Dear Suresh,

You can select any stream in class 10th and 12 th to write the UPSC exam. But the mist preferred and most useful stream would be the Arts stream with subjects including History, Geography, English and political science.

For your degree course also the same applies. But following are the list of most academic backgrounds which are useful for scoring good in UPSC exam:

• Engineering
• Medical
• Humanities
• Science

All the best
