Well, there is no requirement as such of any particular degree after class 12th to head towards UPSC preparations. All you need to have a Bachelor's degree and that could be any course. Also, you only need an optional paper to study which could anything apart from your Bachelor's course as well. But, yes for purpose of general studies, a Bachelors in humanities could be fruitful. However one may prepare general studies even if he had humanities or had not. So just try finding your interest and decide.

Usual answer would be the field of your choice as for IAS/Civil services you should have a degree from any background. Good to see that you have decided at an early stage what you want to be. As per my opinion the 2 best options for you would be Engineering or Arts. Engineering: Takes 4 years to complete but your analytical skills will improve. And there are ample job opportunities after this so it'll be a backup for Arts/Humanities: Most of the Civil services exam syllabus are covered here. It'll take 3 years to complete hence saves an year. Start reading newspaper and NCERTs right away. Stay physically fit whatever stream you choose....more
