Hi,
Firstly, tell that with which subjects you have completed your class 12th. You can appear for UPSC exams with any graduate degree. If you want to go for UPSC exams only then go for BA. It will help you a lot in the UPSC exams. -
Greetings, Union Public Service Commission is a central level body responsible for conducting various recruitment exams for civil servants in India. Basic academic qualification of most of the exams is Graduation from any recognised university.

3. A degree from an open university
4. A qualification recognised by the Government of India as being equivalent to one of the above. -
As a matter of fact, your graduation would make only the slightest of the difference. There are optional subjects that you can choose from all the courses mentioned.

Hi Shraddha, You can pursue any of these above-mentioned degree courses. For UPSC you must hold a pass Bachelor's degree from a recognised university.

Well, for UPSC your subjects in Bachelor's are important. You have to check if you are comfortable with all subjects. For B.Tech, you have to go through various subjects altogether. Be it CSE, Mechanical, Electrical. You should join those universities, which will give you additional guidance for UPSC exams.

B.A. will be a good option and you can get time to focus on your UPSC as well as you will have completed graduation . -
All the above mentioned courses are graduation courses, which is mandatory for appearing in UPSC. It's totally yours look out to choose which subject you are interested. Choose it wisely in view of your optional subject in UPSC & prepare it accordingly. All the best. -
U.P.S.C. requires only graduation and age above 21, you can opt any one. My aim is also same and I am pursuing B.Tech. From this year a survey shows that major section of selected candidates in UPSC were from technical field because they have high aptitude level.
