Glad to know about your interests in Civil Services, surely you can take up science and still sit for UPSC,in case you are interested in exploring the fields of Science.
Or if your goal is to ultimately become a civil servant, I would suggest to opt for Humanities,as it will help you to build up a structure for IAS.
Because your NCERT skills lay foundation for the civil servant examination.
Hope this helps :)
Wish you success.
