Hey there

A simple graduation is all you need to sit for UPSC civil services if you are talking about civil services no matter from which stream. You can take any subject in your graduation but if you want to pursue BA I'll recommend history, geography will be best as in interview you can't be cross questioned as why you want to change your profession after graduation also you will be completing some syllabus of upsc during BA. But it's completely your choice what you want to choose.

Good luck

Yes, BA sociology can be beneficial in your UPSC CSE preparation run. It is not that it is the only one subject which can be beneficial as you must have seen that most of the qualified students hail from Humanities ground.

In fact it is the optional paper which proves to be a king maker. I have seen various students opting for Philosophy or Anthropology inspite of having Engineering Background.

All the best!!

Hi

Yes, after the completion of your BSc you can definitely write UPSC examination , this is because to be eligible for UPSC or the IAS examination there is no compulsion to be a graduate in a particular subject, all you need to be eligible is that you should be a graduate in any discipline.

You can check UPSC eligibility criteria which  is provided below :-

• You must have a bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognised university

Minimum age limit :-  21 years

Maximum age limit :-  32 years , there's 3 year relaxation on upper age limit for obc and of 5 years for Sc/St.

Hi

To be eligible for UPSC examination one needs to be at least a graduate in any discipline

But D Pharma is not a bachelor's degree, it is a diploma course and thus you fail to fulfill the aforesaid criteria and thus you are not eligible for UPSC examination with qualification of D Pharma only.

So, if you want to give UPSC examination you need to do graduation.
