In order to be eligible for the IAS entrance exam, known as Civil Service Examination, there is no percentage criteria. Now matter which stream you belong to and how much marks you obtained in your bachelors degree examination, if you are a graduate, you can appear for Civil Service Examination.
As far as age limit is concerned, the minimum eligible age is 21 years and the maximum age limit is 30 years. The maximum age limit is relaxed upto 3 years for OBC category candidates and 5 years for SC/ST category candidates.

Maximum number of attempts allowed in the Civil Service Examination:

For candidates belonging to General Category: 4
For candidates belonging to OBC Category: 7
For candidates belonging to SC/ST Category: No Limit


For further information and in order to keep yourself updated regarding Civil Service Examination, refer to the official website of Union Public Service Commission.

No specific percentage of marks is required in engineering to apply for IAS. Graduation in any subject is the basic qualification required. You can attend the test any at most 4 times. If you belong to OBC category, then you can apply for the test at most 7 times. There is no such restriction for SC/ST candidates. Upper age limit for IAS is 30 years. In case of OBC it is 33 years and SC/ST -35 years.

Presently I am in class 12th ,Now please tell me how i can become an IAS officer means whole crietria? I seriously wanted to do some thing for my state.

In IAS Exam I can choose civil engineering subject
