Which subjects should I choose for UPSC Mains -2014 being a MCA graduate?

Hi

I am an MCA graduate and want to take UPSC 2014. Please suggest the subject selection as there are not much subject options related to my field. Can I go for Arts subjects as well?
Currently I am working as a software professional. Before opting for coaching and related stuff, firstly I want to go through the basics of relevant subject.

Please help.

Thanks in advance!!
