I have completed 3 years of B.Com but I have 3 backlogs in 2nd year which I have not cleared as of now. So, will I be able to apply and appear for UPSC examination? Or, do I need to clear the backlogs first?

You can apply and appear for the examination but you must have to clear backlog before the final selection procedure.

Examination will be conducted in three stages and candidate s have to qualify in all stages for final selection.

UPSC exam (or Civil Services Exam) contains three stages to clear the exam i.e.

1. Preliminary Exam
2. Mains Exam
3. Personal Interview

Every year this exam is conducted by UPSC. Preliminary Exam is conducted in May while Mains is conducted in the month of September. Interview is conducted next year in January-February.
For appearing in Prelminary Exam, you don't need to show your degree or provisional certificate. However, for applying Mains Exam, you may be asked to upload soft copy of degree certificate or marksheet.
So, before applying for Mains Exam, you must clear your backlogs of B.Com graduation.

---There is no any possibility to appear the UPSC exam with backlogs in Graduation.

--So I suggest you to please work on clearing the backlogs first and after that apply for any exam without any burden.

--Do hard work and prepare some useful notes and follow a strick timetable to beat the challenge of backlogs.
