**For getting eligible for the exam, you can do graduation from any discipline such as B.Sc physics, B.Sc Mathematics etc. But in my opinion, you have to choose graduation discipline which helps you in preparation too such as:

--B.A honors in History

--B.A honors in Geography

--B.A honors in Political Science

**If you do graduation in the above discipline then it helps you in the Preliminary exam. And you can take as a subject in the Mains exam too.
