It's a misunderstanding. There are two civil service exams, Preliminary and Main. Prelims is the screening test only and is objective type of examination. Negative marking system is there. The syllabus: - Indian and World History, Current affairs, Basic mathematics and English (10th standard level). Once you clear Prelims, you can continue with mains.
The Mains examination is descriptive type. We have option to choose any subjects from given list. For example, an MBBS graduate who is interested in history can select history as an optional subject. The questions will be based on optional subject.
Commerce and management subjects are in the list. Some other optional subjects are:
1. Engineering
2. Medical
3. Political Science
4. Sociology
5. Public Administration, etc.
So, don't think that civil services is hard for commerce students and easy for arts graduates.
All the best!

So I want to tell u in detail about how it works in Chandigarh university. There are total 2 mst (mid semester test) in Chandigarh university in which one can score the highest upto 24 and rest 16 marks are from ( 2 attendance, 4 assignment, surprise test and so on). Final paper is of 60 marks and total mark including internal and external exam is 100. so if u want to pass the semester exam than you have to score overall pass mark including internal and external exam. For example if u score 30/40 in your internal exam and 15/60 in external exam than over all u score 45. in cu the pass mark is 35 percent of the total mark so it is 35 as u scored 45 overall you passed the paper although your grade will not be so good to get good CGPA. Pass mark also depend on the 35% of the highest mark scored on that subject so it totally depends upon the university policy.
