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!!!

hello aspirant,

hope you are doing good.

you can change your branch in engineering through lateral entry.

EE :

EE is a core branch.

placements for this branch in India are in public sector. If you want to get job opportunities in core electrical companies like NTPC you need to crack GATE exam.

it is also called as most competitive branch

ECE :

ECE is not a core branch.

you need not to crack any GATE exam, as there are lot of opportunities for ECE in software field.

students of ECE are also eligible to work in Software industry.

there are lot of opportunities in private sector.

I suggest you to think twice before taking a decision to change from ECE to EE

all the best

hope you are doing well

I'll suggest you to go for PCM cause . For appearing in this exam you have to complete Degree from any stream but engineering is a good degree to pursue being an aspirant of IAS and you should also have 21 years of minimum age. To become IAS officer you have to give and qualify in Civil Service Exam.

The best branch will be CSE as it has many opportunities compared to others. You can do private jobs after graduating and prepare for UPSC at the same time.

if by chance you will not clear UPSC then atleast you have a good degree and you can work for industries

but I'll suggest you to do

BA hons would be a better option for you if you are targeting for UPSC. The subjects you'll study there will give you advantage as compared to Engineering because in Engineering the subjects are completely different from what is generally asked in UPSC.

IAS is a respectful and secure job. If you are concerned about payscale, then obviously an engineer can make more money than an ias. The sector also provides you opportunities to work in foreign. Good engineers get paid in crores. so if you don't clear UPSC then taking PCM will help you to do BTech and then after engineering degree you can also earn goods as well as you get opportunity to work in foreign

hope this is helpful for you

best of luck

see if you are preparing for UPSC then you have to manage your time very efficiently. let's assume that you are taking coaching from 9am to 6 pm then after coming home you have to manage time for class notes, printed materials as well as for revision also. you have to manage all these three. let's clear it after coming from coaching at 6 pm you should take some rest and then from 7 to 9pm you should study very hard for class notes then give 2 more hours to Coaching material the  have your dinner. after dinner take some rest of 1/2 hours then restart study but now do revision of previous chapters in which you are poor.

do your revisions till 12am then study other subjects from from 12 am to 1 am.

after all these just sleep. and be ready for next day.

hope this is helpful for you.

all the best for UPSC exam.
