So, let’s begin with the topic “which academic stream one should choose in order to increase the chance of success in the UPSC exam?

The Exam Structure (of IAS exam)

This exam contains three stages the first one is the preliminary exam second is the mains exam and the third one is the personality test (that is interview).

Talking about the syllabus, we can judge that the syllabus is very vast and it is very comprehensive in nature. It includes all the subjects like history, geography, polity economy , science, ethics and current affairs. Along with it, there is an additional choice to select an optional subject for the mains exam. And one good thing is that any graduate from any discipline can apply for IAS exam. But one should be aware about the effect of stream on the chances of success.

Which Stream Is Best After 10th

HUMANITIES, A POPULAR CHOICE:—

The humanity stream is most often chosen by the students who want to apply for UPSC in future.

And one reason behind this is the fact that UPSC exam mainly contains subjects like political science history geography and economics. That’s why by choosing humanity in higher schooling offers a strong foundation for humanity stream and makes it easier to crack the exam. F or example, if we study political science, then we get to know about constitution international relations and governance. In the same manner history and geography for a significant portion for prelims and the mains exam and thus humanities students at an advantage while preparing for the exam.

Science and Commerce :—

You may wonder that many successful IAS officer belong to Science and Commerce backgrounds. The reason behind their selection is that the science stream and Commerce stream develops their thinking process in a different way. For example, the subjects like science, mathematics and Commerce enable them to think in divergent manner and thus they think fast and logical manner their interpretation skills also develop along with their analytical skills. So, they easily clear the CSAT paper in prelims. They can even opt for subjects like Physics, Mathematics or Medical Sciences in their optional subject paper.

The media reports reveal that from 2017 to 2021, the total number of selected candidates were 4371 in which 2783 candidates (63%) were from Engeneering background. This shows that in recent years, the success rate in IAS is quite high for those who belonged to Science stream.If we talk about commerce students, they have a deep exposure of finance, economics and business studies. These topics are central to the GS paper-III in the mains. In the optional subject they can choose Economics or Accountancy.

Finally, passion and interest matters !

You all must remember that no particular stream can guarantee 100% success in UPSC exam. But stream in graduation (and class-12) just increases the chances of success. The purpose of IAS exam is to test a candidate’s overall aptitude, personality, knowledge and dedication.

If you develop interest in any particular subject, you must be able to learn it very easily. And Humanities subjects are not that much difficult as you think. They are also very easy to understand. The thing that creates the difference is your passion and your mindset related to that subject. So, it is my advice to you all, that always have a positive outlook on any subject you are pursuing.

Conclusion :—

No any particular stream can make you an IAS. It is just your will-power, your passion and your dedication towards the study. Humanities overlaps with the vast syllabus of UPSC exam. But UPSC involves various cognitive skills like divergent thinking, critical thinking, creative thinking, analytical skills, logical thinking, etc. And these skills develop much more when one takes Science stream. Therefore, both streams carry significant contributions that are in resonance with the exam structure and syllabus of UPSC exam. So, I would like to conclude that although syllabus of UPSC exam matches more with Humanities, yet there are many things in UPSC exam at which Science students perform well.
