from an accredited college.
2. Age Limit: You must be within the UPSC-established age ranges to take the exam.
3. Nationality: You must be an Indian citizen or fulfill the UPSC's requirements for nationality.

The candidates can cover the IAS prelims syllabus if in six months if they are appearing for it for the first time. In case, the candidate has cleared the prelims earlier, he or she can prepare it in three months.
The Union Public Service Commission will notify the UPSC IAS Syllabus 2026 in its official notification. The Commission will release the Civil Service 2026 notification on January 14, 2026.
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.
