My friend there is no such thing as MP PSC IAS. The exam you are talking about is called Civil Service Examination. It is conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). This is the exam you will have to appear for in order to become IAS officer.


It is a central level exam which is not conducted at the state level. This is why there is no such thing as MP PSC IAS. Since you are in second year of graduation, you can not appear for the Civil Service Exam. You will have to complete the graduation course before applying for the exam to become Indian Administrative Service officer.


The notification of the exam is published by the UPSC in the months of November and December while the exam takes place in May next year. You can find more about the Civil Service Examination like the exam dates, application form on the official website of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) - http://www.upsc.gov.in/.
