Hey aspirant!

No.Not at all !

You can pursue your graduation in any stream and course and yes,you are eligible to give the UPSC Exam.

It doesn't matter if the student has done BA ,BCom,BBA,BCA,MCA,BTech etc. He/she is eligible to give UPSC CSE.

Actually BA hons. have subjects like History, Geography, Economics, Political Science, Sociology,etc which helps students during UPSC Preparation.



Eligibility Criteria for UPSC CSE

i.The candidate has to be a citizen of India.

ii.Must be graduated from a recognised university.

iii.Must be 21+ years on 1st August on the appearing year of UPSC Mains.


Many students often ask, Can I become an IAS officer after 12th?Is BA hons. is necessary to become IAS?Is BTech necessary to become an IAS?Do IAS officers study more than 17 hours in a day?

The answer to all these question is no.
