The only way you can appear is if you belong to reserve category. Otherwise Civil Service Examination which includes Indian Administrative Service does not allow candidate who is more than 30 years old.

Your hope is based on the caste. If you belong to SC/ST/OBC, then there will be no issue in applying for the Indian Administrative Service. The general category candidates can not apply for IAS after 30 years of age.

So depending on your category, please come to the conclusion whether you can appear or not. As fas as I know, Bansal are not from reserve category. They belong to general category. This makes you ineligible for the Indian Administrative Service. But still confirm this aspect before taking any decision.


Eligibility Criteria

1. Civil Service Exam is open for Indian nationals.

2. Any Indian citizen with graduation degree can apply.

3. There is no percentage criteria.

4. The age limit is set at 21 to 30 years.

5. A maximum of 3 years relaxation if belong to OBC.

6. SC/ST enjoys 5 years relaxation in upper age limit.


Exam Pattern

1. Preliminary Exam

2. Main Exam

3. Interview

IAS Exam mean Civil Service Examination conducted by UPSC every year to become an IAS(Indian Administrative Service) officer.

At the age of 31 years you can apply for Civil Service Exam if you are from reserved category candidate.

The age criteria for General Category candidate is from 21 to 30 years of age.

The eligible candidate must be an Indian National having either appear for the final Graduation Degree exam or pass in any stream from a recognised University within the age of 21 to 30 years with upper age relaxation for OBC candidate up to 3 years and for SC/ST candidate up to 5 years.

Hence if you are from OBC category, you can apply for Civil Service up to 33 years and if from SC/ST category, can apply up to the age of 35 years.
