Graduation itself is enough to appear for IAS exam. Even you have done your post graduation after your graduation, you can appear for IAS exam with your graduation.

So if you are in required age group, with your graduation as qualification you can appear for IAS exam.

In order to be eligible for IAS exam one should be in the following age group.
21-30 years for General
21-33 years for OBC ( Relaxation in age for 3 years)
21-35 years for SC/ST (Relaxation in age for 5 years) .

Academic qualification :
-One should be a graduate from a recognized university.

The selection procedure will be by
1)CSAT - Civil Services Aptitude Test
2)Main Examination
3)Interview.

With respect to your category, if you possess the required age, then you can appear for IAS exam with your graduation as the qualification

Default Re: Age limit for IAS exam? Is a post graduate student eligible for IAS exam?

yes post graduates students can also apply for IAS exam because----

the educational qualification required for IAS is a graduation degree from any recognized university(which you already have).

but you have to be concerned about your age which you have not mentioned...

because to apply for IAS your age should remain between 21 years and 30 years.

Age relaxation for OBC are 3 years, for SC/ST it's 5 years.
