See Dear Aspirant,

What I understand, presently you are in first year of your graduation, and you may be very well knowing graduation is the minimum eligibility to appear for Civil Services Examinations conducted annually by the UPSC, RIGHT?

So, I would today advise you to go ahead with your graduation with an eye on the exams you would be appearing during or after your finals of Bsc.

Meanwhile, it would be highly important that you choose a couple of subjects available in your graduation course and start preparing simultaneously for the CSEs. I think this can be the best way to fair well in the graduation and CSEs as well!

Ofcourse, the other requirements of CSE, such as preparation for G.S., Language, etc. can also be your cup of tea at this stage.

All the Best.
