I would suggest to take history and polities because , if one wants to make this examination easy to crack then i would suggest to take humanities since it includes major portion of the syllabus.

If you are asking for eligiblity, then you only need a bachelor degree in any decipline. And if you are thinking of taking criminology as an optional subject in upsc then you can check full list of subjects which you can opt for on the upsc official website.

All the Best

IES is considered as one of the toughest examinations in India. It is due to the difficulty related to the examination and also the selection procedure. Thereare less number of posts and more number of aspirants for IES every year. Although IES is difficult, it can be achieved by proper plan and execution of result oriented study.

In view of the vast syllabus and tough competition in IES, only a few candidates can get good ranks in their very first attempt. Majority of the candidates get good ranks in their 2nd or 3rd or higher attempts.

In terms of branch selection, there is no preferable branch if you want to take up IES exam. Choose a branch in accordance with you interest areas and talent and can prepare for the exam as per the UPSC schedule.

Whatever your core branch is, a versatile approach towards engineering can enhance your chances to qualify this exam.Like any other UPSC exam, this one also needs a dedicated and strategic preparation of 16–18 hours a day.
