Hope you are doing fine.

Yes, this is a good choice if you will choose history as a  optional subject in UPSC.

In UPSC one needs to select an optional paper, so you can choose history in that and thus honours in history course help you in building a great knowledge of this subject that will definitely help you in UPSC.

Hope you find it helpful.

Hello student

hope you are doing well and safe. With reference to your query,  I would glad inform you that BA history is also a decent branch and will be sufficient to crack UPSC exam . In my opinion , if you are going to persue BA then in which stream you are persuing doesnt matters a lot , you have to focus on self preparition and work hard with full conistency  . Try to get updated with general awareness,because maximum questions are asked from latest trends only . To increase your problem solving I will advise you to solve puzzles

Hope you found this answer informative. Best wishes for your future
