dear sir can a karnataka state open university (correspondent) degree is eligible to take IAS exam?

The IAS or Indian Administrative Service Examination is in all likelihood the most challenging tests to crack inside of India. The fact is as per one research concerning the Civil Services Exam, the IAS is actually the next most difficult examination, just after the French Civil Services Test, to cope with. However it is undoubtedly manageable.
