    Yes friend,
    You can definitely choose Chemistry as optional subject in the main of the UPSC.

    SELECTION PATTERN:-

    ><Preliminary Exam

    ><Main Exam

    ><Interview.

    In the Main Exam you need to choose any 2 optional subjects.

    There are no restriction in choosing the subjects.

    Even you can choose arts subjects since it will be much scoring in UPSC exams.


    For detail of the exam check http://www.upsc.gov.in

    As a chemical engineer you cans surely score better in that as compare to other subjects. Here is the one advantage which UPSC gives to aspirants is to choose subjects, so you can go with your background similar subject or according to your area of interest. But if you are feeling more affection towards other subjects as well, you can go with it also. Sometimes it happens that aspirant scores good in other subject which they never gone through before.

    Hi
    As you belong to the chemical engineering branch, you would have some hope to take your branch in the elective subjects of the upsc but as you do not have the chemical engineering branch in the list of the optional subjects of the upsc, therefore you can have chemistry as your subject for the mains as it will be carrying much of your chemical engineering course and it will be also relatively easy for you to understand
