    Hi Friend!
    First, you need to know what is UPSC.

    UPSC is Union Public Service Commission which conducts many exams in which Civil Service Exam(CSE).

    CSE has a misnomer as 'IAS exam' or 'UPSC exam'.

    The list of optional subjects for Civil Engineering are :

    Agriculture

    Management


    Animal Husbandry & Vetinary Science


    Mathematics


    Anthropology


    Botany


    Medical Science


    Chemistry


    Philosophy


    Physics


    Commerce & Accountancy


    Political Science & International Relations


    Economics


    Psychology


    Public Administration


    Geography


    Sociology


    Geology


    Statistics


    Indian History


    Zoology



    So You need to select one subject from the shortlist above and one of the two optional subjects is Civil Engineering

    I'd suggest you to go with Public Administration on the other because it has very less content to study.


    You can have all the details abot the CSE at http://www.upsc.gov.in/

    I WISH YOU ALL SUCCESS
