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.

Hello,

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.

Hello,

Both the courses BA LLB and B. Tech. are top most courses and are best option for UPSC. Although B. Tech. will have more hectic schedule as it involves practical classes also, on the other hand BA LLB is more of theory. BA LLB will give specializations in the field of law and governance so candidates can expect some sort of overlapping in UPSC syllabus, but B. Tech. subjects are altogether different. B. Tech tends to build a rationale and logical thinking among candidates.

In past few years the number of engineers qualifying the exam has increased.

For better understanding and reports you can see UPSC's annual report where you can know the number of candidates qualifying exam with a particular subject.

Hope it helps.

All The Best!!!
