B.A. And B.A. Honours both are good option for UPSC CSE.

So doing B.A.

Hello Prince, both the subjects are equally important as per syllabus of upsc. I would suggest you to go with history because it takes a lot to remember each and everything in that subject. You can study geography at home, also geography is quite interesting than history so you can do it by yourself

You have to find out about your own interest in either subject. You can do the following- 1. You can ask some of your seniors about the difficulty level of either subject. 2. Second of all, you have to keep in mind that history is purely a theory subject and geography a theory+ practical subject.
