You are completely eligible for the UPSC and SSC. Only some of the organization asking for the 4 year engineering. And minimum requirement for the UPSC and SSC are nothing but the Graduation which you have already completed. So you can easily apply for exam without having any issue. All the best :thumbup1:

I would suggest you to first complete the Bsc geography and then after completing it go for the UPSC examinations. Normally, the Commission, shortlist the candidates to be called for the interview on the basis of certain pre-determined criteria related to the job. A large number of recruitment cases is handled by the Commission.
