Yes, You can do it after engineering.
Through the distance mode: IGNOU
If you want to do in some prestigious institutions:
By joining in college: JNU in SSS(School of Social Sciences) or SIS (School of International Studies). The latter will focus more on IR.
There are many other good institutes like DU, Central Universities soon. For both of these after applying you have to write an entrance test.

For Master's degree, you can go for engineering or MBA. You can choose your Master's degree according to your interest. M.Tech would be better as through GATE you can apply for government jobs.

Both BBA and B.Com are equally good degree courses for UPSC preparation. BBA being a bit lighter course in comparison to B.Com will provide you more time for UPSC preparation and coaching.

Hello,
As your main focus is on UPSC, you can opt for any minimum level graduation. The basic requirement of UPSC is to have a bachelor degree. Which degree do you have doesn't matter for UPSC. So, you can opt for B.Com or BBA as these are the minimum level graduation which requires only 3 years. Further these courses don't put so much pressure on students. So, you can easily prepare for UPSC as well.
