B.A. And B.A. Honours both are good option for UPSC CSE. In B.A. Course you have to study three different subjects say political Science, history and geography, means 50% of syllabus has also been covered if you take political Science as your optional then around 40 % already covered. So doing B.A. Course will increase your chances.

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 :) history needs a bit more concentration so pursue history honors. Hope you get it :)

I think you should go with History (Honours) as that is more beneficial for you.

Choose History, if you are fine with remembering a lot of stuffs, like dates of wars, names of people and places, the sequence of events, the various acts like the Pitts act, the charter acts etc. Geography would help, if you are analytical.

Geography will be better comparing to history honors. Again it depends on your personal interest, so you know the best about you.

You should go with History Honours which will automatically cover 40%+ of prelims and paper 1 of Mains as new revised syllabus (2013) is concerned.

Hello, It is always recommended to go as per your interest. Through history subjects, a student can go for teaching line. In geography, a student can join the weather forecasting department, journalism, teaching line, work in the survey department. Further, Masters study in geography gives more job opportunities to aspirants. Overall, both these subject have a huge scope. Both history, and geography are equally relevant. History teaches you about wise people, their thoughts, their actions that lead to victory or failure, and the development of the human race, its thinking, etc. Geography, on the other hand, can help you know about the earth. These courses always comes up with a subject specialisation and each subject offers different prospective and career outcome. Not just pursuing the course will help, but choosing right academic partner also matters. Choosing right academic partner is always a challenge. There are many universities that offer this course, but from my own personal experience, I would suggest Lovely Professional University. LPU proves to be the best academic partner for many students. B.A. From LPU is always talk in town. LPU School of Social Sciences and Languages is among the best language colleges in Punjab and India. Recognizing liberal arts education as the crying need of the global education system, the school exposes its students to theoretical rigour, fieldwork and research, along with social sensitization through opportunities to interact with and learn from the outside world. School of Education, LPU is a leading teacher education institution in northern India. The school offers courses from undergraduate to doctorate level. The courses are recognised by the National Council of Teacher Education (NCTE) and the state government. The School has an enriched library with a huge stock of books, reference materials and journals (print as well as online), and modern lab facilities to support teaching, learning and research. The school is a life-long member of Global Educational Research Association (GERA), All India Association of Educational Research (AIAER) and Indian Association of Teacher Education (IATE). The School follows the NCTE model curriculum in its academic programmes. It also holds seminars and conferences at national and international levels. After graduating from B.A. Honours from LPU, there are a lot of job opportunities in various industries. I hope this helps. All the Best.

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. 3. You can take mock tests of either subject after studying. Hope you will get your answer.
