Hello,

There is no such thing as best degree for appearing in UPSC exam, the eligibility criteria itself states candidates need to pass graduation in any discipline from a recognized university, however if you pursue bachelor's degree in political science, economics, geography, sociology, history, public administration etc what helps in this case is there is considerable overlap with the syllabus of general Studies and optional subjects, other than this as I said there is no such barrier to belong to specific stream, if you look at previous year toppers they come from as diverse backgrounds as that of medical/engineering/science/commerce etc, hence you can choose to appear for UPSC with or without back up plan, the rest is up to you.
