Question by Kavitha on Feb 25, 2025Hindi

hii sir if we want to study upsc in future after b tech which group we have to study jee mains 98.7 pecentile general male and in which college is best

Ans: Kavitha,

If you're serious about UPSC Civil Services Examination (CSE) and want an engineering subject that aligns well with the exam syllabus, consider:

Civil, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering at top NITs, DTU, or COEP – These subjects have significant overlap with UPSC Mains optional subjects, making preparation easier.

If UPSC is a backup option and you prioritize job security, consider:
Computer Science (CS) or Information Technology (IT) at NITs, IIITs, or DTU – These fields offer excellent job opportunities in case you decide not to pursue UPSC later.

If you prefer to stay close to Delhi for UPSC coaching, consider:
DTU, NSUT, or IIIT Delhi – Being in Delhi gives easy access to top UPSC coaching institutes and a strong competitive environment.

Key Advice Before Choosing Your Engineering Path:
After JEE Advanced, before participating in JoSAA counselling, take time to thoroughly research the UPSC exam pattern, syllabus, and preparation requirements.
If committed to UPSC, start preparing during your B.Tech by joining UPSC preparation groups, attempting mock tests, and balancing studies effectively.
Choose an engineering branch that allows you enough free time for UPSC preparation while also serving as a strong career backup in case your plans change.

Select a branch and college strategically to balance both UPSC preparation and career security for the best possible outcome.

All the best for your admissions!
