UPSC
Hello,
Look, you wouldn't want to take a chance with an optional course that has 500 marks since they may have an impact on your grade.
In response to the question, you can select whatever subject you choose as long as you are either skilled in it or are interested in it. Only your curiosity will ultimately be able to carry you through. Each and every mark will be crucial in this war of markings. Nobody is going to question you about why you didn't select your graduation subject. Many students pick their elective courses each year based on personal preference rather than academic merit.
So simply calm and choose a subject that you are knowledgeable in.
Good Luck!!

As per the guidelines provided by UPSC in their notification, one OBC category student must have to posses the caste certificate prior to the application date. You need to validate your certificate again near the application date(when the upsc release the notification) your caste certificate issue or renew date must be near that.

The eligibility criteria for both UPSC and CDS is Bachelor's Degree in any discipline from a recognised university,(few of the posts have seperate eligibility like having maths and physics to opt for Air force etc) and in both these exams people from diverse backgrounds appear and qualify, now coming from Maths Background will help you in CDS ( Quantitative aptitude ) and even in UPSC you can have it as optional subject in Mains which is the second stage of UPSC Civil Service Exam. Of course there are other subjects involve too, which you have to study, the syllabus of UPSC is comparatively extensive to that of CDS.
