Hi friend,
For B.A degree holder the best subject you need to choose is political science and international relations, History

SELECTION OF SUBJECTS FOR CIVIL EXAM IS DEPEND ON YOUR CHOICE,THERE ARE MANY SUBJECTS.WELL,AS MY SUGGESTION,YOU SHOULD CHOOSE THE SUBJECTS OF YOUR LIKE BECAUSE IF YOU CHOOSE THE SUBJECT IN WHICH YOU ARE NIT INTERESTED THEN YOU CAN'T PREPARE GOOD AND CIVIL EXAM IS TOO IMPORTANT FOR YOU,SO MAKE SURE YOUR LIKES AND DISLIKES AND THEN CHOOSE.

Hi Dear,
As you have completed you degree level and so , you are eligible for civil services exam. But ,you have mentioned that what were the subjects in your Graduation. Nevermind, mostly the students who are preparing for UPSC exam opt the subjects like History ,Geography , Sociology and many others .If you have these subjects in your graduation ,then blindly go for these subjects . Because mostly arts subjects go with these subjects. Even though these subjects will help you very much in General Studies preparation . And if you want to know about the subjects and pattern of the exam ,just go the website named ,www.upscportal.com . Here you will able to find many new things related to civil services exams and related to books and study material and many more. Thanks

Well being a BA graduate the perfect subject combination will be

Any two Language or Litrature subject

ETC.........

But these type of combinations are strictly not allowed.

So, better opt for the subject in which you are good enough to cope up with the syllabus on time and the subject which seems easy for you to take full command over it.

You can opt for any of the following:-

Indian History
Geography
Phisiology
Public Administration
Phylosophy
Political Science

Any of the above subjects are best for a BA graduate to opt for.

YOU CAN CHOOSE THE SUBJECT IN WHICH YOU DID YOUR BA.
THERE ARE TWO SUBJECTS WHICH ARE IMPORTANT .
ONE SHOULD BE YOUR INTEREST AND OTHER ONE SHOULD BE THE ONE YOU HAVE ADEQUATE KNOWLEDGE IN.
ACCORDING TO ME YOU CAN TRY FOR PSYCHOLOGY AND POLITICAL SCIENCE.
PSYCHOLOGY BECAUSE ITS EASY TO UNDERSTAND.
AND POLITICAL SCIENCE BECAUSE IT MIGHT HELP YOU TO COPE UP WITH GENERAL KNOWLEDGE.
I HOPE MY SUGGESTION WOULD HELP.
ALL THE BEST

For subject selection, I will give you some ideas :

1) select the subjects which you have studied before.
2) Never select the easy subject, analyze its scoring value
3) past statistics reveals that subjects with 100 marks can acquire more marks than subjects with 200 marks.
4) Science subjects gives better scoring than their arts counterparts.
5) Languages are usually considered to be the high scoring subjects.
6) However, history subjects have better scoring averages.

History
Political science
Sociology
these subjects you can choose as B.A graduate.

it depends upon ur area of interest not upon owr sggestion but i can help u atleast.
(history)
(geography)
(maths if have opted for it)
(political science)
(public administration) etc.

Hello friend!its good to think about civils as earls as you can .as you have completed your B.A.degree,now you are eligible to give the IAS EXAM i.e.civil services exams.the exam is conducted by upsc on national level into 3 stages.;prelims,mains and interview.If you clear the prelims then only you will be able to give the mains.and then interview similarly.
you don't have to select subjects for the prelims ,the first stage as it shall now from 2011 comprises of 2 common compulsory papers
1-general studies
2-CSAT i.e. civil services aptitude test
for mains you have to select two subjects according to your own interest and capacity.
but most of the arts background candidates,whom i know personally,advise to select philosophy,public administration,political science,geography,history,economics etc.
but listen to what your heart says and choose the subjects.as it is you who has to study.so be very attentive while selecting your subjects.please choose that subject which you assure yourself that you can understand its concept well.good luck!
