It means that candidates are free to choose any stream of their choice in bachelor's degree. So, after PUC, you can opt for any subject in bachelor's degree. The essential subjects are Geography, Political Science, Economics and History.

You need to appear for the Upsc conducted CSE.
The official website only mentions that any candidate above the age of 21 and who has a graduation degree from a recognised Indian University is eligible for the exam.
Upsc conducts exams for various posts including IAS,IPS so on.
So as per the eligibility criteria you can select any field or any stream.
