Hello,

When it comes to eligibility criteria for UPSC IAS or IFS , candidate needs to have passed/appearing Bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognized University, there's no specific aggregate required in this case.

So, your stream in 10+2 or graduation doesn't matter, you can pursue any stream as per your wish, eventually it'll your preparation and dedication that will matter and help you succeed. Yes,arts students have benefit in the sense they're already well acquainted with basics of syllabus, but if you want to keep your career options open you can go for Science or Commerce as well, in case of upsc it's also good to have back up plans.
