Eligibility For UPSC Exams


Since you haven't exactly mentioned the name of the UPSC Exam to which you are referring to hence, I am assuming that you are talking about the Civil Service Exams which is conducted every year by the UPSC for becoming an IAS,IPS, Foreign Service Officer,etc

For appearing in the Civil Service Exams, you need to have the following minimum eligibility criterion :-

1) The candidate must be within the age limit of

21-30 years if belonging to general category
21-33 years if OBC
21-35 years if SC/ST

2) The candidates must have also cleared their graduation in any stream from a recognized University..

3) The maximum number of attempts applicable for the general candidates is 4, for OBC its 7 and there is no restriction on the number of attempts for the SC/ST/PD candidates


If you have not exhausted all your attempts then you are certainly eligible for appearing for the exam provided that you have done your graduation from a recognized University..

The Prelims will consist of 2 objective papers and shall be conducted on the 20th May,2012

The Mains shall consist of 9 papers testing your overall graduation knowledge and English as well..

The paper pattern for the IAS Mains is given in the attachments..

The Mains shall be conducted on 5th October,2012..

For any more details on the exam you can visit http://upsc.gov.in

all the best..

With Warm Regards
Nitz
