Yes, but you would have to be specific regarding the exam you wish to attempt. Most of the papers are based on your basic knowledge and it would be important for you to brush up your subject knowledge till 12th, GK and reasoning problems.

Hi,
First of all, I would make it very clear that there is no quota as such for any stream or student for UPSC exam. The only reservations available are with regard to general regulations, as per constitution. Next is up to you. You may take any stream of your choice. What you need to focus is to know the subject better to keep it as an optional paper. For that purpose, even Maths is a good option. You may go ahead with Maths, and keep it as optional subject.

Hi,
To qualify for UPSC you just need to have a UG degree in any specialisation not restricted to one particular subject. So there should not be any confusion in choosing the subjects for your higher studies.

Hi there,
The course is integrated course for 5 years and you do not get separate degrees for B.A. And LL.B. But a single degree for both courses at the completion of course after 5 years. You can certainly apply for UPSC but only after 5 years of course. And the degree considered will be the integrated B.A. LL.B. Not B.A. Alone as you do not get a single degree as such.
