Would you please tell how to start preparing for an IAS exam, subject that need to taken?

Minimum education criteria = Graduate
Maximum age criteria = 28yrs (for General category and I think it is 32 years for SC/ ST categories)

How to apply:-You have to apply for UPSC (Union Public Services Commission) exam.

As you know that CRF stands for Central Recruitment Fee.
For all exams conducted by the UPSC, you need to pay a minimal application fee.
The fee is payable through the means of CRF stamp.

The stamps are available in the denominations of Rs.50/-.

You need to purchase and paste the stamp on the given area on the form.

The stamp must be checked by Post Office clerk, by putting a date stamp on it in such a way that half of it lies on the CRF stamp and the other half on the form.

Also no CRF stamp is required by Women,SC/ST and physically Handicapped candidates.
