To qualify for UPSC you just need to have a UG degree in any specialisation not restricted to one particular subject. So there should not be any confusion in choosing the subjects for your higher studies.

The course is integrated course for 5 years and you do not get separate degrees for B.A. And LL.B. But a single degree for both courses at the completion of course after 5 years. You can certainly apply for UPSC but only after 5 years of course. And the degree considered will be the integrated B.A. LL.B. Not B.A. Alone as you do not get a single degree as such.

Since you have mentioned you are an average student, I would advise to go for B.Sc. and these days B.Sc offers many different specialisations which might be helpful in order to job market and career. Considering the emerging demands in cloud computing, I would suggest to pursue cloud computing in B.Sc.
If it's not available then go for information technology. Also, BCA is another option which you have not mentioned here. After completion your B.Sc/BCA, you may grab couple of certifications on Cloud Computing and you will be all set.

Nowadays, competition is really tough so cracking any exam is really going to be tough. Both the exams have different requirements, think about your background and which exam is suitable for you because in UPSC exam, you have a deep knowledge of one subject with at least good knowledge of all the subjects.
