deaf-mute and orthopaedically handicapped candidates.

note that even a blind student can appear in ias exam. and color blindness

doesn't matter. so face your exam with confidence. ALL THE BEST

PD candidates are eligible.

Physical eligibility have restrictions in only IPS as it is one of the defense service..

I think is it is not that necessary for IAS

because as per rule all the PD candidates are eligible and also some special benefits are there for PD candidates in the relaxation of upper age limit..

but the basic eligibility criteria for Civil's

is

The main basic eligibility criteria for Civils Service Examination

->Candidate must have 21 years of age

->Candidate must complete at least degree from a recognized Indian University

this is all about the basic eligibility criteria of CSE

As per your qualification if you have completed Degree then definitely you are eligible for the exam..

You can go through the examination code for Civil Service Examination in the official website of UPSC

Graduates from a recognized University are eligible to appear for IAS Examination. The minimum age limit is 21 years of age. Physical fitness is an important criterion for IAS examination. Color blindness is not a problem for IAS examination. Physically challenged candidates are also permitted to appear in IAS examinations.

if you are colour blind dnt get dishartned you can apply for indian engineering services but you can only opt for indian railways store services grade A officer.... your engineering degree will not go in vain but you have to study very hard as there is only one choice for you in ies....since store service is a managerial job not pure technical job... it is related to invrntary control(operational research)

colour can apply for indian engineering services but can only opt indian railways store services

To become an IAS officer, one has to crack Civil Service Examconducted by UPSC once every year.

hi,

Yes you can appply for the IAS exam if you colour blindness too. Because no physical fitness required for the IAS exam. but yes you can not apply for the IPS is clear the civil services exam.

Hello Friend ,

There is no such written notification in IAS rules about color blind , so it would be little difficult for me to pin point the exact answer , but as per my knowledge those with color blindness are not allowed to sit for an IAS entrance exam , long sight -6/6 is the best and 6/12 worst . And 6/9 is also allowed .

All The Best ! !

There are no physical criteria for the Indian Administrative Service. Which means that even a colorblind student can also apply for the Civil Services Examination for IAS.

The issue emerges is you apply for Indian Forest Service or the Indian Police Service. Here you will have to meet some physical criteria but not in case of Indian Administrative Service.

Color blindness is a minor issue for IAS. Physically handicapped students are selected for the IAS since there is some quota for them. Although I am not sure whether color blind students are eligible for Physical handicapped quota.

But the bottom line is that you can apply for the IAS entrance exam without any trouble. The forms will now made available only next year and therefore you will be only able to apply for the exam next year.

1. Indian Passport holders can apply for the exam.

2. Any bachelor degree is considered as qualifying course.

3. There is no marks criteria.

4. As on August of exam year you should be at least 21 years old and less than 30 years old.

5. As per government guidelines 3 years relaxation in upper limit given to OBC.

6. UPSC allows SC/ST candidate to appear till 35 years.


Selection Process

2. Main Exam

3. Interview
