Hello,

The only eligibility criteria for UPSC is to have attained 21 years age and have passed graduation in any discipline from a recognized university, even final year students are eligible for this.

Now,coming to your question you can appear for UPSC even in your final year as I said. If you've decided for once and all you'll appear for UPSC,then you can go ahead with this choice directly.

As you come from science background, you'll be well acquainted with the syllabus for GATE or even IES for that matter while in UPSC you've to study a lot of humanities subject such as economics, history,geography, polity etc science will be there but in limited way.

It all boils down to your vision why do you want to go for gate,is it for higher education or jobs, and are you looking at it as a part of work experience to apply for upsc later.
