Hey Akhil!

Definitely yes.

But these days more than your stream , dedication and hark work matters. If you have interest in MEC  ,I would suggest you to go for that.

Mathematics, Economics and Commerce is the best combination one should go for.

Economics is a main subject in General Studies Paper -II

Mathematics is a very important part of CSAT.

These subjects will also help you to create a strong grip in the finance management.

Like you have mentioned UPSC CSE is your plan A but Entrepreneur,Marketing Manager, Consultant can be your Plan B with these subjects.
