Hello,

All the three options are best on their part. Each has some merit and demerit. If you are really interested in teaching profession, then you must pursue B. Ed. and clear exams like CTET. But it will lead you as a teacher in schools. It is good option if you want to make money a little early.

If you want to pursue your studies and be a researcher, scientist, professor, etc. then you must choose MSc.

UPSC is a risk at one hand, but a golden opportunity on the other. UPSC may take time but it will lead you to a position that is a dream for many. A civil servant has immense power and reputation. But, according to some sources, it is the most difficult exam in India, so if you are ready to give your 100% for few years, then you must opt for civil services. You can also give state exams.

Handling two things simultaneously is difficult. So, give your best efforts in one field.

Hope t helps. GOOD LUCK

You cannot use UPSC preparations to get scholarship anywhere. Scholarships are provided on the basis of marks you get in any entrance exam or aptitude test conducted by institutes. UPSC Coaching institutes do not provide any option for scholarship except for Byjus. Byjus conducts a national test and based on your marks they provide some relaxation in your fees.

Hello,

The answer to your question lies in the fact that you want to appear for UPSC with or without back up plan, see BA-BEd degree is really good option if you're aiming for career in teaching as a back-up plan, you can easily appear for CTET and state level SETs if you enjoy teaching, if you don't then you can simply pursue BA program or BA Hons in political science, history, geography, economics, public administration, sociology etc as there is considerable overlap with the syllabus of  general studies and optional subject, in general the eligibility criteria of UPSC is passed graduation in any stream from a recognized university, there is no specific aggregate required in this case, you can appear even in the final year of graduation, and you need to attain 21 years as on 1st August of the appearing year.
