Hello,

First of all let me be complete honest with your pursuing a degree whether it's BEd or MSc while preparing for UPSC isn't a cakewalk, UPSC has got such a humongous syllabus, and it requires dedication, focus and perseverance of highest level in order to crack this exam, also if you study for BEd then it's subject combinations isn't going to help anyway in UPSC, considering you would do BEd in science subjects as UPSC is more humanities oriented as the syllabus is majorly humanities oriented, science and technology is present in limited portion, and for MSc if your subject is there in the list of optional paper then it may help as you are already a graduate, and already acquainted with the subject, but it will require a immense efforts on your part, I definitely won't discourage you if you plan to study and prepare for UPSC at the same time, as to each his/her own, you must be more aware of your capability, but remember that every year innumerable aspirants appear for this exam, there is fierce competition, as you won't be competing with first timers, but also those who have appeared many times, this exam requires a well-planned strategy, as there is so much to study and moreover if you chose to do on your own, then self-discipline is the key here.
