I have passed 12th class and want to crack UPSC exam so if I choose BA (private) , how will it affect in UPSC exam mainly in interview please guide me?

I would like to suggest you that , this is your correct decision to crack UPSC exam but you must go for regular degree.
But, if you are not able to pursue regular course then go for private but make sure to score good in final mark sheet.

More over, only your Marks and aptitude would work there not your private degree or regular degree.
