There will not be any problem if you choose arts stream in class 11th for civil services examinations. After completion of Class XII, you have to study a graduation in any discipline to appear for the UPSC Civil Services Examination. The civil services examination has three parts namely Preliminary Examination, Main Examination and Interview. The examinations are conducted once every year. You have to clear first the preliminary examination to qualify for the main examination. The subjects (Geography, History and Political Science) you choose in the 11th are good for the civil service preparation.

The upper age limit for this examination is 32 years for open category candidates and three years upper age relaxation to OBC and five years to SC/ST candidates.
