Hello there

I hope you are doing good in your life and it's a very good decision that you want to become an IAS officer and you must have completed your class 12th and that's why you are worrying that which degree I should pursue.

For this I want to tell you that to become eligible to give UPSC civil services examination you need not to worry about your degree stream because all the candidates are eligible to give UPSC civil services examination doesn't matters in whichever stream they completed their degree.

But I would suggest you one thing that if you want to prepare for UPSC CSE very seriously and delicately only to that then you can pursue Bachelor in Arts as it will help you you in preparing for UPSC civil services examination syllabus as most of the things gets covered in in Bachelor in Arts degree.

For more information you can refer to this website!
