The Indian Administrative Service officer is to implement government policies. He/She has to consistently visit places where policies are being implemented to ensure smooth work.

Apart from that during the natural disaster like floods, earthquake and tsunami, IAS officer plays important role in providing critical input to the government to take necessary steps.

Coming to your question, it is commonly mistaken that IAS needs physical criteria. Which is not the case. The physical criteria is part of Indian Police Service and Indian Forest Service but not for Indian Administrative Service.

It has to do with nature of work. In fact handicapped candidates can apply for the Indian Administrative Service which is not the case for IPS or IFS. You will find that there are some seats reserved for the person with disability in the Indian Administrative Service.

Therefore the bottom line is that you don't need to worry about physical criteria to apply for IAS. Simply start preparing for the exam and fill the forms for Civil Services Examination when they are made available next year. It won't be possible to appear for the exam in this year.
