b.com last year appearing the I A S exam...pelase tell me the details

It is definitely possible to appear in IAS exam before completing the graduation course. It does not matterif you are doing B.com or B.Sc. You would be allowed to appear in the preliminary exam but to appear in Main Exam, you will have to complete the graduation course.

IAS is Indian Administrative Service for which entrance exam named Civil Service Examination is conducted by the UPSC. Civil Service Exam is also for IPS officers thus making it one of the most competitive exams in India.

Since millions of candidates aspire to become IAS officer, the competition has gone tougher by the day. Every year more students are appearing for the exam which has made it very difficult to crack the exam.

Therefore you need to work very hard in order to crack the IAS entrance exam. It would not be possible to clear the exam studying on your own which is why I would recommend some professional coaching.

There are things that can be done by you. For example while choosing 2 subjects for the IAS entrance exam, make sure these are the subjects you find easy. Choosing something like Mechanical Engineering is only going to harm your prospect.

IAS exam is conducted in three levels:

1. Preliminary Exam.

2. Main Exam

3. Interview
