Hello,
Yes, it is helpful because unfortunately B.Com and BA syllabus tally with GS papers apart from the optional subject. So, if you take economics, it is really helpful in the exam, but you have to study very carefully and with clear understanding.
All the best.

Hello Rush,
It is not necessary, but after doing graduation in any specialisation programme, you get more value and scope in comparison to class 12th or 10th pass aspirants. If you have no B.Tech degree then you can go for various short-term certificate course by which you can learn more about this field because, for a job, you need to have a proper knowledge about the field.

Hello,
Yes, BA in Sociology helps in clearing the exam as there are some portions in GS Paper 1 which came from sociology but if you take history, geography or economics, it will be beneficial as compared to sociology.
