My friend your age in 2013 would be 35 years and 33 if go my the birth year (1978) which you have mentioned in the question. IAS stands for the Indian Administrative Service and the exam to become IAS officer is called Civil Service Examination which is held every year and conducted by the Union Public Service Commission.


Becoming the IAS officer is not an easy job. First you have to go through a very difficult and competitive exam. You will have to meet several requirements of the IAS Exam which also includes physical requirements. Unable to meet these requirements, you would not be allowed to appear for the IAS Entrance Exam.


Once you have become the IAS officer, there would be lots of responsibilities on your shoulders. IAS officer has to play a very major role in drafting and implementing the policy of central and state government.

However the most challenging task for IAS comes during natural disaster like drought, earthquake, floods etc or in case of communal violence. IAS officer has to take various measures in such situations at the same time he/she also have to keep the state and central government informed about the latest situation so that the government could make an informed decision on tackling the issue.


Now as I mentioned earlier that going by DOB, you would be 35 years old at the time of IAS Exam in 2013. This unfortunately would not allow you to appear for the Civil Service Examination since you would have crossed the age limit unless belongs to the SC/ST category. I will explain that below in requirements.


Eligibility Criteria:

A candidate should be citizen of India to appear for IAS Exam.

Age Limit:

General cateogry candidate should complete 21 years and must be less than 30 years as on July 1 of examination year.

OBC candidate should not be more than 33 years old.

The age limit for SC/ST candidate is 35 years.


Educational Criteria:

You must posses graduation degree in any stream from a reconized university.


Number of Attempts:

General - 4

OBC - 7

SC/ST - No Limit

dear friend,

As you didn't mention whether you belong to General category or OBC or SC/ST, so it is quite confusing to say that you are eligible for IAS exam or not.

If you belong to either General category or OBC then sorry to say friend you are not eligible for the exam.

But if you belong to other category like SC/ST, then you have two year more to attempt the exam.

Good luck.

Dear Friend,

As per your date of birth , right now you are 35 years of age and will complete the 35th year in May.

So , according to your age you are not eligible for the IAS exam whether it is preliminary or MAINS exam.

This is because of the following :



From the above mentioned , there is only one hope for you if you belong to SC/ST category as the candidates belonging to these categories can apply until 35 years of age .

This is the information i have to the best of my knowledge regarding your query. Hope the information will help you to the extent you want.

Hi

IAS - Indian Administrative Services

This is the most tough and reputed Exam which is conducted by the UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) every year for the selection of IAS Officers. Its very reputed.

But I am really sorry to state that as per your age, you would be 35 years in 2013 year and so the maximum age limit for the GENERAL candidates is only 27 years ! You are too over age to apply for this post. I would request you to carry on with your present job whatever you are doing. Or you can try to take up MBA so that you can change your career.

IAS grants 4 attempts to GEN, 7 to OBC and Unlimited to the SC/ST. If you are an SC/ST, then you can apply till the age of 35 years last. But since you are GEN, you cannot.
