which is supportive and best graduation field before the preparations for competitive exam (or the of mpsc/ upsc) ?

You can choose any graduation course as per your interest before the IAS preparations.
To be eligible for IAS exams candidate must have completed his/her graduation in any stream from any recognised university.

According to me you should select B.A or B.Com or B.Sc course. As you will get more time for the preparation for the IAS exams if you select these courses.
