Hi Ak,
There is no particular course which can help you crack the UPSC, SSC or any government examination. At max, it can help you in some section of the competitive examination. The subjects of BA such as history, geography, political science can help you in the general studies section of the examination. Further, you can also opt for that honours course which you are planning to take as an optional subject in the civil services examination.

Hi Amit,
There would be no problem at the interview stage regarding your education though SOL-DU. A lot of aspirants with correspondence background have cracked the examination in the past. At the interview stage, they are more concerned with your suitability and aptitude for services.

Yes UPSC paper has current affairs too.

For general studies, all four papers & essay you can take coaching in Rau's IAS study circle. For English, you may follow some basic books and solve previous 5 years question papers.

That's a great idea, if you can manage your engineering and UPSC preparation at the same time nothing better than that and in 4 years you will acquire lot of knowledge.

Hi Sushma,
Both courses are good, it depends on where your interest lies. If you are also planning to take one of these subjects as your mains optional, then I would suggest please go through the UPSC syllabus and previous year question papers of mains stage and then decide which course would be best for you.
