    Dear,
    Each and every degree is particular for the ias exam. For the civil service exam qualification is required the graduation passed in any stream from the recognized university

    which is approved by the ugc/aicet or the state/center government approved.

    Each and every degree has own importance to the civil service exam. So there is no particular degree with the help of you easily crack the civil service exam.

    For more information please update with the www.upsc.gov.in

    Best of luck for the exam
